#995: MM- Potential Vaccine for Acne

Do you struggle with acne? I may have some good news for you. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Acne is caused by the backup of dead skin cells and oil in hair follicles. This leads to pain and inflammation in the follicle itself. Around forty to fifty five percent of adults aged twenty to forty experience adult acne. It can lead to skin infections, scarring, and low self-esteem. A study was recently published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology stating that researchers are working on a vaccine to prevent acne. So, how does it work? Well, it works by attacking the toxin secreted by acne vulgaris. This reduces the inflammation to the hair follicle. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing persistent acne.
