“It’s just a cosmetic problem.” “It will go away, so you don’t really need to treat it.” “You need to wash your face more.” These all-too-common misconceptions surround the causes and treatment of acne. Acne can have a dramatic impact on the lives of people who suffer from this disease; both medically and socially. With updated knowledge, healthcare providers can have a large positive impact on acne patients’ lives – in both their self-care and in recommending treatment options.
