Acne vulgaris (AV) is a condition of the oil glands that can cause any one or a mix of the following –
-
Open and closed comedones(blackheads and whiteheads)
-
inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, and nodules)
-
Varying degrees of scarring
The causes of Acne Vulgaris are complicated. Four key pathogenic processes lead to the formation of acne
-
Alteration of keratinization around follicles that leads to comedones
-
Increased and altered oil production under hormone (mainly androgen) control
-
Infection of the follicles by Propionibacterium acnes
-
Complex inflammatory mechanisms
Treatment of Acne Vulgaris should target all four pathogenic mechanisms.
