Review
Acne is an ubiquitous problem of adolescence. Currently available medications have improved the effectiveness of therapy. Pediatricians should be able to manage most of their patients with acne without referral to dermatologists. The exact pathogenesis of this disorder is not known, but a working hypothesis encompassing the factors involved allows a more rational approach to therapy. Successful treatment not only requires familiarity with the various types of acne lesions and the medications of choice, but an ability to recruit the patient into a partnership of therapy. The more the patient understands about the disorder the better the compliance and chances for success.

Review
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.

INTRODUCTION
Acne vulgaris is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide with a considerably high cost and a burden on quality of life. There are currently many topical and systemic therapies for acne; however, many are limited by their local adverse event profile. This review provides an update on current, novel Phase I and II trials for acne vulgaris.
AREAS COVERED
This review searched the National Institutes of Health US National Library of Medicine online database of clinical trials (ClinicalTrials.gov) for ongoing Phase I and II trials. Only papers discussing novel therapies were discussed, and combinations of previously FDA-approved drugs were excluded.
EXPERT OPINION
The current investigational approaches to acne treatment reflect an attempt to mitigate the underlying cause of acne pathogenesis. By targeting key mechanisms involved, studies aim to show long-term improvement with less frequent treatment use. This provides potential for more tolerable treatments with better patient adherence, in turn leading to increased efficacy.

BACKGROUND
Acne vulgaris is one of the most prevalent skin conditions, which harms not only the patients' physiological conditions, but also their mental health. Early diagnosis and accurate continuous self-monitoring could help control and alleviate their discomfort.
OBJECTIVE
We focus on the development and comparison of deep learning models for locating acne lesions on facial images, thus making estimations on the acne severity on faces via medical criterion.
METHODS
Different from most existing literature on facial acne analysis, the considered models in this study are object detection models with convolutional neural network (CNN) as backbone and has better interpretability. Thus, they produce more credible results of acne detection and facial acne severity evaluation.
RESULTS
Experiments with real data validate the effectiveness of these models. The highest mean average precision (mAP) is 0.536 on an open source dataset. Corresponding error of acne lesion counting can be as low as 0.43 ± 6.65 on this dataset.
CONCLUSIONS
The presented models have been released to public via deployed as a freely accessible WeChat applet service, which provides continuous out-of-hospital self-monitoring to patients. This also aids the dermatologists to track the progress of this disease and to assess the effectiveness of treatment.

Review
Acne vulgaris is a disorder of the sebaceous follicle. The cause is multifactorial, and both adolescents and adults can be affected. Acne is associated with a significant financial burden and considerable psychological distress. Treatment options are reviewed, including over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, and in-office procedures.

Review
Psychologic factors may play a significant role in acne in at least three ways. First, as many patients readily report, emotional stress can exacerbate acne. Second, it is common for patients to develop psychiatric problems as a consequence of the conditions, such as those related to low self-esteem, social phobias, or depression. Finally, primary psychiatric illnesses such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and psychosis may be based on a complaint that is focused on acne. In this review we hope to facilitate an understanding of how emotional factors and acne connect, and aid the dermatologist in identifying the possible presence of psychiatric problems stemming from or contributing to the disorder.
