Abstract: 【Abstract】 According to the age of onset, childhood acne can be divided into neonatal acne, infantile acne, preschool acne, and prepubertal acne. Neonatal acne and infantile acne can serve as predictive factors for severe adolescent acne, preschool acne may be related to underlying endocrine diseases, and prepubertal acne is a sign of pubertal maturation. The treatment of childhood acne is similar to that of adolescent acne, and adverse effects of drugs and their impact on the growth and development of children should be considered.
