SideEffects
Irritation,erythema, anddrynessinitiallycanoccurwithfirsttimeuse.Alternatingdayswheninitiating therapycanberecommended.
SpecialConsiderations
Thisagentisamilder,lessirritatingtopicalthanmostBPOpreparations.Itsusealongwithamoisturizer priortoapplicationpreventsoverdryingandirritation.
Dapsone
MechanismofAction
Drugproperties ofdapsone(Aczone)include bothantiinflammatoryandantibacterialactivity, although theexactmechanismofactionisnotwellunderstood.
Dosage
Dapsoneisappliedoncedailywithotheracneagentsortwicedailyasasingleagent.Itisadministrated tobothadolescentsandmiddle-agedfemales.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivitytoanyingredientshasbeennoted.
SideEffects
A rare but potentially lethal side effect is methemogloinemia. This condition results in an abnormal productionofredbloodcellprotein,whichdeliversoxygenthroughoutthebody.
SpecialConsiderations
Cautionmustbe exercised when using dapsonewith topical BPOproductsdue to theformationof an orange-browndiscoloration.Thisiseasilywipedawaybutmaybeconcerninginitially.Oraldapsonehas been indicated in dose-related hemolysis in patients with a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
TopicalAntibiotics
Topical antibiotics may be prescribed when comedolytic antibacterials are either not effective or not toleratedandsystemicantibioticsarenotdesired.TopicalantibioticsinhibitthegrowthofC.acnes and decreasethenumberof comedones, papules, andpustules. Clindamycin1% (Clindagel)issupplied in solutions, saturated pads, lotions, and gels. Rarely, topical clindamycin has been implicated in pseudomembranouscolitisandregionalenteritis. Thepractitionershouldadvisepatientstodiscontinue
therapy if diarrheadevelops. Toavoidresistanceand toimproveresults, thepractitioner maysuggest washing with BPO and then applying clindamycin. The combination of BPO and clindamycin used together has been shown to prevent drug resistance and improve results. Now a novel topical foam minocycline4%(Amzeeq)formulationisavailablebyprescriptionandappliedoncedaily.
OralAntibiotics
MechanismofAction
Whenimprovement cannot be achieved withtopical therapy,oral antibioticsmaybeconsidered. Oral antibiotics are indicated for inflammatory acne because they suppress C. acnes, as well as inhibit bacteriallipases,neutrophilchemotaxis,andfollicularplugging.
Tetracycline
Althoughtetracyclineisrarelyusedfirstlineduetogastrointestinal(GI)upset,itsderivativesdoxycyline andminocyclineareusedfor treatinginflammatoryacne.Newerweight-based once-dailyformulations minocycline(Ximino)areavailable,aswellasasmall-to-swallowdoxycycline(Targadox),providinga widerangeofoptions.
Dosage
Doxycyclineandminocylinedosesareadministeredat50,75,100,and200mg/dandaretaperedto100 mg/d after improvement occurs. Clinical improvement takes at least 3 to 4 weeks. Ximino, brand minocycline, is available as 45, 90, and 135 mg tablets taken once daily as weight-based options. Targadoxisavailablein50-mgtablets.
Contraindications
Thecontraindicationnotedishypersensitivitytoproductscontainingtetracyclineanditsby-products.
SideEffects
Thesideeffectsofthetetracyclineclassincludephotosensitivity,gastricirritation,blooddyscrasias,and pseudotumorcerebri(benignintracranialhypertension).Cautionshouldbeexercisedintreatingpatients whohaverenalfailureorwhoareconcurrentlytakingdigoxinbecausetetracyclinemayincreaseserum digoxinlevels.
SpecialConsiderations
Tetracyclinepermanentlystainstheteethinchildren,soitshouldnotbeprescribedforpatientsyounger than12 years ofage.Moreover,thedrugisa teratogen.Itmayalsodecrease theeffectiveness oforal contraceptives. Therefore, caution should be exercised when prescribing it for sexually active female patients.Patienteducationshouldincludedirectionstoavoidconcurrentingestionofdairyproducts,iron
preparations, and antacids which decrease absorption. Ideally, the medication should be taken on an emptystomach.
