What is Dermatology Primary Skin Lesions Guide about?
Acne vulgaris is caused by androgen-induced seborrhea leading to abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and comedone formation in pilosebaceous units. Colonization of ducts by Propionibacterium acnes leads to inflammation. On examination, non-inflamed lesions like blackheads and whiteheads as well as inflamed papules, pustules, and nodules may be seen. Treatment involves topical retinoids, antibiotics, and benzoyl peroxide to reduce inflammation and bacteria over at least 3 months.
