Acne

Acne is a common skin condition, particularly for teenagers and young adults.
 

Research overview

Acne vulgaris (better known as just acne) affects most people at some point during their lifetime. It is common during teenage years, but often affects adults into their 40’s.

Acne of all severities can affect a person’s quality of life and well-being, but acne scarring is permanent and has a significant effect on psychological health.

Although acne is a common skin condition, well conducted research studies into new and existing treatments for active acne and acne scarring are lacking. We aim to address this need through the projects listed below.

Ongoing projects

 - A research study looking at different ways of dosing a tablet drug for severe acne called isotretinoin.

 - Online support study which aims to create and test an online toolkit to support young people to effectively treat their acne.
