Implication

This review reveals genetic links to acne vulgaris, highlighting the role of sebaceous glands and antibiotics in treatment.

Key Points

  • Acne vulgaris is prevalent among adolescents, affecting over 80% in developed nations.
  • Mild cases often resolve on their own, while severe cases can lead to scarring and diminished quality of life.
  • Antibiotics and retinoids are primary treatments, but they carry risks like antimicrobial resistance and skin irritation.
  • Advancements in genetics reveal cellular processes as crucial in the pathogenesis of acne, challenging previous assumptions.
