CASE 4
A 12-year-old girl with mild preadolescent facial acne (Table 4). The case was selected to show that pediatric patients with 2 homes may struggle with compliance; samples may help to bridge the gap until both parents can acquire full-size products. The education, treatment, and maintenance were similar as shown in case 3. Treatment at first was not consistent because the patient traveled between 2 homes. After 2 weeks, the products were provided for both addresses, resulting in improved compliance. The enhanced compliance with treatment was sufficient to clear the acne substantially.

CASE 5
A 13-year-old girl with adolescent facial acne and acne on her
back (Table 5). The case is selected as an example of treatment
of acne in various body locations. Previously a cleanser and
moisturizer was used which was changed to a ceramidecontaining
BPO foaming cleanser and a facial moisturizing lotion
in the morning and the evening. Although the acne improved a
more aggressive regime was needed to clear it.
