BACKGROUND: Although more than 25 acne grading systems exist, only 2 are inclusive of truncal acne. There is neither a gold standard nor a consistently used standardized system.
PURPOSE: Our purpose was to develop and validate an acne grading system incorporating severity at the face, chest, and back.
