Abstract

Background: Blackheads, papules, pustules, and nodules are signs of Acne vulgaris, a disorder of inflammation in polysebaceous units. Eighty-five percent of adolescents and young people between the ages of 12 and 15 have acne vulgaris. Excessive sebum production, hyperkeratinization of the polysebaceous ducts, mycobacterial infection, and inflammatory processes are the main causes of acne vulgaris. Dysseborrhoea is the term for the quantitative and qualitative change in sebum levels that occurs during puberty. In addition to external variables like comedogenic medicines and cosmetics, internal factors including hormonal and genetic factors can also cause the problem.
