Acne Vulgaris is the most common type of acne and is characterized as a superficial disease that affects the hair follicles and oil secreting glands of the skin. The exact cause is unknown, although genetics, hormonal dysfunction, and over-secretion of sebum are strongly implicated. Risk factors include cosmetics, stress, steroids and other drugs, oral contraceptives, mechanical skin irritants, and climate. This form of acne usually begins in puberty and affects about 80% of adolescents in some form. Males are affected more often; however, females have more severe and more prolonged cases. It manifests as blackheads, whiteheads and inflammation (redness).
Acne Vulgaris is the least severe form of acne. When we simply refer to ‘acne”, we almost always mean “acne Vulgaris”. This type of acne is common under the skin on the face, neck, chest, or upper back.
