摘　　要：The prevalence rate of acne in China is continuously increasing in adolescents, young and middle-aged adults. In many cases, those who have refractory inflammatory papules and pustules on the face and mandibular have received long-term antibiotic therapy. Some severe cases have had isotretinoin treatment and even corficosteroid application by either topical or oral administration. The curative effect has not been prominent in these cases, even with combined treatment including antimicrobials and/or isotretinoin and Chinese patent medicines.The prevalence rate of acne in China is continuously increasing in adolescents, young and middle-aged adults.
