Abstract
Many safe and effective treatments are available to the acne sufferer. The clinician is encouraged to offer treatment to the adolescent with a face full of pimples, even if not asked for by the patient, as psychosocial underpinnings may be present but not obvious on examination. Obvious physical benefits will result, but psychosocial improvements also may occur.
