“…6,7 This trend may stem from the relatively benign nature of these diseases as well as the numerous treatment modalities that have proved successful over time. [8][9][10] Nevertheless, recent studies on genetic variations between Propionibacterium acnes strains, 11 a potential bacteriophage-based treatment for acne, 12 and the continual search for a microbial cause of rosacea offer an exciting future for research in these topics. 13 Research into dermatitis has stayed relatively stable since 1970, especially in recent years.…”

Context: Medical journals have allowed researchers to share their latest discoveries, especially in the most common diseases affecting patients worldwide.Objective: To analyze trends in the frequency of original research into common dermatologic diseases from 1970 to 2010.Design: A retrospective review of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology and the Archives of Dermatology was performed using the MEDLINE database. All original research articles published between 1970 and 2010, by quinquennium, dealing with acne vulgaris, rosacea, skin cancer, dermatitis, psoriasis, or skin infections were included.Main Outcome Measure: Total number of publications dealing with each dermatologic topic considered.Results: The frequency of research into acne vulgaris and rosacea decreased from 24% in 1970 to 5.1% in 2010. Psoriasis research increased in frequency from 17.6% to 26.5% from 2000 to 2010, and skin cancer research increased from 4% in 1970 to 48% in 2010.Conclusions: Topics that experienced early advancements in research, such as acne vulgaris and rosacea, demonstrated a decreasing trend in the frequency of publication. Published psoriasis research has increased in frequency since 2000, most likely because of the discovery of biologics. Finally, skin cancer research has continued to increase in frequency of publication, paralleling the increasing incidence of skin cancer.

“…An interesting aspect of the sebaceous gland's function is the production of corticotropin as well as protein binding this hormone and its receptors. This production, as a reaction to stress, is most probably responsible for exacerbation of acne in stress situations [10].…”

Synopsis Acne vulgaris is the most frequently diagnosed dermatosis in patients between 11 and 30. It is believed that it affects about 80% of persons in this age group or even, taking into account lesions of low intensity, 100% of young people. The aetiopathogenesis of acne is multifactorial. In all patients with acne, the following symptoms occur: excessive sebum production, excessive keratosis of excretory ducts and openings of sebaceous glands, development of bacterial flora and release of inflammatory mediators in the skin. Development of molecular biology, genetics and immunology contributed to a significant progress in studies on the pathogenesis of acne.
