IBANEZ FRANCO, Elvis Javier et al. Familial acne conglobata in indigenous population. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2025, vol.12, n.1, e12142503.  Epub 16-Ene-2025. ISSN 2312-3893.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2025.e12142503.

Acne conglobata is a severe form of acne that appears infrequently and may run in families. Timely treatment with specific therapy avoids sequelae such as scars and deformities that can occur with an erroneous or late diagnosis.

We present the cases of 2 twin brothers, from an ethnic group of native people of Paraguay, with onset of the disease at puberty, accompanied by other pathologies in the first case. Both received systemic treatment with antibiotics and retinoids, with good response until their second month of control.

Palabras clave : acne conglobata; isotretinoin; indigenous people..
