Abstract
Background

Acne is a chronic condition with inflammatory and non-inflammatory elements and scarring sequelae. Both adolescent and adult onsets have psychosocial impact and can greatly impair the quality of life. Several scales were developed to classify the acne severity, and variable algorithms are currently implemented for treatment; no consensus was reached on grading or treatment

Objective

A group of Egyptian dermatologists held this consensus meeting to identify a grading system that is accepted by the majority as well as the most appropriate treatment for each stage.

Results

Consensus was reached on several choices for each of the acne type and each of severity type as well as on maintenance protocols.

Conclusion

Acne management varies according to several factors in the practice of Egyptian dermatologists.
