Table III.

Recommendations to consider for the management of patients with a high burden of disease, based on consensus

Considerations
• Frequency of follow-up (15/17), involvement of other practitioners as deemed appropriate (eg, psychiatrist, primary care physician) (15/17), treatments with a faster onset of action (14/17), and mitigation of risk factors for sequelae (13/17) • A more rapid escalation in treatment (16/17) • Combination therapy (ie, consisting of 2 different topical treatments or a topical and oral treatment) that allows targeting of multiple pathways in acne pathophysiology
