PICO question
In cats with feline acne and secondary bacterial folliculitis or furunculosis, is topical or systemic antimicrobial therapy superior for reducing time to resolution and severity of clinical signs?
Clinical bottom line
There is no sufficient evidence to compare topical versus systemic treatment in feline acne with secondary folliculitis/furunculosis.
