There is no validated and universal way to diagnose acne vulgaris. Many definitions and grading scales exist, and most grading scales use photographs and the number of acne lesions to quantify the severity of acne vulgaris from mild to severe.[1]
The diagnosis of acne vulgaris should be based on the clinical judgment of a medical professional.
