A 22-year-old patient with acne conglobata on the face alone for 15 months. Previously treated with oral antibiotics and topical products (whose names the patient was unable to report), without improvement. Treatment with isotretinoin 20 mg/day (0.3 mg/kg/day) and prednisone 40, 30, 20, and 10 mg/day every seven days was initiated. The duration of treatment, always with the same daily dose, was 18 months (160 mg/kg), until complete resolution of the lesions. A maintenance treatment with benzoyl peroxide 5% was maintained for 12 months. There was no recurrence.
