Acne CPD Overview
Acne is a common skin condition, which mainly affects people in their teenage years and usually resolves in adulthood. The peak in prevalence and severity is between 14 - 17 in girls and 16 - 19 in boys. The earlier onset in girls would fit with the earlier onset of puberty.
Many factors coexist to bring about acne. These include increased sebum production, the formation of comedones, colonisation and growth of Proprionobacterium acnes and inflammation. Although even severe acne in adolescence is likely to resolve in adulthood, early treatment can prevent some of the long term effects such as disfiguring scar formation.
