Abstract
The adolescent acne is a dermatological disease that is often expressed through mild or
moderate symptoms. In these cases the Family Paediatrician (FP) can easily manage the
disease. There are few studies about the incidence of acne among Italian teenagers.
For this reason the study has been conducted using a questionnaire distributed to
438 FP. The aim of the present study is to test the knowledge of the disease and the assistance
status within the paediatric environment and also to be a reference for future
epidemiological studies and basics for further FP training and care protocols.
