12 Feb 2024 --- The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) releases updated guidelines for managing acne vulgaris, intending to ensure that patients receive the best possible treatment that are applicable to children over nine, adolescents and adults. “These guidelines provide important updates to the 2016 AAD acne guidelines, including discussion of new topical medications, which are directly applied to the skin, and systemic treatments, which are taken by mouth,” says board-certified dermatologist John S. Barbieri, co-chair of the AAD’s Acne Guideline Workgroup.
