 WHAT IS ACNE VULGARIS?
Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-term skin disease that occurs
when hair follicles are clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. It
is characterized by blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and
possible scarring. It primarily affects areas of the skin with a relatively
high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and
back. The resulting appearance can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem
and, in extreme cases, depression or thoughts of suicide.
 SYMPTOMS
Typical features of acne include increased secretion of oily
sebum by the skin, microcomedones, comedones, papules,
nodules (large papules), pustules, and often results in scarring.
The appearance of acne varies with skin color. It may result in
psychological and social problems.
 DIAGNOSIS
Comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) must be present to diagnose
acne. In their absence, an appearance similar to that of acne would
suggest a different skin disorder. Microcomedones (the precursor to
blackheads and whiteheads) are not visible to the naked eye when
inspecting the skin and can only be seen with a microscope. There are
many features that may indicate a person's acne vulgaris is sensitive to
hormonal influences. Historical and physical clues that may suggest
hormone-sensitive acne include onset between ages 20 and 30 worsening
the week before a woman's menstrual cycle acne lesions predominantly
over the jawline and chin; and inflammatory/nodular acne lesions.
 RISK OF ACNE VULGARIS
• Risk factors for the development of acne, other than genetics, have not been
conclusively identified. Possible secondary contributors include hormones,
infections, diet and stress. Studies investigating the impact of smoking on the
incidence and severity of acne have been inconclusive. Sunlight and cleanliness are
not associated with acne.
• Genes
• Hormones
• Infection
TREATMENT OF ACNE VULGARIS
• Comedones: Topical tretinoin
• Mild inflammatory acne: Topical retinoid
alone or with a topical antibiotic, benzoyl
peroxide, or both
• Moderate acne: Oral antibiotic plus topical
therapy as for mild acne
• Severe acne: Oral isotretinoin
• Cystic acne: Intralesional triamcinolone
 PREVENTION OF ACNE VULGARIS

There are various preventative measures that may prevent or reduce acne flare-ups.
Examples include:
• To prevent the incidence of scarring, never squeeze or pick acne lesions.
• Establish a daily skin-care regimen, which includes cleansing the skin with a soft
wash cloth, warm water and an appropriate facial soap at least twice a day.
• Use only oil-free skin and hair care products.
• Avoid scrubbing the skin when cleansing.
• Women should use makeup that is oil-free or labeled "non-comedogenic."
• Always cleanse skin after sweating.
• Wear daily sun protection , since some acne medications may increase the skin's
sensitivity to sunlight.
