Relevance In recent years, there has been an increase in intractable forms of acne, which was noted at the European Congress of Dermatologists in Geneva. Well-known scientists (W. Griffiths and others) explain this growth not only by the deterioration of the ecological situation in general, but also by a decrease in the sensitivity of the known pathogenic flora to antibiotic therapy, etc. Acne, or acne, is one of the most common skin conditions during puberty. The
disease occurs in almost 100% of boys and 90% of girls, at the age of 12-24 is called acne vulgaris, in older age groups – acne tarda. Acne tarda occurs more often in
women, has a continuously persistent course, starting from 25 years and older
(40–54% of cases), localized in the face, less often in the upper third of the body [1].
