Paper Summary:

This paper begins by asking what acne is, why it appears on the skin, and whether it can be prevented. It then provides various traditional treatments for acne and discusses the risks of certain types of treatments. It discusses the deadly legacy of people with acne who used Accutane and further discusses other problems to be aware of in treating acne. It finally looks at various alternative treatments for acne.

From the Paper:

"According to the National Health Service (NHS) Direct Online Health Encyclopaedia, acne affects a person's hair follicles and the sebaceous glands in the skin, "which secrete an oily substance called sebum" (a fatty lubricant material). The places on the body which most commonly are afflicted with acne are the face, arms, back and chest. Acne usually begins to attack a person's skin about the time of puberty, the NHS explains, but acne can also begin around adulthood in other people. Only 20% of the people in the UK go through life acne-free, the NHS explains, but for those not so fortunate to avoid the plague of pimples, the onslaught can happen generally between the ages of 11 and 30."
