Abstract:
Three cases in which comedones developed in three different peculiar patterns are presented. Comedones developed along the stria nasi, the creases of the forehead and the ear lobule in a girl aged 14 and 2 men aged 73 and 72 years, respectively. A parallelism with keratosis punctata of the palmar creases is proposed. Some anatomical locations seem to facilitate the development of comedones in preexisting pilosebaceous units showing an apparently artificial pattern.

01:27Acne Infection
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...