Sun protection should be encouraged due to sun sensitivity. Long-term use of these agents is not recommendedduetodrugresistance.Changeoftherapytooralisotretinoinifnotimprovedafter three monthsoforalantibiotictherapyshouldbeconsidered.Difficult-to-treatacnemayalsorespondtoother lessoftenusedantibioticsincludingbutnotlimitedtocephalexin(Keflex)orsulfamethoxazole/trimetho­prim(BactrimDS)whenotheragentshavenotdemonstratedimprovement.
Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole
Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole has been used successfully in patients with acne refractory to other antibioticsandingram-negativeacne.
OtherSystemicDrugs
Sarecycline(Seysara)
Dosage
Sarecycline (Seysara) was approved in 2018 and is available as 50-mg tablets. This tertracycline­derivedantibioticiseffectiveformoderatetosevereacnevulgaris.
Erythromycin
Erythromycinanditsderivativesarealternativeswhentetracyclinefailsorisnottolerated.Theycanalso be used when the patient is younger than age 12. A common side effect is GI upset. There are drug interactionswithdigoxin,theophylline,andcyclosporine.
Dosage
Availableindosesof250,333,500,and1,000mg/d,erythromycincanbeaseffectiveastetracycline.It ishelpfulintreatingthoseindividualswithtetracyclineallergy.
OtherSystemicDrugs
RetinoicAcidDerivatives:Isotretinoin
MechanismofAction
Isotretinoin (formerly Accutane, now Absorica) has changed the management of acne therapy. It is reservedforpatientswithseverenodulocysticacnewhenothertreatmentshavefailed.Isotretinoinisa retinoic acid derivative. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, it decreases sebum production, follicularobstruction,andthenumberofskinbacteria.Italsohasanantiinflammatoryaction.
Dosage
Isotretinoinisgivenatadoseof0.5to1mg/kg/d.Therapycontinuesfor20to24weeks.Iftherapyneeds toberepeated,6monthsshouldelapsebeforerestartingthedrug.Isotretinoinisavailablein10-,20-,and 40-mgcapsulesusuallytwicedaily.
Contraindications
Becauseisotretinoinisassociatedwithseriousbirthdefects,onlyprescribers registeredintheiPledge programmayprescribe thedrug.Thisprogramwasestablishedto preventpregnancyfor thecourse of therapy and 1 month after. Female patients are required to consent to pregnancy prevention and/or contraceptionwhileondrugtherapy.
AdverseEvents
The most significant adverse effect of isotretinoin is teratogenicity. A 25-fold increase in fetal abnormalitieshasbeendocumented.Evenwithoutexternalabnormalities,approximately50%ofchildren exposedtoisotretinoininutero hadsubnormalintelligence.Approximately25% ofpatientsexperience cholesterolandtriglycerideelevations.
SpecialConsiderations
Itisrecommendedthatthisdrugbeprescribedbyadermatologist.Twonegativepregnancytests1month apartpriortoinitiationofthedrugarerequired.RegistrationwiththeiPledgeprogramismandatory,and monthlypregnancyscreeningshouldbeperformedwhileonthisdrug.Obtainingmonthlypregnancytests duringtherapyismandatoryforallfemalepatientsofchildbearingpotential.
Beforeinitiatingtherapy,baselineCBC,chemistryprofile,fastingtriglyceride,andcholesterollevels shouldbeobtained.Inaddition,arepeatCBCandachemistryprofile shouldthenbeobtained1month afterthestartoftherapyandaftereachdosageadjustment.Pregnancyshouldbeavoidedatleast1month after therapy is discontinued. Pseudotumor cerebri has been reported when isotretinoin therapy is combined with oral antibiotics, that is, tetracycline. Almost all patients report dry skin and mucous membranes,includingcheilitis,severedryskin,anddifficultywearingcontactlenses.Othersideeffects includemusculoskeletalachesandcornealopacities.Therapyshouldnotbeinitiatedinadolescentswho havenotcompletedgrowingduetoconcernregardingprematureclosureoftheepiphyses.
