Abstract:
Acne scar (AS) is an entity whose psychological context can be even more important and aggressive to be treated that the skin’s scar per se. Social stigmas of severe acne can, though, generate a potential impairment of mental health, social functioning, and overall well-being. Even if with all advances in cosmetic dermatology, AS is still a common problem. However, why do some patients with severe-inflammatory acne lesions don’t have AS, whereas others with mild-inflammatory pattern do? In this lecture, the speaker will explore the pathological pathways that contribute to make some patients to be more prone to develop AS than others.
