Acne Vulgaris - Symptoms, Treatment of Acne Vulgaris

Severe acne vulgaris is characterized by nodules and cysts.  Acne Vulgaris is a disease of skin and equally affects men and women.

Causes of Acne Vulgaris

The cause is multifactorial but the blockage of pilosebaceous units with surrounding inflammation is the main pathological process and this can occur because of a number of different factors.

Types of Acne Vulgaris

Clinical variants of Acne vulgaris exist:

Infantile acne

Facial acne is occasionally seen in infants and is sometimes cystic. It is thought to be due to the influence of maternal androgens and resolves spontaneously.

Steroid acne

Acne may occur secondary to corticosteroid therapy or Cushing's syndrome. Comedones and cysts are rare in this variant but involvement of the back and shoulders (rather than the face) is common. Clinically the rash often appears as a pustular folliculitis.
