The New Acne Guidelines: What Zit All About? Albert C. Yan, MD, FAAP, FAAD Chief, SecBon of Pediatric Dermatology Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Dermatology Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Background: Why?
•  Acne is common in the pediatric and adolescent
age group
•  There are no acknowledged specific guidelines
or of care or expert recommendations for
management of acne in the pediatric age group
•  Acne presentations and differential diagnosis
differ at differing ages
The New Acne Guidelines: What Zit All About? As a result of a1ending my lecture, course a1endees will understand how the new AAP-­‐endorsed pediatric acne guidelines will impact the clinical management of acne in children and adolescents. Overview •  New acne guidelines? What new acne guidelines? •  Acne through the ages •  Acne pathophysiology in a nutshell •  Acne therapies and recipes •  Anything new on the horizon? How?
•  Unification of efforts from pediatric dermatologists,
dermatologists, pediatricians, the AARS and the
AANA (Acne Alliance of North America)
•  Chairs: Lawrence Eichenfield and Diane Thiboutot
•  Distinguished panel (acneologists, pediatric
dermatologists with acne expertise, pediatricians,
junior expert-reviewers)
•  Desire to increase recognition and improve
management of acne across the spectrum of
primary and specialty care

Clinical Tips: Benzoyl Peroxide (BP) •  Benzoyl peroxide helps to reduce anBbioBc resistance among P. acnes •  When using BP on the chest and back, a wash is usually preferable to a leave-­‐on product •  It is important to warm paBents and their families that benzoyl peroxide can bleach fabrics •  Higher concentraBons above a certain threshold (5-­‐6%) conBnue to increase irritancy but provide only modest boosts in efficacy AARS Pediatric Acne Guidelines (AAP Endorsed) Ease of use/regimen
complexity
Acne Rule #1 •  Always make benzoyl peroxide part of your regimen whenever paBents can tolerate it –  Reduces anBbioBc resistance Clinical Tips: Topical reKnoids •  Adapalene and treBnoin are less irritaBng than tazarotene •  CondiBoning period –  IniBal therapy every other night for 1-­‐2 weeks may help condiBon those with more sensiBve skin –  Short-­‐contact (30-­‐60 minutes) nightly may be a reasonable alternaBve for those with more sensiBve skin •  EscalaBons in topical reBnoid concentraBon can reasonably occur within 2-­‐4 weeks •  Remind paBents that they can moisturize ad lib when using reBnoids Topical Acne Treatment •  Benzoyl peroxide + something else •  Washes for face + chest + back •  If just treaBng face, leave-­‐on products can be more effecBve if somewhat more irritaBng •  What if you can’t tolerate benzoyl peroxide? •  Can subsBtute topical sodium sulfacetamide for sensiBve-­‐skin paBents StarKng Topical ReKnoid Treatment •  StarBng agents: –  Adapalene 0.1% loBon, cream, or gel –  TreBnoin 0.025% cream, 0.04% microgel •  Once condiBoned, can increase to next stage reBnoid –  Adapalene 0.3% gel –  TreBnoin 0.05% or 0.1% cream, 0.1% microgel –  Tazarotene 0.1% cream or gel 5 4/2/13 Some Reasonable Generic Regimens •  TreBnoin 0.025% cream or adapalene 0.1% gel •  Consider adding a benzoyl peroxide 5% wash during showers to control face, chest, and back areas Tips for Using ReKnoids with SensiKve Skin PaKents •  Adapalene 0.1% loBon (Differin) •  TreBnoin 0.04% microgel (ReBn-­‐A) •  Tazorac 0.1% short-­‐contact •  Short-­‐contact regimens may reduce irritaBon: –  Apply for one-­‐hour nightly –  Consider increasing to overnight therapy aoer toleraBng treatment for 1-­‐2 weeks; if needed Adolescent: Moderate Acne (Comedonal or Inflammatory/Mixed) Rule #2 •  You can use topical reBnoids successfully as long as you condiBon paBents to their use –  Short-­‐contact or every other day for the first 1-­‐2 weeks –  Gradually increase concentraBon at each visit unBl desired effect achieved and as long as paBents tolerate Initial Treatment

Clinical Tips: CombinaKon Therapy •  CombinaBon therapies involve using 2 or more acBve agents in concert on a daily basis to treat the condiBon –  Individual agents can be used separately –  Agents can be combined in stabilized preparaBons •  Separate agents need be separated in Bme to avoid inacBvaBon of other topicals (e.g., BP + reBnoid) dermatology referral.

4) 
Erythromycin Tetracycline Doxycycline Minocycline Clinical Tips: Oral anKbioKcs •  Erythromycin resistance is fairly high so in teens and young adults, tetracycline derivaBves are favored •  Tetracycline is taken on an empty stomach and given 2-­‐4 Bmes a day; doxycycline and minocycline may be more convenient and more effecBve opBons •  Consider subanBmicrobial dosing where appropriate (limited situaBons): doxycycline 20 mg BID or 40 mg once daily •  AnBcipate duraBon; possible adverse effects; be aware of the rare side effects –  Doxycycline: photosensiBvity –  Minocycline: hyperpigmentaBon, pseudotumor, lupus-­‐like reacBons, DRESS Rule #4 •  When using oral anBbioBcs for moderate to severe acne, I prefer: •  For kids > 8 yo Doxycycline > Minocycline > Tetracycline For the combinaSon of compliance and favorable side effect profile (but be careful about the sun in summer!)
