Article Synopsis
- Acne vulgaris is a chronic skin condition characterized by various forms of acne such as comedones and pustules, which significantly impacts the quality of life, especially among younger individuals.
- Current treatment strategies involve a systematic approach that adapts to the severity of the acne, with topical agents like retinoids and benzoyl peroxide preferred for mild to moderate cases, while oral options are reserved for more severe conditions.
- This study aims to compare the effectiveness of topical 4% benzoyl peroxide and 0.1% adapalene for treating acne vulgaris in patients with skin of color, emphasizing the need for more tailored treatment options in this neglected population.
