Abstract

A group of nine patients with severe nodulocystic acne vulgaris were treated with oral 13-cis-retinoic acid and their acne cleared. During or after retinoid therapy, all patients underwent full-face dermabrasion. Postoperative healing was normal, and no significant complications were seen.
