Acne vulgaris is a commonly seen disorder in the dermatology clinics. It is described as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous units, believed to result from hypersensitivity of the sebaceous glands to circulating androgens, which bind to their pertinent receptors on these glands and lead to increased sebum production, hyperproliferation and plugging of the follicles, their subsequent rupture, and release of inflammatory mediators.
