While genetics remains the underlying root cause of acne, the disease process is multifactorial. Leaving off from our last blog, an additional factor involved in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris is the production and excretion of sebum (oil). It is widely accepted that sebum is controlled by androgens, even though blood tests in numerous acne patients reveal normal androgen levels. It has been hypothesized that sebaceous glands are not only regulated by androgens, but that other molecules including growth hormone and insulin-like growth factors may also responsible for the production and excretion of sebum, and in turn, the manifestation of acne.
Our next blog will uncover the third factor involved in the disease process of acne.
