Acne, acne vulgaris as it is scientifically known is a disease of the hair follicle on the face, back, and chest or where ever the acne is found. Acne is usually common among teens during puberty. At puberty sebaceous glands attached to the hair follicles are stimulated by circulating male hormones. As the stimulated sebaceous glands increase oil production it predisposes the skin cell to plug the follicular pore. Usually the plug appears as a whitehead that is if it is covered by a layer of skin that is thin. As this process goes on with time the follicle enlarges and may cause the wall to rapture allowing normal skin bacteria and other irritating substances to have access to deep layers of the skin and eventually causing inflammation near the surface of the skin. The inflammation results in a pustule. Deeper inflammation produces a papule which is a pimple. If the inflammation goes very deep it can cause a cyst. Blackhead is not dirt. Blackhead is a mild acne type that has a dark or black surface due to oxidized oil. Pimple is also an acne type which has a

Sebaceous glands have the duty to expel the extra oil in the skin. Still, every now and then, they’ll get clogged from too much oil, resulting in acne, pimples and numerous other skin problems. One commonly seen condition that affects adolescents is acne vulgaris.
Acne is so common a skin disease that affects over 80 percent of mostly teenagers. Most doctors are very familiar with this chronic skin disease.
Acne is an integumentary disorder that produces a variety of blemishes on the skin, such as blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. This disorder is contracted from excess sebum secretion (Shier et al., 2013). To further illustrate, “before puberty, adrenal glands increase production of androgen, which stimulates increased secretion of sebum” (Shier et al., 2013). Therefore, during puberty, there is an excess amount of sebum which forms acne on the skin, because acne is produced when “the sebaceous glands are extra responsive to androgens”(Shier et al., 2013). Although acne is the most common skin disease, it is not contagious. This integumentary disorder is treated by numerous different types of medications depending on the severity of the acne.
For most people, acne starts during the teen years. This is because hormone changes make the skin oilier after puberty

To fully understand what Acne Vugaris is we must discuss its origins in the sebaceous glands, also known as "the body's natural moisturizer." (Juettner 14) Sebaceous glands, are attached to hair follicles and produce sebum, an oily sticky substance. Due to hormonal influences, sebum increases and sticks together with keratinized skin cells forming a plug, or comedone, in the hair follicle clogging the skins pore. As sebum builds under the clogged pore it creates an ideal setting for the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) to multiply. Which in turn causes the skin to inflame and produce a visible lesion. "There can be no question that severity of acne parallels sebum secretion." (Plewig, Kligman 18) As a consequence of overactive sebaceous glands, acne develops.

Individuals in the treatment group underwent isotretinoin therapy for six months at a starting dose of 0.6-1 mg/kg/d, titrated to reach a total dose of 120 mg/kg.8 In the treatment group, liver function, hemograms, lipids, B12, and folic acid levels were evaluated both before administration of isotretinoin and after six months of therapy. In the control group, B12 and folic acid levels were measured once.8

Most of the diseases that affect the human skin have been studied perfectly in order to find a treatment to cure them. There are wide range of skin diseases, though acne is one of the most important. Statically, about 80% of people have got acne in their life, mostly in adolescence. Acne can take place in the face and upper trunk, yet it occurs mostly in the face. To add even further, because it can cause scarring on the face, some acne patients feel ashamed about it. This can lead to serious consequences in both social and psychological sides. Acne can be treated, however, most of the time it goes away when adolescence years end. Some cases may have serious distortions due to scarring, whereas other may not. This research paper will study
Diet, micronutrients and nutrition supplements have long been studied and utilized in the maintenance of skin health, beauty and integrity. The skin is the largest organ of the body, consisting of three layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis, providing a protective layer from the external environment.1 The dermis and hypodermis contain the cutaneous vascular system, allowing for deliverance of nutrients to the skin, temperature regulation, immune function and wound healing. Manifestations of poor skin health can be caused by various nutritionally related conditions, such as vitamin deficiencies, malnutrition or obesity, as well as other disease states that can negatively impact normal skin physiology. Nutrition as a treatment or causation of certain skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis and non-melanoma skin cancer has become a controversial area of study.2 One of the most disputed controversies in the history of dermatological research has involved the role of nutrition in acne development. It is estimated that greater than 17 million Americans suffer from acne, resulting in negative psychological and emotional impacts.3 The disease effects between 80-90% of adolescents in America, yet is also prevalent in many adults, with the average age of treatment being 24. Since acne often persists into adulthood, hormonal imbalances and endocrine signaling during puberty cannot be the only cause.4 Due to the frequent occurrence of acne in the United States, many health care
