Aims: To determine the incidence of tinea capitis in adults in our area, as well as the predisposing factors (gender, immunity), and causative species.

Adherence to drug treatments and adjuvant barrier repair therapies are key factors for clinical improvement in mild to moderate acne: the ACTUO observational prospective multicenter cohort trial in 643 patients.

Background: In acne, several studies report a poor adherence to treatments. We evaluate, in a real-life setting conditions, the impact of compliance to physician's instructions, recommendations and adherence to the treatments on clinical outcome in patients with mild to moderate acne in an observational, non-interventional prospective study carried out in 72 Dermatologic Services in Spain (ACTUO Trial).

Methods: Six-hundred-forty-three subjects were enrolled and 566 patients (88 %) completed the 3 study visits.
