Abstract

Acne is one of the most common dermatologic concerns in adolescents of all skin types. The incidence of pediatric acne is also increasing with early onsets of adrenarche, especially in certain ethnic groups. Notably, there are some vital differences in the presentation of acne in children and in patients with skin of color. Despite the increasing awareness of acne in skin of color, research in this population, especially in the pediatric age group, is still sparse. Most recommendations are based on expert opinion and small studies. The principles of acne treatment are the same within age groups and skin types, but creating age-appropriate treatment plans and managing the sequelae of acne, hyperpigmentation and scarring can be the most challenging in skin of color patients.
