Course Description

Acne vulgaris affects more than 85% of Australian adolescents aged 16-18 and can persist into adulthood. The condition has a profound effect on self-esteem, mood and psychological status, but limiting the duration of active acne with earlier, more aggressive treatment reduces the likelihood of physical and emotional scarring. This four part Clinical Brief series explores how an understanding of the pathways towards acne development can help the GP tailor treatments and work in partnership with patients for optimal outcomes.

Participants must read all 4 issues and then complete the questions on Issue 4 to claim CPD points.
