PENAYO AGUILERA, Teresita De Jesús et al. Fulminant acne in a patient from a native town of Paraguay. Rev. Nac. (Itauguá) [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.2, pp.170-175. ISSN 2072-8174. https://doi.org/10.18004/rdn2024.may.02.170.175.
Introduction:
acne vulgaris is a common skin disease with a great impact on quality of life. Acne fulminans is a rare and severe variant of inflammatory acne. Very few cases of acne in ethnic people are described in the literature. We present the case of a 13-year-old girl, originally from an ethnic town in Paraguay, in whom a severe presentation of inflammatory acne, acne fulminans, was observed. Antibiotic treatment associated with prednisone was carried out, the patient abandoned follow-up and therefore the recommended treatment of Isotretinoin was not started. Conclusions: the case presented in particular corresponds to a severe form of acne in a population with low reports of this disease. We consider the study of the factors involved in the development of the disease to be important.
