Abstract
Acne fulminans (AF) is a rare and severe form of acne that occurs almost exclusively in white adolescent boys. We report AF in a 16-year-old white boy developing 14 months after the onset of uncomplicated acne vulgaris. The symptomatology, etiology, treatment, and prognosis of AF are discussed.Keywords
