56 patients with nodulocystic acne, hidrosadenitis (2 cases) and steatocystoma multiplex (2 cases) were treated with oral isotretinoin. 52 patients cleared completely or were much improved without local treatment; 2 failures involved patients with steatocystoma, while 2 patients with ano-inguinal lesions were only improved. 19 patients received a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day for six months; in 37 patients the dose was adapted to the initial response but did not exceed 1 mg/kg/day. Reversible elevated triglyceride concentration was observed in 5% of the patients. 18 patients were followed up and 4 (22%) presented moderate relapses.
