Teenagers and Acne: The Role of the Pharmacist. Part 2


While many hoi polloi do not think maturation affects acne
generality, researchers studying acne in two groups of non-Westerners
have found otherwise. After examining 1,200 Kitavan Islanders of Papua
New Guinea (300 were ages 15 to 25) and Accutane (isotretinoin) hunter-gatherers of
Paraguay (15 were ages 15 to 25), they failed to find a digit case of
acne, even in the mildest form.
They conceded that some disparity in number might be expected based on
differing genetics in the distinct racial groups but also concluded
that the importance of the deviation made that conception unlikely.
Instead, the researchers speculated that environmental factors were
responsible and urged further work to identify them.

The wear of seasons has been traditionally cerebration to affect
acne, with many hoi polloi stating that acne worsens in the winter and
improves in the season. Exploring this truism, researchers surveyed 452
patients with acne about seasonal indicant variations. Although half of
the patients noted such a version, 56% stated that their symptoms
increased in the time of year, opposing the prevailing myth.
However, symptoms worsened in winter for only 11%.
