Face/Scalp / Acne Vulgaris
Usually occurs beginning in puberty, but some people get acne lesions well into their 30s and 40s. Genetics, hormonal influence, and activity all contribute to the development of this disease that can have heavy social consequences. Multiple medical treatments are available, some of which can offer near permanent cures. Some cosmetic treatments, including chemical peels, also can improve acne in certain individuals.
