The basic morphology of acne--comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules--and the extent of involvement do not permit simple evaluation due to the number of variables involved. Because these acne lesions may vary in number during the natural course of the disease, various measurements have been developed, based on clinical examination and photographic documentation. These range from global assessments to lesion counting, with the latter providing more objective data.
痤疮的基本形态——粉刺、丘疹、脓疱和结节——以及受累范围由于涉及的变量数量众多而无法进行简单评估。由于这些痤疮病变在疾病的自然过程中数量可能会有所不同,因此基于临床检查和摄影记录开发了各种测量方法。这些方法从整体评估到病变计数不等,后者能提供更客观的数据。
