- section 3:Acne is a common skin disease affecting up to 80% of adolescents and young adults, and is characterized by the formation of comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules on the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis of acne is complex and involves several molecular mechanisms, including increased sebum production, altered keratinization, bacterial colonization, and inflammation.The main molecular players in acne pathogenesis are androgens, sebum, Propionibacterium acnes, toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Androgens, such as testosterone, stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce excess sebum, which then accumulates in hair follicles and contributes to comedone formation. The overproduction of sebum also alters the skin microenvironment and promotes the growth of P. acnes, a commensal bacterium that can become pathogenic and exacerbate inflammation.acnes stimulates the TLR2 and TLR4 receptors on immune cells, leading to the activation of…arrow_forwardsection 3:Acne is a common skin disease affecting up to 80% of adolescents and young adults, and is characterized by the formation of comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules on the face, neck, chest, and back.
