The American Acne and Rosacea Society is spotlighting members’ stories about their experiences living with, treating, and studying acne to spread accurate medical information during National Acne Awareness Month in June.
All month, AARS members will address the impact of acne on affected individuals, dispel myths, and discuss treatment options. AARS social platforms will include updates in June and throughout the summer.
Additionally, AARS has published a social media toolkit for use by members to help spread #AcneFacts via their own social media channels.
“As the only national professional society dedicated to supporting research, education, and patient care for patients with acne, hidradenitis suppurativa—also known as acne inversa, and rosacea, the AARS continuously works to spread knowledge and counter misinformation about acne,” says AARS President James Q. Del Rosso, DO, a dermatologist and researcher in Las Vegas, NV, in a news release. “Acne awareness month is an opportunity to enhance those efforts and use the power of social media to help deliver our message to patients and their families.”
