Zusammenfassung

Die Akne im Kindesalter umfasst klinische Erscheinungsformen, die von Geburt an, in den ersten Lebenswochen oder nach dem 3.–6. Lebensmonat auftreten. Sie ist physiologisch oder pathologisch und bedarf dann einer endokrinologischen Abklärung und Therapie. In manchen Fällen ist sie durch Arzneimittel oder Pflegemittel induziert oder auch Ausdruck einer Intoxikation. Schwere Verläufe mit Neigung zur Vernarbung sind bereits im Kindesalter möglich. Die Akne im Kindesalter kann persistieren und in eine juvenile Akne übergehen. Sie stellt offenbar einen Risikofaktor für die Entwicklung einer schweren Akne in der Pubertät dar.

Abstract

Childhood acne has different clinical expressions which may be present from birth or manifest within the first weeks of life or after the third to sixth month of life. The condition may occur as a physiological phenomenon or may be pathological and require endocrinologic evaluation and treatment. It may be induced by drugs or ointments or due to intoxication. Severe courses with a tendency to scarring in childhood may be observed. Childhood acne may persist and develop into juvenile acne. It is likely that childhood acne may represent a risk factor for the development of severe acne in puberty.
