Abstract

The direct and clinically obvious medical sequelae of acne vulgaris are well described. Physical comorbidities associated with classic acne are quite rare. Often more difficult to detect and measure are the short- and long-term psychosocial consequences of acne. These frequently are devastating and life-altering and in some cases are life-threatening.
