Abstract
One of the most prevalent dermatological conditions affecting adolescents is acne vulgaris. A skin condition known as acne vulgaris, or simply acne, affects people and is characterised by skin that is red and scaly (seborrhea), as well as blackheads and whiteheads.(comedones), pinhead-sized papules (nodules), big papules (pimples), scarring, and pimples. A pilosebaceous unit illness called acne vulgaris causes papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts as well as open and closed comedones.Although acne is rarely life threatening, severe acne can have an impact on social interactions and mental health.The focus of the current study is on the epidemiology, aetiology, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and therapy of acne using oral and topical pharmacological dosage forms. Benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, sulphur and sodium sulphacetamide, antiandrogen drugs, salicylic acid, hormonal therapies, alpha hydroxy acids, retinoids, azelaic acids, and nicotinamide are some of the pharmaceuticals used to treat acne. Nowadays, acne can be treated with laser and light equipment as well as with minor surgery.
