Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims at providing a comprehensive overview on new and emerging topics about acne vulgaris treatment and management. This common dermatologic condition is burdened by negative impact on the quality of life of patients.
Advances in acne pathogenesis comprehension have been made, and numerous treatment strategies have been proposed. Despite this, the complexity of its pathogenesis and the variety of clinical presentations and emerging clinical scenarios impose a continuous need for new treatment modalities and therapeutic schemes.
Researchers, clinicians, and experts in this field are invited to contribute with original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that provide new and interesting acquisitions on acne treatment and management modalities.
This Special Issue aims at covering a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- New therapeutic schemes and prescription modalities of isotretinoin treatment;
- New advances and critical aspects of the use of systemic antibiotics;
- Advances in hormonal treatment;
- Managing acne in athletes;
- Impact on lifestyle modifications on disease course and management;
- The role and real effectiveness of non-pharmacological therapies and “acneceuticals”;
- Use of isotretinoin in combination with energy-based devices;
- New techniques and protocols for acne scar treatment.
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and meta-analyses that provide valuable insights into the targeted treatment of skin inflammation. However, please note that this Special Issue will not consider mini-reviews or case reports.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank you for your support.
Dr. Jo Linda Maria Sinagra
