title: A is for acne.
abstract: Acne is caused by hormones, androgen, and follicular keratinization, which leads to blocked pores, and P. acnes bacteria, which cause pustule form. Dermatologists report that acne treatments, like the skin of suffers, are clearly getting better. New treatments and the refinements of mainstay ones have changed the face of acne treatment. One advantage of the newer, more effective treatments is that patients now take lower doses of antibiotics for shorter periods of time.
