Article Synopsis
- Acne fulminans (AF) is a rare and severe skin disorder that causes painful nodules and ulcers, primarily affecting adolescent males with a history of acne.
- * The condition is often associated with isotretinoin therapy and high testosterone levels, but its exact cause is unknown. Standard treatments include corticosteroids and isotretinoin.
- * In a reported case, a 17-year-old male with AF did not respond to these treatments but improved significantly when treated with ustekinumab, allowing for a reduction in corticosteroids and an increase in isotretinoin dosage.*
