Letter to the Editor: Acne and dairy products

Madam, acne also known as Acne Vulgaris is a widespread disease of the skin affecting a large figure of adolescents. It is just not limited to teenagers it can affect people from ages 10 through 40 years. No one factor causes acne, it usually occurs around puberty. It can be categorized in many different forms, like it can be cystic, nodular or just inflammation. A lot of factors can trigger acne but specifically hormones play the most vital role in its progress, then elements like stress, bacteria etc. are all secondary. Acne is also classified by non-inflammatory open or maybe closed comedones and by inflammatory papules and pustules. And repeatedly it affects those areas of our skin where we have copious sebaceous follicles.
