Abstract

Acne is a dermatologic pathology relatively common that affects the pilosebaceous unit.   It mainly affects adolescents and young adults; however, symptoms may also affect other age groups. The etiology of acne is multifactorial, and four mechanisms involved in the development of the disease have been identified. Despite the fact that advances in terms of treatment have been studied and documented, retinoids remain as one of the main drugs in the treatment of the disease. Drugs such as benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics can be added to the treatment.
