Acne is a skin infection caused by changes in sebaceous glands, with the most common form being acne vulgaris. It is characterized by scaly red skin, blackheads and whiteheads, pinheads, large papules, pimples, and scarring. Acne is a pleomorphic disorder that can manifest at any time during life, but is most common between ages 12-24, affecting 85% of the population. It affects dense sebaceous follicles in areas like the face, chest, and back. Acne can be inflammatory or non-inflammatory and is mainly caused by an increase in androgens like testosterone during puberty. There are two types of lesions: non-inflammatory, open and closed comedones, as well as inflammatory papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Treatment for acne requires patience, proper care, and perseverance. It may take two or three months for treatments to work effectively, and it is important to allow ample time for each regimen or drug to work before proceeding with other treatments.
