I think topical retinoids play a crucial role in the management of acne.We know that retinoids normalize the keratinization process, which will control and even prevent further acne outbreaks for the long term.If a patient has comedonal acne alone, we will prescribe a topical retinoid as the main therapy and maybe add benzoyl peroxide.If a patient has inflammatory acne (with redness and pustules), we still start with a retinoid and add either a topical or oral antibiotic as needed.In cases of se...

Tanorexia and Indoor Tanning
The popular TV show "Jersey Shore" introduced the world to a way of living known as "GTL" -- gym, tan, laundry.
