Join Leon H. Kircik, MD; Linda Stein Gold, MD; and Jonathan S. Weiss, MD as they discuss the medical interventions that target one or more of the key factors contributing to the development of acne lesions.
Acne pathogenesis is multifactorial and not clearly understood; a key factor includes genetics and may result as in interplay of release of inflammatory mediators into the skin, follicular hyperkeratinization with subsequent plugging of the follicle, Cutibacterium acne (C. acnes), formerly Propionibacterium acnes or P. acnes, follicular colonization and excess sebum production.
factors influencing treatment with classes of topical agents include: comedolytic (anticomedogenic), antimicrobial, antibiotic and antiinflammatory; each impact on the four main pathogenic features of acne.
