Dermatologists prescribe lots of #antibiotics , 60% of which are used for #acne
Antibiotic use contributes to resistance as well as other harms such as breast cancer. It disrupts the microbiome.
Even though 50% of patients received antibiotics for acne, 75% of them would prefer a non-antibiotic therapy

We’ve busted some common #isotretinoin myths, but what about actual side effects of isotretinoin in the treatment of #acne. In this Tweetorial, we’ll review the most common side effects and how they can be managed. #dermtwitter #MedEd 1/16
The most commonly reported side-effect is mucocutaneous dryness. It is dose dependent, occurring in 75% of those treated with 0.25-0.5mg/kg/day and in nearly 100% treated with 1mg/kg/day. 2/16

This can manifest as dry lips, dry skin, and dry eyes. Frequent emollient use (e.g. Vaseline for the lips) can help manage this common side-effect. In addition, a small RCT found 1g/day omega-3 reduced mucocutaneous dryness. 3/16

With respect to current practices, as of 2016, over 40% of clinicians were checking CBCs, LFTs, and lipid panels monthly! And rates of monitoring do not appear to be decreasing over time. Is this optimal? 3/13

Isotretinoin can be a highly effective treatment for #acne and is the only acne treatment that can provide a lasting remission. However, there are many misconceptions about #isotretinoin. In this Tweetorial, let's bust some common isotretinoin myths! #dermtwitter 1/13
Myth #1 - Isotretinoin and depression: Multiple meta-analyses have found that there is no population level association between isotretinoin use and depression. In fact, isotretinoin may be associated with decreased depressive symptoms. 2/13

In addition, patients being treated with isotretinoin can expect an average of >50% improvement in quality of life by month 2 and a 4-fold to 5-fold improvement from baseline with a full course of isotretinoin. 3/13

Just out in @JAADjournals, interesting cohort study led by @ArielleNaglerMD evaluating whether there is an increased risk of suicidality among #acne patients treated with #isotretinoin. A quick thread 1/7

The authors conducted a cohort study evaluating the rate of psychiatric disorders and suicidality among 3 cohorts: those with acne treated with isotretinoin, those treated with antibiotics only, and those in the general population. 2/7
After adjusting for age and sex, they found that those treated with isotretinoin had increased odds of a psychiatric disorder (e.g. depression) but decreased odds of suicidality compared to those treated with antibiotics and those in the general population. 3/7

All of the above! Often, every one of these factors plays some role. What’s important is knowing what treatment to emphasize based on what factor seems to be the biggest influencer.
For example:
-Retinoids for cell turnover
-Ocps for hormones
-Antibiotics for bacteria!

Let’s talk exam. When I see an acne patient, I’m looking for what lesion I see most: comedones (white/blackheads), inflammatory papules, or cysts.
I’m also looking at distribution (where on the body) and the severity.
It’s critical to ask if it’s a good, typical, or bad day!
