Acne is caused by excessive sebum production, dead skin cells blocking hair follicles, and bacteria. It results in whiteheads, blackheads, heat, swelling, redness, and pain. Treatments include salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells, lactic acid to reduce sebum production, and benzoyl peroxide to treat bacteria. Following a routine with these ingredients as well as choosing non-comedogenic products, wearing oil-free makeup, drinking water, and getting enough sleep can help prevent acne.

Treatment of acne vulgaris in general practice
This document discusses the classification, severity, treatment, and management of acne. It describes acne as comedonal, inflammatory, or nodulocystic. Severity is classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on the number and size of lesions and presence of scarring. Treatment involves reducing bacteria, excess skin cells, sebum production, and hormones. For mild-moderate acne, topical retinoids and benzoyl peroxide are recommended. Moderate-severe acne is treated with oral antibiotics like doxycycline combined with topical treatments. Patients are advised on proper skin care and risks of certain medications aggravating acne. Referral to a dermatologist is suggested for un
Acne
This document discusses difficulties in treating acne and poor responders to treatment. It notes that while most patients respond well to standard acne treatments, 10-15% are poor responders. Poor response can be due to antibiotic-resistant Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, non-acne infections, or high sebum production diluting antibiotics. Treatment of poor responders depends on the underlying cause and may include isotretinoin, stronger antibiotics, or hormone therapies. The document provides detailed guidelines for managing treatment-resistant acne and acne variants based on underlying pathological factors.
Dermatopharmacology
This document provides an overview of dermatopharmacology and summarizes key topics including skin structure, principles of topical drug application, antimicrobial agents, antifungal agents, antiviral agents, immunosuppressants, and recent advances. It discusses the structure of the epidermis and dermis, formulations for topical drug delivery, potency classifications of topical corticosteroids, mechanisms and indications for various antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral agents.
Acne Slide Show
Acne is caused by many factors including family history, hormones, and clogged hair follicles. The hair follicles produce oil that can become trapped with dead skin and form blackheads or become infected, causing pimples. It mainly affects teenagers due to hormonal changes and can cause low self-esteem, bullying, and depression. Treatments aim to clear dead skin and blackheads to allow the follicles to function properly again.
Acne
Acne occurs when pores become clogged with dead skin cells, sebum, and bacteria. It starts in sebaceous glands that secrete an oily substance called sebum, which can become trapped in pores along with skin cells and bacteria, causing blackheads or whiteheads. Pimples develop as small red bumps when sebaceous glands become overactive and clog pores. The most common areas for acne are the face, chest, back and shoulders.
Eczema Rangeen
Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by redness, blistering, weeping, and crusting. It has both acute and chronic stages. There are many types of eczema classified by etiology as endogenous, exogenous, or combined. Common types include atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, and stasis dermatitis. Eczema is diagnosed clinically and treatment involves identifying triggers, moisturizing, topical corticosteroids, oral antihistamines, and managing complications.
Eczema
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy skin and rashes. It is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that damage the skin barrier. The exact cause is unknown but may involve a defective skin barrier and immune system abnormalities. Diagnosis is based on characteristic appearance and distribution of rashes as well as personal or family history of atopy. Treatment involves reducing exposure to irritants and allergens, frequent use of emollients, topical corticosteroids for flares, and immunosuppressants for severe cases.
Acne
Acne vulgaris is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit caused by increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, and bacterial colonization. It manifests as comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Treatment involves addressing underlying causes with topical retinoids, antibiotics, and oral antibiotics which reduce inflammation and P. acnes levels. For severe nodular cystic acne, oral isotretinoin is used which decreases sebum production and has anti-inflammatory effects.

Acne
Acne vulgaris is a self-limited skin disorder of the pilosebaceous unit that primarily affects adolescents and presents with various lesions including comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts on the face, trunk and chest. It is caused by four key factors: follicular hyperkeratinization, sebum accumulation, inflammation and the presence of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. Androgens play an important role by increasing sebum production. Treatment involves topical retinoids, antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide for mild-moderate acne and oral antibiotics, isotretinoin or hormonal therapy for severe inflammatory acne.
Bone loss
The document discusses bone loss patterns in periodontal disease. It notes that the balance between bone formation and resorption maintains bone height and density under normal conditions. The most common cause of bone destruction in periodontal disease is the extension of gingival inflammation into the supporting bone and tissues. This can lead to horizontal bone loss when inflammation travels along the bone crest or vertical bone loss when it travels directly into the periodontal ligament space. Bone destruction patterns include osseous craters in the interdental bone, bulbous bone contours, reversed architecture with loss of interdental bone, and furcation involvement in multi-rooted teeth.
Acne Vulgaris
This document defines acne vulgaris and discusses its pathogenesis, clinical presentation, treatment, and complications. Key points include:
- Acne is caused by abnormalities in sebum production, desquamation, P. acnes proliferation and inflammation within pilosebaceous units. It commonly affects adolescents.
- Lesions include non-inflammatory comedones and inflammatory papules, pustules, and nodules. Variants include neonatal, infantile, nodulocystic, and hormonally-induced forms.

Dr. Siddique discusses the four main causes of acne: overproduction of oil, dead skin cell build up, bacteria, and inflammation. He explains the different types of acne lesions including whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Hormonal changes during puberty as well as certain medications are known to affect sebum production and cause acne. Treatment involves gentle cleansing, use of non-comedogenic moisturizer and products, and other options like topical medications, lasers, or chemical peels which may take 4-12 weeks to show results.

5. Acne Pharmacology
Acne is a common skin condition characterized by clogged pores and inflammation. It is caused by excess production of oil and dead skin cells blocking pores, allowing bacteria to grow. Hormonal changes during puberty cause increases in oil and skin cell production that can lead to acne lesions like whiteheads or blackheads. Treatment involves topical or oral medications to reduce oil, remove dead skin cells, and fight bacteria, with options ranging from benzoyl peroxide to antibiotics to oral isotretinoin for severe cases.
June Beauty Bits
1. Blackheads form when pores become clogged with dead skin cells and excess oil. Gentle exfoliation and products containing salicylic acid or retinoids can help unclog pores and prevent future blackheads by increasing cell turnover.
2. Long-term strategies for preventing blackheads include choosing oil-free products, avoiding blocking pores, managing stress, and watching dairy and high-glycemic food intake as these can increase oil production.
3. In-office procedures like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or extractions can provide faster results for treating existing blackheads but require at-home skin care afterwards for maintenance.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

- 10. Here are some top tips to help you to treat and prevent acne.
- 11. Choose products that are non-comedogenic and free of below ingredients: Lanolin: Fragrance: Artificial fragrances can increase acne infections. Mineral Oil: This oil has been shown to cause and exacerbate acne. This is a fatty substance obtained from sheep’s wool. It has moisturizing properties, but has pore-clogging capabilities as well.
- 12. Choose a light moisturizer with a hyaluronic acid base instead of rich moisturizer which contributing to further congestion
- 13. Keep makeup as light as possible and use makeup only when absolutely necessary. Always use oil free foundation and other make up products to prevent blockage
- 14. Limit UV exposure or apply triple layers of sunscreens with at least a SPF 30 to prevent excess UV exposure which can thicken the epidermis and cause follicular blockage
- 15. Exercise to flush out unnecessary toxins and drink several glasses of water daily to replenish your skin.
- 16. Get sufficient and quality sleep for 8 hours per day as insufficient sleep contributes to hormonal imbalance and hence production of more sebum resulting in aggravation of acne breakouts.
