Acne vulgaris stands as a prevailing skin condition among adolescents worldwide.
The primary aim in addressing acne is to manage it effectively, preventing the occurrence of permanent scarring.
This case report outlines the experiences of two adolescent boys grappling with acne fulminans. Initial treatments encompassed isotretinoin, corticosteroids, and doxycycline, until they were discontinued due to their ineffectiveness and the emergence of adverse side effects such as headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Subsequently, fluorescent light energy (FLE) therapy was introduced to tackle these severe cases.
After 4 months of FLE therapy, the patients exhibited significant improvements in their condition. Six months post treatment initiation, both patients have sustained a symptom free state, marked by the absence of active lesions.
FLE therapy effectively treated the acne fulminans cases reported and could be considered as a valid treatment option.
寻常痤疮是全球青少年中普遍存在的皮肤疾病。
治疗痤疮的主要目标是有效控制病情，防止永久性瘢痕形成。
本病例报告概述了两名患有暴发性痤疮的青少年男性的经历。初始治疗包括异维A酸、皮质类固醇和多西环素，直至因无效及出现头痛、恶心和呕吐等不良反应而停药。随后引入荧光光能（FLE）疗法来治疗这些严重病例。
经过4个月的FLE治疗，患者病情有显著改善。治疗开始6个月后，两名患者均保持无症状状态，无活动性皮损。
FLE疗法有效治疗了所报告的暴发性痤疮病例，可被视为一种有效的治疗选择。
