Acne vulgaris - what does this mean
Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition caused by the overproduction of oil, the buildup of bacteria, and inflammation of the hair follicles. it is typically characterized by the appearance of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts on the face, chest, back, and shoulders.
What happens during the disease - acne vulgaris
Acne vulgaris is caused by a combination of factors, including an increase in sebum production, clogged pores due to the overgrowth of the skin bacteria propionibacterium acnes, and inflammation of the skin. the excess sebum and bacteria create an ideal environment for inflammation to occur, leading to redness, swelling, and the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads).
