Abstract:
A case of 30 years old male with acne conglobata was reported. The skin lesions were characterized by numerous papules, pustules, abscesses, discharging sinuses and resultant hypertrophic scars on the buttocks, back, face, chest, abdomen, neck, and the both extremities. Physical examination shows chronic tonsillitis, caries, and missing of the teeth, and periodontitis. Pus culture shows only coagulase negative Staphylococcus. He was treated with tetracycline, predlnisolone and vitamin B-complex for four weeks with favorable effect.
