A theory concerning the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris is offered and, based on the theory, a rationale for treatment is presented. Acne vulgaris should be regarded as a cosmetically unacceptable biological variation in most cases, a syndrome rather than a disease. One must not lose sight of the occasional case in which it is the marker of an endocrine disorder.
本文提出了一种关于寻常痤疮发病机制的理论，并基于该理论给出了治疗的基本原理。在大多数情况下，寻常痤疮应被视为一种在美容方面难以接受的生物学变异，是一种综合征而非疾病。人们绝不能忽视偶尔出现的痤疮是内分泌紊乱标志的病例。
