    El acné es una de las afecciones cutáneas más comunes, afectando al 85% de los adolescentes y a una proporción considerable de adultos jóvenes. Aunque no pone en riesgo la vida, el acné puede tener un impacto significativo en la calidad de vida de los pacientes debido a sus efectos estéticos y psicológicos. En atención primaria, el manejo del acné debe enfocarse no solo en la mejora de los síntomas cutáneos, sino también en el bienestar emocional del paciente. Este artículo revisa las opciones terapéuticas actuales para el tratamiento del acné, desde tratamientos tópicos y sistémicos hasta terapias emergentes, y proporciona directrices para su manejo en el ámbito de la atención primaria.

    Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting 85% of adolescents and a significant proportion of young adults. Although it is not life-threatening, acne can have a profound impact on patients’ quality of life due to its aesthetic and psychological effects. In primary care, acne management should focus not only on improving skin symptoms but also on the patient’s emotional well-being. This article reviews current therapeutic options for the treatment of acne, ranging from topical and systemic treatments to emerging therapies, and provides guidelines for its management in the primary care setting.
