“…Awareness of acne patients about acne and its treatment has been examined in the diverse studies. 10,16,19,20 19 In our study, 64.4% of the patients stated that they took their decision alone to consult a doctor for acne and only 13.5% took the decision together with their family. These findings suggest that awareness of the parents was not as high as their children about the need for medical treatment in acne and this may cause delay in applying to medical consult.…”

Oral isotretinoin is frequently used in the treatment of young acne patients. However, knowledge levels and attitudes about this treatment have not been studied in the parents previously. We aimed to investigate the knowledge levels and concerns about oral isotretinoin in the parents of adolescent acne patients. We conducted a cross‐sectional study on 136 parents of adolescent patients with moderate to very severe acne vulgaris who answered the questionnaire about oral isotretinoin treatment. Demographic data and acne characteristics were recorded. The parents' knowledge levels and concerns about the treatment process were asked by the questionnaire. Since 32 parents have never heard oral isotretinoin before, they were excluded from the study. Of the remaining 104 parents, 80.8% were female and 19.2% were male. Of the parents, 62.5% had some concerns about oral isotretinoin treatment and 34.6% had no idea whether the drug is suitable for the use of <18 years. 52.9% stated that they think the drug will damage the liver. The most known and worrying side effects were dry lips and vision problems, respectively. The knowledge levels about oral isotretinoin treatment and its side effects were low in the parents of adolescent acne patients, leading to prejudice to the drug.

Barriers to healthcare access (BtHA) are factors that prevent a patient or patient population from obtaining necessary medical care. 1 Past research has revealed that BtHA are multifactorial, and in some instances, may manifest from or propagate an existing health inequity. BtHA can be categorized as systemic, sociocultural, or individual barriers. 1,2 Systemic barriers include those that arise from legal frameworks, governmental policies or institutional policies and practices. 2 For example, requiring a fixed address for identification and health insurance can act as a systemic barrier against homeless patients. Meanwhile, sociocultural barriers include factors arising from a group characteristic, such as a race/ethnicity, religion, or locality. 2 Common barriers that fall within this category stem from communication difficulties or a lack of comfort in seeking care. Individual barriers refer to characteristics unique to a patient that negatively impacts their access to health care. 1,2 These can include being overburdened with responsibilities, having previously experienced discrimination in health care or having medical and/or mental health conditions that make healthcare access challenging.Within the last two decades, a growing number of studies have examined BtHA in the context of medical specialties. These studies have confirmed that BtHA such as geography, wait times, insurance, healthcare knowledge, language, and race/ethnicity apply beyond primary care specialties. Dermatology is not immune to these issues with some studies identifying unique health inequities and barriers.For example, some studies have found an underrepresentation in the number of healthcare providers of ethnic minorities and limited institutional training and exposure to skin of color. 3,4 Improvement to either domain may lead to increased patient satisfaction and outcomes for African American patients. 4,5 In contrast to adult dermatology, little research has been conducted on BtHA within the context of pediatric dermatology. Pediatric patients likely have additional unique barriers due to factors such as their reliance on caregivers and the local availability of pediatric dermatologists. This systematic review
