    Author: Duvauchelle SA.
    Journal: Clin Excell Nurse Pract; 1999 May; 3(3):141-8. PubMed ID: 10646407.
    Abstract:
    Managed care has encouraged primary care providers to expand their management capabilities to include those diseases traditionally referred to specialists. Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder that makes up 20% of a dermatology practice. Acne can have significant psychosocial ramifications that may improve with treatment. Most acne patients have a mild to moderate grade of acne that can be successfully treated with topical therapy. Tools are provided for the diagnosis and assessment of acne, and a practical approach to treatment is offered.
