Q

acne vulgaris pathophysiology

A

Outlet narrows due to proliferation and accumulation of keratinocytes and skin edema

Sebum (composed of lipids and cell fragments) builds up in blocked follicle

Cutibacterium acnes(formerly Propionibacteriumacnes) lives off sebum and proliferates in comedone

Inflammation of comedone results from leakage of sebum into the dermis and secretion of proinflammatory mediators, chemokines, and degradative enzymes by C. acnes
