In addition, they were interviewed about current and prior treatment use by showing them packages of available (non\u2010)prescription treatments of acne in Belgium.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Despite the high prevalence of acne, its treatments were used infrequently; 13% had used topicals and 5% systemic drugs. Among adolescents who used therapy, benzoylperoxide and oral antibiotics were most often used. Although the likelihood of having used treatment increased significantly for both number of retentional and inflammatory lesions (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0\u2264\u00a00.03), only a quarter of those with 20 or more papules and\/or pustules had used topical treatment, and 10% systemic therapy. Multivariate logistic regression models demonstrated that girls were about twice as likely to have used topical agents (adjusted OR\u00a0= 2.30 [95%CI\u00a0=\u00a01.37, 3.87]). Those with more inflammatory lesions on the face and with more extensive acne on the chest and back were about three times more likely to have used topical and\/or systemic acne therapy.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> Acne is very common among teenagers but very few have actually used treatments. These findings suggest that it may be worthwhile to better inform the community about acne and its treatment options to reduce acne severity and its impact on those affected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.01829.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,21]],"date-time":"2006-12-21T08:22:18Z","timestamp":1166689338000},"page":"163-168","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Acne is prevalent but use of its treatments is infrequent among adolescents from the general population"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"T","family":"Nijsten","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Rombouts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Lambert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1971.tb07195.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(92)70135-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(97)70307-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","first-page":"269","article-title":"The impact of acne: a study of adolescents\u2019 attitudes, perception and knowledge","volume":"111","author":"Pearl A","year":"1998","journal-title":"N Z Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.2001.04346.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1470.1991.tb00945.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","first-page":"U1018","article-title":"Acne prevalence in secondary school students and their perceived difficulty in accessing acne treatment","volume":"117","author":"Purvis D","year":"2004","journal-title":"N Z Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2003.618"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2000.110901"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2002.120469"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09546630310012037"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","first-page":"166","article-title":"Acne: evolution of the clinical practice and therapeutic management of acne between 1996 and 2000","volume":"13","author":"Dreno B","year":"2003","journal-title":"Eur J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","first-page":"S27","article-title":"The BEST study: results according to prior treatment","volume":"71","author":"Rodriguez D","year":"2003","journal-title":"Cutis"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"407","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1972.01620060049009","article-title":"Acne and acne care.
