“…Sugary sweets, refined grains, a lot of protein, fatty dairy products, and a lot of sugar are all hallmarks of the Western diet. Obesity, insulin resistance, and acne are so prevalent in younger generations at alarming rates [16]. Anabolic androgen precursors of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), such as 5-pregnanedoine and other exogenous steroid hormones, are known to be present in cow's milk [15].…”

“…The Outward Signs of Acne vulgaris in Clinical Practice Nodules, pustules, comedones, and inflammatory papules are the typical lesions seen in acne. Cysts were the old name for some of the bigger nodules, and nodulocystic was a word for more severe inflammatory acne [16]. Comedones, both open and closed, are acne lesions that do not cause inflammation.…”

Objectives: Describe the pathophysiology of acne vulgaris and talk about how androgens contribute to the onset of the condition throughout puberty. Background: Acne is a skin ailment that often affects children and teenagers. It seems that the condition is triggered by an increase in the amounts of circulating androgens that originate from the adrenal glands and the testes. Research Methods: We scoured the Medline databases (Pub Med and Medscape) for research that elucidate the pathophysiology of acne vulgaris and address the part played by androgens in the onset of the condition in adolescents up to the year 2023. Research Prioritization: The inclusion of all research was determined by separate evaluations. Inclusion was contingent upon them meeting the following requirements: 1. Presented in an English language format. 2. Publicated in publications that undergo a rigorous peer review process. 3. Explain the process by which acne vulgaris develops and talk about how androgens play a part in this adolescent skin condition. Data Extraction: Studies were omitted from consideration if they failed to meet the inclusion criteria. The study's quality was evaluated based on a number of aspects, such as the following: the availability of sufficient information; the clarity of evaluation criteria; and the acquisition of ethical permission. For our concerned research outcomes, data were independently extracted from all qualifying studies utilizing a data collecting form. Conclusions: Acne is a problem that mostly affects children and teenagers, and it seems that the illness is triggered by elevated amounts of circulating androgens that originate from the adrenal glands and the testicles. Acne pathogenesis involves a series of events that occur in a relatively consecutive order: retained hyperkeratosis, hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands and increased sebum production, follicle colonization by Propionibacterium acnes, and inflammation around the follicles.

“…According to Persian medicines textbooks, Prunus domestica L., Tamarindus indica L., Terminalia chebula L., Ziziphus jujube L., and Cassia fistula L. may be effective in acne treatment (10). In addition, in recent studies, these medicinal plants have been demonstrated to be effective in treating acne lesions due to their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects (11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

Background: Many patients, chiefly teenagers, seek effective treatment for acne vulgaris. Besides topical treatments, antibiotics, and anti-androgens, herbal treatments have been used against it. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effects of an herbal combination based on Prunus domestica L., Tamarindus indica L., Terminalia chebula L., Ziziphus jujube L., and Cassia fistula L. on acne vulgaris. Methods: This randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm parallel trial was conducted in patients with mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris. Patients were randomized, 55 in each group, to receive either herbal syrup or placebo (10 cc every 8 hours) for 12 weeks and were followed for 4 weeks. The severity of acne and participants’ psychological status was assessed by acne severity index (ASI) and Cardiff acne disability index (CADI), respectively. Results: No significant changes were observed up to the sixth week of treatment in both groups (P ≥ 0.05). From 6 weeks to 12 weeks, the outcomes indicated a significant reduction in the mean number of comedones (P < 0.030), papules (P < 0.045), pustules (P < 0.026), nodules (P < 0.044), and ASI (P < 0.001) in the herbal syrup group compared to the placebo group. Nevertheless, this did not continue after 4 weeks of follow-up (16th week). Conclusions: The herbal syrup could be an alternative treatment in patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris. Indeed, more clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
