Management of Acne; Are Doctors Doing Justice?

Abstract

Material & Methods: 100 patients with acne were divided in four groups. Those treated by general practitioners, those treated by dermatologists with minor degrees and diplomas, those with fellowship and those who practice as dermatologists but they don't have any qualifications. Results: None of the patients was assessed properly for severity of acne and none of them was being treated according to the current recommendations. Conclusion: General practitioners and dermatologists still need extensive education regarding the treatment of this common skin disease.
