SEVERE LATE-ONSET ACNE IN ADULTS: CLINICAL EVOLUTION UNDER SYSTEMIC THERAPY AND THE ROLE OF A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH

Abstract

Acne, one of the most common dermatological conditions, has a multifactorial pathogenesis and variable manifestations, requiring a complex therapeutic approach to prevent scarring and reduce psychosocial impact. This paper presents the case of a 28-year-old female patient with severe inflammatory acne of late onset, resistant to conventional therapies. An individualized systemic protocol, combined with dermato-cosmetic care and photoprotection, led to clinical improvement and a two-month absence of comedones. The patient is undergoing fractional laser therapy for residual scarring. This case underlines the importance of a personalized, multidisciplinary approach integrating medical treatment, psychological support, and aesthetic interventions to improve quality of life.