Ablackboxwarningwasaddedin2002,warningofanincreaseinaggressiveorviolentbehaviorsin patients;consentisrequiredthroughtheiPledgeagreementforallpatients(maleandfemale)regarding depressivesymptoms.
OtherMedications
TopicalCombinations
MarketedasBenzamycin,thecombinationoferythromycin3%andbenzoylperoxide5%ingelbasemay increase compliance when a topical antibiotic is needed in addition to one or more other topical medications.Thegelisapplied onceor twice daily. Althoughtheproductrequires refrigeration,small
quantitiesmaybetransferredtoanothercontainerforupto10days,whichtendstopromotetherapeutic adherence.
Similarly,acombinationofclindamycin1%andBPO5%gel(BenzaClinGel,DuacGel)isavailable. UnlikeBenzamycin,theseproductshaveashelflifeof3monthsatroomtemperatureanddonotrequire refrigeration.Additionally, newer topicalagentsareavailable withvaryingpercentagesofeachactive agent. This allows for increased use in different skin types, especially those with more sensitive complexion.Clindamycin1.2%/Tretinoin0.25% (Veltin,Ziana),Adapalene0.1%/BPO2.5%(Epiduo), and Adapalene 0.3%/BPO 2.5% (Epiduo forte) are just a few of the options now available. Other benefitstousingcombinationproductsincludereducingsideeffectsandpreventingdrugresistancewith theindividualproducts.
HormonalTherapy
Oralcontraceptivescanbeusedinwomenwhenconventionaltopicalandsystemictherapieshavefailed. This will be discussedinChapter55. Oral contraceptives thatcontainethinylestradiol,levonorgestrel, andnorgestimateordrospirenoneareeffectiveinthetreatmentofacne.Someotheroral contraceptives mayexacerbateacne.Relativetoothertherapies,oralcontraceptivesareinexpensive.Theyreduceboth come-donal andinflammatoryacnes and are worthconsidering for women who are alreadytaking or consideringtakingsystemiccontraceptives.
Spironolactone
MechanismofAction
Originally marketed to treat hypertension, spironolactone (Aldactone) is a potassium-sparing weak diureticandandrogenblocker. It is areliable optionfor treatmentinadultwomenwithcyclicpainful hormonalacne,particularlyatthejawline.Long-termeffectivenessandtolerabilityhaveproventhisagent tobeareliableandsafeoption.Althoughnolongerrequired,annuallaboratorymonitoringforpotassium levelsmaybeperformed.Educationregardingconcernsfor hyperkalemia shouldbe discussed priorto therapy.Pregnancypreventionisimportantwhileusingthisdrugtherapy.Usually,improvementisevident within3monthsofuse.
Dosage
Startingdosagecanbe25to50mgandthencanbeincreasedifnecessarytomaximum200mg/d.Long­termusehasproveneffectiveinmanagingadultfemaleacne.
SideEffects
GIupsetmaybeexperiencedinadditiontodrymouthanddizziness.Gynecomastiaandirregularmenses havealsobeenreportedaspossiblesideeffects.
SelectingtheMostAppropriateAgent
Themostimportantconsiderationinselectingatherapeuticregimenismatchingtheseverityoftheacneto theappropriatepharmacologicagent(Figure15.1andTable15.4).
First-LineTherapy
Thefirstlineoftherapyforcomedonalacneistopicalmedication.Topicalcomedolyticsencouragefaster turnover of the surface skin. The addition of bacteriocidal or topical antibiotics enhances results for patientswithclosedcomedonesandpustules.

