Diagnosis of Acne
Severity of the acne can be measured in many different ways. In the Leeds technique, lesions are counted and categorised as either inflammatory or non-inflammatory and the counts can range between 0 and 10.0. In the Cook's scale, photographs are used to determine severity ranging between 0 and 8 whereas in the Pillsbury technique, the acne ranges between 1 and 4.
