Claims
-
In a retrospective review of 29 infantile acne patients (24 boys, 5 girls) treated over 25 years, onset was between 6 and 16 months (median 9 months); severity was mild in 24%, moderate in 62% and severe in 14%; clearance took 6 to 40 months (median 18); and 17% were left with scarring.
-
Mild infantile acne was treated with topical benzoyl peroxide, erythromycin or retinoids; moderate cases received oral paediatric erythromycin 125 mg twice daily plus topical therapy; some patients with resistant bacteria needed trimethoprim; one patient received isotretinoin; tetracyclines were excluded in children.
