Abstract

Another fact pointing to this etiological relation is the failure to relieve acne at this period as we have been led to hope by dietetic measures. I may say in conclusion that I have found little aid in my studies of this subject because of the very limited amount of current literature on acne. Dr. Corlett asked Dr. Seiler whether he re¬ ferred the acne to the nasal affection, or the nasal affection to the acne, the connection being a re¬ flex one. Dr. Seiler said his belief was that the acne was caused both by the reflex influence of nasal irritation and the mechanical congestion which was not relieved by the erectile tissue of the turbinated bones. In other words, the influence was both nervous and mechanical.
