"Acne excoriée des jeunes filles" - this translates to "Young girls' excoriated acne." Is it really a term used in medicine? If not, it could be offensive to those who actually have the condition. SweetNightmares (talk) 23:20, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is actually a term that is used. There are many sources that use that terminology. Clinically, it also has some relevance. Feel free to use my own talk page if you have any additional questions. ---kilbad (talk) 00:18, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
