Racial Differences in Dermatologic Treatment for Adolescents With <scp>PCOS</scp> ‐Related Acne Vulgaris

Racial and ethnic disparities exist in acne treatment among adolescents with PCOS, particularly reduced prescribing of spironolactone, COC, and isotretinoin for Hispanic patients and topical antibiotics for Black patients. These differences are not fully explained by acne severity, insurance, or interpreter use. Further research should assess how prescribing differences impact outcomes and inform equitable dermatologic care.

Abstract

Racial and ethnic disparities exist in acne treatment among adolescents with PCOS, particularly reduced prescribing of spironolactone, COC, and isotretinoin for Hispanic patients and topical antibiotics for Black patients. These differences are not fully explained by acne severity, insurance, or interpreter use. Further research should assess how prescribing differences impact outcomes and inform equitable dermatologic care.