childbearingage
Second-LineTherapy
Patientswhoseacnedoesnotrespondtotopicaltherapymayneedoralmedications.Thepractitionermay initiatetreatment withoralantibiotics inadditionto topical medications for more severepapulocystic acne.Oralcontraceptivesareausefulandcost-effectivealternativeforsexuallyactivewomen.
Third-LineTherapy
Isotretinoinisreservedforthemostsevereformsofnodulocysticacne.Specialcaremustbetakenwhen prescribingthisagentforwomenwhocanbecomepregnant.Practitionerswhoarenotregisteredinthe iPledge program or who cannot comply with the necessary monitoring and follow-up may feel more comfortablereferringthepatienttoanindividualwhois,forevaluationandtreatment.
SPECIALPOPULATIONCONSIDERATIONS
Pediatric
Because of the risk of dental enamel defects and bone growth retardation, the use of tetracycline is contraindicatedinchildrenyounger thanage12. Growthretardationinchildrenwhohave notreached adultheightisassociatedwithisotretinoinuse.Childrenmayalsoexperienceincreasedarthralgias and backpainwiththeuseofisotretinoin.
WomenofChildbearingAge
Women of childbearing age who are using isotretinoin or tazarotene gel must not become pregnant becauseoftheteratogenicityofbothproducts.Practitionersmaysuggestthatalong-actingcontraceptive, such as Depo-Provera, be used. If pregnancy occurs, the patient must be counseled accordingly. Tetracycline,alsoconsideredteratogenic,maydecreasetheeffectivenessoforalcontraceptives.Women takingthisantibioticshouldrelyonalong-actingcontraceptiveorabarriermethodtopreventpregnancy. Topicalretinoicacidisnotrecommendedforuseinpregnantwomenornursingmothers.
Ethnic
Azelaicacidmaycausehypopigmentationinpatientswithdarkskin.
MONITORINGPATIENTRESPONSE
Follow-upshouldbescheduledmonthlytomonitorthepatient’sresponsetotherapy,providereassurance, andencourageadherenceto therapy. Monthlyvisits provide the opportunity to adjustmedicationsand dosagesasthepatient’sacnerespondstotreatment.Theidealmanagementislong-termtopicaltherapy.If isotretinoinisprescribed,laboratorytestsshouldbeobtainedbeforetherapyand1monthintotherapy,as describedpreviously.
PATIENTEDUCATION
DrugInformation
Thepractitionermayshowthepatienthowtoapplytopicalpreparationscorrectlytopreventexcessive irritation (Box 15.1). An important consideration in prescribing topical therapyis thatmany gels and solutionscontainsignificantamountsofalcohol.Ifapatientissensitivetoalcohol-basedpreparationsor isexperiencingsignificantdrynessdespitelowconcentrationsofactiveingredients,thepractitionermay consider switching to a preparation thatdoes not containalcohol, such as a creamor aqueousgel or lotion.
Box15.1 GeneralPrinciplesforApplyingTopicalAcnePreparations
  Initiate therapy with a lower concentration of active ingredient and then work up to a higher
concentrationastolerated.
Chooseaproductwithalowerpercentageofalcoholforpeoplewithsensitiveskin.
Applytheproducttoclean,dryskin.Allowatleast20minutestoelapsebetweenwashingtheface
andapplyingthemedication.
Usethesmallestamountofmedicationnecessaryforcoverage.
Applyin“dots”overthedesiredareaandthengentlymassageintoskin.
Applyonedryingagentinthemorningandanotherintheeveningtoavoidexcessiveirritation.
Nutritionalfactorsmayplayanimportantroleinthepathogenesisofacne.Adietwithalowglycemic load, higherinproteinthancarbohydratesandfats,candecreaselesioncountsinacnevulgaris. Alow glycemic–load diethasalso beenassociated witha reduction incalorie intake,body mass index,and insulin resistance. Improved insulin sensitivity leads to a decrease in androgen production and a concordantimprovementinthesymptomsofacnevulgaris.
