The stigma of acne

J G Lowe. Br J Hosp Med. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

Acne is by no means confined to teenagers, and the tendency to regard it as trivial is at odds with the social and psychological effects that it engenders. Effective treatments are available and should be used to alleviate the suffering caused by this disease. Education of the general public and of future doctors is essential in order to remove the stigma of this common condition.
