Abstract

Management of cystic fibrosis (CF) has improved. This leads to adolescents asking for treatment of benign disorders like acne. Anti-inflammatory therapy is not recommend due to possible induction of resistance to antibiotics. A 23-year old male CF patient with extensive acne and scarring was effectively treated with isotretinoin, leading to longterm remission. No severe side effects or setback of pulmonary symptoms were observed. Interestingly, a positive effect of isotretinoin on pulmonary function in CF patients has been described.
