Acne
Acne is a result of hormonal changes, genetics, and certain medications. It is most common in teenagers and young adults but can occur at any age. While acne is not usually a grave medical condition, it can be a source of discomfort and low self-esteem for those who suffer from it. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the development of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and other types of blemishes around the face and neck. The global prevalence of acne in the general population is approximately 9.4%. However, the prevalence varies widely across different regions and demographics. MetroBoston is conducting clinical acne trials in Boston to find new potential acne treatments that may improve the condition.
