D e r m a l o g i c
Acne is such a widespread issue that affects many, and there are several factors that contribute to this.
GENETIC FACTORS
Evidence shows that people with a family history of acne are more likely to have it themselves.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia can increase androgen levels, leading to acne.
STRESS
Emotional stress can trigger or worsen acne by affecting hormones and inflammation.
SKINCARE
Some skincare products or cosmetics can encourage acne formation despite being advertized as acne-free.
MEDICATIONS/DRUGS
Some medications or drugs can provoke acne; this includes steroid medications as well.
DIET
Based on studies, glycemic load and cow milk consumption contribute to the development of acne.
Our project addresses the problem of inflammation in acne, developing a biosensor-response system to detect inflammatory biomarkers and provide targeted treatment.
