ABSTRACT

Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological condition with multifactorial origins, including hormonal and seditious factors. Recent studies suggest a implicit link between acne and insulin resistance (IR), a condition constantly associated with metabolic pattern. This review explores the pathophysiological mechanisms connecting insulin resistance to acne development. Elevated insulin situations, frequently a result of insulin resistance, can increase androgen product, leading to increased sebaceous gland exertion and sebum product, crucial factors in acne conformation. also, insulin resistance may contribute to systemic inflammation, aggravating acne symptoms. Epidemiological studies and clinical trials have shown a correlation between insulin resistance labels and acne inflexibility, particularly in individualities with metabolic pattern. Therapeutically, addressing insulin resistance through salutary interventions, pharmacological treatments like metformin, and life variations may help ameliorate both conditions. This review highlights the significance of considering metabolic health in acne operation and discusses unborn exploration directions to more understand this connection and optimize treatment strategies.
