cne excoriee occurs predominantly in females, who

remove even the smallest lesions on the skin. Appropriate

psychological support may help. Steroids, halogens, anti-

epileptic drugs, antituberculous drugs and others may produce

acneiform eruptions, which area usually monomorphic. The

causative drug should be stopped if possible. Appropriate

acne therapy is often successful. The term endocrine acne

should be reserved for cases of acne associated with Cushing’s

disease, late-onset congenital adrenogenital syndrome and

polycystic ovarian syndrome. In those cases, treatment

should focus the endocrinological problem. Cosmetic acne

usually occurs in the perioral area of adult females who have

used cosmetics for a long time. Patients should be warned

to switch to a non-comedogenic cosmetic and treated with

topical retinoids or benzoyl peroxide. Dissecting folliculitis and

hidradenitis suppurativa share with acne the follicular occlusion

triad and subsequent granulomatous response. A chronically

progressive inflammatory disease of the scalp in the first case

and a persistent disease that affects the axillae, breasts, genital

and perianal areas and buttocks in the latter are seen. Many

different treatments have been tried, such as topical and oral

antibiotics, oral isotretinoin, topical, intralesional and systemic

steroids, and surgical excision. Acne with solar comedones

(Favre-Racouchot syndrome), is characterized by multiple

comedones on a sun-damaged skin, usually symmetrically

affecting the periorbital areas and the cheeks. The lesions are

removed with a comedone expressor, and a topical retinoid to

suppress the formation future comedones may help.
