Abstract

A frequent inflammatory pilosebaceous disorder that affects 80–90% of teenagers, acne vulgaris is still a concern for dermatologists and other doctors in the field of medicine. Acne has a significant psychosocial impact and is responsible for a bigger worldwide burden of disease than psoriasis, cellulitis, and melanoma, as measured by age-standardized disability-adjusted life years. Patients may experience psychological problems as well as severe skin scars as a result of the condition. The pathogenesis process of acne lesion is complex, so it is myriad of available treatment. Acne is caused by a combination of four different pathological causes, including an increase in sebum production, irregular follicular desquamation, P.acnes proliferation, and inflammation of the afflicted skin. Synthetic, hormonal, and herbal treatments, as well as their efficacy in treating acne vulgaris, are discussed in this article. The laser and light treatment for acne vulgaris available within a specific wavelength range that stimulates type I and III collagen and elastic fibres is described in relation to radiation therapies. The innovative drug delivery techniques are covered here, such as particle, vesicular, and colloidal delivery systems as a prospective therapy. We will present a practical method for acne management in this article and discuss how to assess acne, how to use topical therapies, and how systemic therapy can be used to treat acne. This review will inform readers on the most recent advances in our understanding of acne treatment-related technological potential, with a particular emphasis on developing treatment alternatives and creative ways that can assist improve patient results. Acne has been the subject of substantial research, both in terms of disease mechanism and therapeutic approaches. However, as Propionibacterium acnes develop resistance to current medications there is a requirement for novel therapeutic modalities. Additionally, the absence of required data regarding the efficacy of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies needs a greater investigation into these treatment choices.
