The article is devoted to an urgent problem among adolescents acne, which significantly affects both the physical condition of the skin and psycho-emotional health. The paper discusses the physiological causes of acne, symptoms, and areas of localization of the disease, as well as its impact on self-esteem, social adaptation, and quality of life of adolescents.

Particular attention is paid to the comparative characterization of the psychological adaptation of adolescents and adults to standard acne treatments. Adolescents demonstrate greater vulnerability of the nervous system and emotional instability, which complicates the perception of therapy. Compared to adults, adolescents are more likely to need additional explanations about the importance of treatment, as well as psychotherapeutic support to increase motivation and reduce stress. Adult patients, due to their emotional resilience, adapt to therapy more quickly and more easily accept temporary side effects. The proposed interdisciplinary approach to treatment includes the cooperation of a dermatologist, cosmetologist, and psychologist, where the dermatologist develops an individualized medication regimen, the cosmetologist provides skin care, and the psychologist provides emotional support aimed at reducing stress, increasing self-esteem and forming a positive attitude towards therapy.

It is important to introduce treatment methods in stages, including initial psychological and cosmetic preparation, which reduces the risk of side effects and increases patient motivation. This approach not only helps to eliminate acne symptoms, but also stabilizes the psychological state, which significantly improves the quality of life of adolescents and guarantees a long-term result. The introduction of an integrated approach into clinical practice is an effective means of combating acne, especially for the category of adolescents who need more attention to the emotional component of therapy.
