To assess the effect of exercise-induced sweat on truncal acne, a prospective, single-blinded, randomized, controlled, institution review board-approved clinical trial was conducted on physically active males. Subjects were instructed to exercise long enough to break a sweat 5 days a week for 2 weeks. Group 1 did not exercise (n = 7), group 2 showered within 1 hour of exercise (n = 8), and group 3 waited at least 4 hours to shower after exercising (n = 8). No statistically significant differences in truncal acne were noted between (p = 0.84) nor within (p = 0.74 for group 1, 0.07 for group 2, and 0.09 for group 3) study groups at the end of the study period.

A Real-World Approach to Trifarotene Treatment in Patients with Acne and Acne Sequelae Based on the Experience of the Italian Acne Board.

Acne and acne sequelae can have an important impact on patients' quality of life, affecting interpersonal relationships and social functioning. Acne-induced scars (AIS) and acne-induced macular hyperpigmentation (AIH), in particular, are a major concern for patients with acne, as their management is challenging and often unsatisfactory. Retinoids are considered the mainstay of acne treatment because of their action on multiple pathogenetic factors, and there is increasing evidence that they can also improve AIS and AIH.

Acne vulgaris, caused by pathophysiological processes at the pilosebaceous unit, is among the most common chronic dermatological disorders. Acne sequelae, including scarring and dyspigmentation, are common, and are often more distressing to patients than active acne lesions, reinforcing the importance of prevention and effective treatment. Trifarotene, a novel fourth generation retinoid selective for retinoid acid receptor gamma, is approved for the management of moderate-to-severe facial and truncal acne, with recent data supporting its efficacy in acne-induced hyperpigmentation.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a lotion containing a biotechnological phytocomplex, niacinamide, and succinic acid in the bacterial diversity of subjects with truncal mild-moderate acne and its clinical benefits due to microbiota changes.
Materials And Methods: Open, clinical study in 43 subjects with truncal mild-moderate acne treated with a lotion for 8 weeks.
