Brief Summary  

Acne is a chronic disease of sebaceous follicles that is multifactorial in etiology. It can wax and wane in severity according to lesion types, numbers, and extent of involvement and can result in scarring. Acne occurs more frequently on the face, but can also occur on the non-facial skin (e.g., trunk). There are two major types of acne lesions:

1. Non-inflammatory: Non-inflammatory lesions are the open (blackheads) or closed (whiteheads) comedones.

2. Inflammatory: Inflammatory lesions include papules, pustules, and nodules. 

Although most drug products for acne are intended for the broad indication of acne vulgaris, some drug products have been developed that only target one of these two lesion subsets. Acne is primarily a disease of adolescence and young adulthood but can persist past the third decade of life.

Numerous topical and systemic drugs have been developed in the past years and most, if not all, are available in India. The challenge is to meet the rising expectations of the youth of India, who make up the bulk of acne population and will demand the best. For successful treatment of acne, new formulations in combination therapy have been developed. These formulations will not only increase the efficacy of the treatment but also boost the adherence. Furthermore, they minimize the resistance.
