Abstract
Hoy en día, la apariencia física supone un factor muy importante en nuestra sociedad. Las personas cada vez se preocupan más por su aspecto. Sin embargo, existen algunas patologías que pueden causar un efecto negativo en esta apariencia física, derivando en un posible daño en la salud psíquica del paciente y, por ello, una disminución de su calidad de vida. El acné es una patología que afecta a la piel, centrándose más comúnmente en las áreas de la cara, los brazos y la espalda. Se trata de una enfermedad que altera el aspecto de la piel pudiendo generar, ocasionalmente, ansiedad, depresión y otras afecciones psicológicas de distinta gravedad en el paciente. Al encontrarnos en una sociedad tan preocupada por el aspecto físico resulta importante encontrar algún medicamento eficaz para el tratamiento y la eliminación del acné. Existen varios tratamientos que tienen diversas formas de presentación: tópicos, como lociones y cremas para regular o controlar la generación de sebo por parte de los poros de la piel; y otros tratamientos por vía oral (antibióticos, derivados de la vitamina A). Dependiendo de la gravedad de la patología, se utilizarán unos u otros. En este trabajo vamos a hablar del uso de las isotretinoínas en el acné (leve, severo, moderado, juvenil, etc) y de sus efectos adversos, puesto que es uno de los tratamientos más eficaces en la eliminación del acné. Sin embargo tiene muchos inconvenientes que hay que tener en cuenta a la hora de prescribir este tipo de tratamiento. También hablaremos de algunas de las novedades terapéuticas que pueden ser útiles en este tipo de patologías.
Today, physical appearance is a very important factor in our society. People are very concerned about their appearance. However, there are some conditions that can generate a negative effect on the physical appearance, which is disadvantageous in the mental health of the patient and, therefore, a decrease in quality of life. Acne is a disease that affects the skin, usually in the areas of the face, arms and back. It is a disease that affects the appearance of the skin, which can cause anxiety, depression and other serious psychological disorders in the patient. We are in a society overly concerned about appearance, so it is important to find a cure or effective treatment to eradicate acne. There are several treatments with different presentations: topical lotions and creams as to regulate or control the generation of - 3 - sebum by the pores of the skin and oral medications (antibiotics, derivatives of vitamin A). Depending on the severity of the disease, one or the other will be used. In this work we will discuss the use of isotretinoins in acne (mild, severe, moderate, youth, etc.) and its adverse effects, since it is one of the most effective treatments in removing acne. However it has many disadvantages to take into account when prescribing this type of treatment. We also discuss some of the new therapies that may be useful in this type of pathology.
