| Abstract | From the Department of Dermatology, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center, New York, New York; Beth Israel Medical Center, New York; and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York. The author reports no conflict of interest. Reality is a 2-way street in acne therapy. Chronicity of illness—a 14-year-old boy who presents with acne that may sustain for a decade or a woman with acne and no end in sight—should play a central role in patient education. We should set realistic goals for our patients by informing them of the chronicity of illness, the slow onset of therapeutic results, and the need for months of therapy before complete clearance in many cases.6 By not trivializing disease, dermatologists may gain more respect from patients who often are unhappy with primary care physician interactions on skin disease.7 |
