ACNÉ

Abstract:

Acne is the most traumatic and globally annoying chronic inflammatory skin disease. Its prevalence is highest among patients aged 12-24 years, at a frequency of 85%, although it can persist into adulthood, despite treatment. Its effect involves emotional and physical aspects (presence of marks), in addition to its effect on quality of life. Its clinical presentation ranges from the presence of comedones to mixed comedogenic acne with inflammation (1)(2). The face is the most affected area in most cases, and the trunk is affected in 61% of patients. The lesions caused by this can range from scarring to the presence of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Stimulation of the immune system by hypercolonisation of Propionibacterium acnes is thought to be the possible cause (3).
