Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit driven by follicular hyperkeratinization, sebum production, Cutibacterium acnes proliferation, and complex innate immune activation. Clinical presentation ranges from comedonal disease to inflammatory papules, pustules, nodules, and scarring, with severity influenced by hormonal factors, genetic predisposition, and environmental triggers.

This hub gathers the evidence, expert perspective, and practical insight shaping how acne is understood and treated today, connecting evolving therapeutic strategies with the nuanced decisions that influence outcomes across severity and age groups.
