SKIN CONDITITIONS

Acne is the formation of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and/or cysts as a result of obstruction and inflammation of pilosebaceous units (hair follicles and their accompanying sebaceous gland). It most often affects adolescents, but is not uncommon in adults, particularly in women with PCOS/D. Diagnosis is by examination.

Treatment is a variety of customised topical and systemic medicinal plant based extracts intended to reduce sebum production, infection, and inflammation and normalize keratinization.

Classification of Acne Severity
Severity	Definition
Mild	< 20 comedones, or < 15 inflammatory lesions, or < 30 total lesions
Moderate	20 to 100 comedones, or 15 to 50 inflammatory lesions, or 30 to 125 total lesions
Severe	> 5 cysts, or total comedo count > 100, or total inflammatory count > 50, or > 125 total lesions
