Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory disorder of the skin involving the pilosebaceous units (hair follicles and their sebaceous glands).It affects mainly the teenagers and young adults, although 10-20% of adults may continue to be affected by it. It is more common in males than in females. Mostly found on face, upper arms, trunk and back, the major concern is regarding the appearance.

Causes

It occurs by hypersensitivity of the sebaceous glands to a normal circulating level of androgens, which are worsened by P. Acnes and inflammation. Causes includes the following:

• Genetics in 80% of cases
• Certain medications like steroids, anticonvulsants and lithium.
• Excess exposure to sunlight

Factors which can aggravate acne include:

• Food with high sugar content like dairy products, chocolate, junk food, etc

Management
