- infantile-pathogenesis-outcome
- Assertion
- Gencler and colleagues describe infantile acne as occurring between 1 and 12 months of age (occasionally up to 14 to 16 months), more common in males, and attribute it to sensitivity to circulating adrenal and gonadal androgens with a significant genetic predisposition; they report that lesions disappear after one to two years in some patients but usually persist, with most recovering after age four to five.
- Quote
While the lesions disappear after one to two years in certain patients, they usually persist and most recover after age four to five years.