Patientsshouldbecautionedtoavoidusingexcessiveamountsoftopicalmedicationsinthehopethatit will speed improvement. Instead, irritation will most likely be the result, and that may discourage continuationoftherapy.
Patienceisthekeytoresolutionofacne.Adolescentslookingforaquickcuremaybedisappointed,so thepractitionershoulddiscussrealisticexpectationsforimprovementwiththepatient.Allformsofacne therapyrequireaminimumof4to6weeksbeforeresultsareseen.Itisimportanttoprovideappropriate follow-upandencouragementandtohavethepatientreturnforevaluationandrefinementofthetreatment program.
Patient-OrientedInformationSources
TheWebsiteswww.acne.organdwww.nih.gov/medlineplus/acne.html(asitefromtheNationalInstitutes ofHealth)provideinformationaboutacneandtreatment.
COMPLEMENTARYANDALTERNATIVEMEDICINE
Zincisinvolved inthemaintenance ofskinhealthandimmunefunction,local hormoneactivation,and production of retinol-binding protein. It has shown some bacteriostatic action against C. acnes and inhibitoryactionontheproductionofretinol-bindingprotein.
Anotherproductthathasbeenshowntoimproveacneseverityisteatreeoil.Ithaslessskinirritation thanbenzoylperoxide.Asolutionof5%to15%isappliedoncedaily.
Witchhazelisinexpensiveandlessdryingthanalcoholandcanbeusedasatonerforthoseindividuals with oily skin. Nicotinamide is a member of the vitamin B group. More specifically, a form of B
3 complexisavailableina4%topicalcreamoranoraldietarysupplement.Nicomideisagenericvitamin that includes zinc, copper, and folic acid taken once or twice daily. It is believed to decrease inflammationintheskinwhichsubsequentlyreducesacnelesions.
ROSACEA
Occasionallymistakenforacnevulgaris,rosaceais anacneiformdisorder thatbegins inmidlife(ages 30–50).Itisestimatedthatrosaceaaffectsover16millionpeoplebytheNationalRosaceaSociety.The rashissymmetricandlimitedtothecentralpartoftheface.Fair-skinnedpeoplewithatendencytoblush aremoreoftenaffected.Althoughrosaceaismorelikelytodevelopinwomen,menwhoareaffectedmay haveamoresevereformofthedisorder.Rosaceaisnotfrequentlyseeninskinofcolorbutdoesoccur.
CAUSES
Rosaceadoes nothaveaclearcause.Varioustheoriessuggestbacterialinfection,fungalinfection,mite (Demodex folliculorum) infestation, menopausal changes, and more recently Helicobacter pylori infection.Sunexposure,heat,excessivewashing,andirritatingcosmeticsmayexacerbaterosaceaalong withothertriggerssuchasalcohol,hormones,stress,andspicyfoods.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Early vascular rosacea consists of simple erythema in response to cold exposure. Extravascular fluid accumulates.Asaresult,bloodflowtothesuperficialdermisincreases.Persistenttelangiectasiaoccurs lateinthevascularstageofthedisorder.Duringthisperiod,ocularinvolvementmaydevelop,consisting ofmild conjunctivitis, dryeyes,burning,blepharitis,andoccasionallykeratitis andcorneal ulceration. Thesecondstageofrosacearepresentslymphatic failure.Itresultsinepidermalepithelialhyperplasia andpilosebaceous gland hyperplasia with fibrosis, inflammation, and telangiectasia. Clinical changes include persistent erythema, telangectasia, papules, and pustules. Rhinophyma, the characteristic deep inflammation and connective tissue hypertrophy of the nose, may begin to develop during this stage. Rhinophymaisalmostexclusivelyseeninmenolderthanage40andistreatableonlybylaserorsurgery. Late-stage rosacea is recognized by persistent deep erythema, dense telangiectases, papules, pustules,
