There are four important pathogenetic factors in the pathogenesis of acne that are key therapeutic targets. In the review article, we present the clinical picture of acne and staged treatment, which has been summarised according to the European and American guidelines for the treatment of acne. We present the local and systemic treatment and other treatment methods, which should always be individually tailored to the patient and dependent on the severity of the disease, gender, age and associated diseases.
