Types, symptoms and ways of treating acne in modern conditions

Abstract

Resume. The most urgent dermatological problem among young people around the world is teenage vulgar acne – acne. Such a problematic condition of the skin of the face forces teenagers, and often adults, to fall into deep depression, to avoid contact with persons of the opposite sex. Acne affects about 9.4% of people, making it the eighth most common disease in the world. Acne often affects adolescents aged 12-18 years, but 20-40% of women develop acne for the first time after the age of 25. Acne usually first appears during puberty, when the sebaceous glands become active, but can occur in people of any age, including adults. Acne typically develops in areas of the skin with an increased number of sebaceous or oil glands: the face, chest, arms and back. Many factors influence the development of acne, including genetics, environmental influences, inflammation, excess oil production, hormonal imbalances, bacteria, and excess dead skin cells that clog hair follicles.
