Clascoterone cream treats acne vulgaris. DermNet says it is a first-in-class topical androgen receptor inhibitor indicated for that use in patients aged 12 years and older.
How it is applied
DermNet says it should be applied as a thin, uniform layer to the area affected by acne, rather than just individual spots, twice daily, in the morning and evening.
Acne scar and treatment-field reading
The AAD has a page on acne scars, consultation and treatment. A review titled Exploring Acne Treatments: From Pathophysiological Mechanisms to Emerging Therapies covers the wider treatment field.
Checking whether the cream fits you
Ask a prescriber whether your acne fits that description. Age matters here, since the age line is 12 years and older.
When age or acne type moves the answer
The answer changes with age and with the type of acne. A prescriber is the one to confirm whether this cream suits you at any point in your treatment course.
