Consistency changes of potential lipid markers in acne patients of different ages and their role in acne pathogenesis.

BACKGROUND

With the development of studies on skin lipid profile changes in acne patients, changes of skin surface lipidome are considered to be another important factor in acne pathogenesis. However, the studies of skin surface lipidome in acne patients of different ages have not been precisely discussed.

AIMS: The mechanism of potential lipid markers in acne patients with different ages was further discussed.

METHODS

On the basis of our previous studies, the changes of skin surface lipidome in acne patients of different ages were analyzed by comprehensive statistics.

RESULTS

By counting the skin lipid markers of acne patients of different ages, it is found that seven lipid indexes are dominant in acne patients and play a vital role in the pathogenesis of acne.

CONCLUSIONS

The analysis found that there was potential consistency in the changes of skin surface lipidome in acne patients of different ages. Moreover, the main lipid markers play an important role in the pathogenesis of acne.
