The initial visit with a pediatric or adolescent patient with acne and their parent or guardian goes beyond obtaining a detailed medical history. The conversation needs to address a broad range of acne’s physical symptoms and psychological effects on the patient and their family. The panelists offered best practices on how to drill down for that information within the limitations of time and scope each individual doctor faces.
Acne may be the most common skin condition in the United States, with various studies estimating 79% to 95% of Americans age 12 to 24 experience at least a minor case, but diagnosing, treating, and managing care for pediatric patients affected by it has never been more complex. Dermatology Times® and its sister brands, Contemporary Pediatrics® and Psychiatric Times™, asked thought leaders across disciplines to share their insights as speakers for this exclusive webinar.
