Author: GrindlayD J, SimpsonR C, WilliamsH C

Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.
Systematic ReviewA review that systematically collects, evaluates, and integrates relevant research to answer a specific research question.

Overview

A review of recent acne research found that while the link between oral antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in acne is not fully proven, doctors can still minimize risks by stopping treatment when appropriate, using benzoyl peroxide, and avoiding combining topical and oral antibiotics. Combined oral contraceptives continue to show effectiveness in treating acne in women. While botanical treatments haven't shown significant benefit, a large study examining the potential link between isotretinoin and mental health found a possible association with increased suicide risk, but this risk appeared to exist before treatment. This suggests that patients with a history of suicide attempts should not be automatically excluded from isotretinoin treatment. A smaller study suggests that lower doses of isotretinoin may lead to better long-term results with fewer side effects in patients with moderate acne.
