Definition of Acne

From a medical perspective acne is a very common skin disease caused by inflammation of pilosebaceous follicles, particularly caused by the bacterium ACNI propion (Researchers have discovered the complete genome of this bacterium, which suggests further drug more specific in the future) and / or a change in hormone levels.
