Summary

To see if teledermatology can be used to reduce antibiotic burden in patients on doxycycline or minocycline for acne vulgaris

Detailed description

The investigators are going to ascertain if antibiotic burden can be reduced with tele dermatology use. There are two arms of the study: 1. Feedback group 2. Non feedback group All subjects will be randomised to either group, all subjects will take photos of their face and answer questions at baseline, visit 2 (1 month), visit 3 (2 months), visit 4 (3 months). The investigators will then use measurements of acne grading (patient grading, investigator global assessment, lesion counting, global acne grading) to reduce/taper antibiotics in the feedback group.

Conditions

• Acne Vulgaris

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Feedback group	Monitoring ability to use teledermatology to modify antibiotic burden
OTHER	Non Feedback group	To use as control to see if antibiotic burden has been reduced in the active feedback group
