In this article, the first coauthor, a young woman with acne vulgaris, shares her experience with the condition; she not only describes the clinical presentation and the eventual successful treatment of her acne, but also the emotional consequences that this skin disorder caused. The second coauthor, the patient's dermatologist, reviews some of the features of acne vulgaris: morphologic manifestations, pathogenesis, and treatment options. He also summarizes the patient's response to isotretinoin therapy. In addition, he reveals his subsequent enlightenment regarding the acne-related non-dermatologic effects that the patient experienced and the significant improvement of her self-image that occurred following the successful treatment of her acne.
