“…Although the etiology of truncal acne is generally considered to be similar to that of facial acne, there are differences between the skin on the face and the trunk in thickness, pH, and the distribution of sebaceous glands. Truncal skin is also more vulnerable to mechanical stimuli such as sweat, oils, pressure, friction, and occlusion than facial acne [31]. We hypothesize that these factors might be associated with the severity of truncal acne.…”

Acne is a relatively common disease of the pilosebaceous units. Many aspects of facial acne have been studied. However, there is limited evidence regarding truncal acne. Truncal acne is also observed in a significant number of patients, but it is often ignored by patients and clinicians. Although the pathogenesis of facial and trunk acne is considered to be similar, the characteristics of the skin on the trunk and face are thought to be different. As truncal acne can cause scars on large areas of the body and adversely affect the quality of life of patients, more attention should be given to patients with truncal acne. Although only a few studies have been published to date, the epidemiology, etiology, severity assessment tool, assessments of the quality of life, and new treatments targeting truncal acne are currently being studied. Therefore, in this review, the latest knowledge on truncal acne will be discussed.

“…For instance, our body temperature is optimal for housing many different types of microbes. Other factors, such as the presence of nutrient sources like sebum, change the skin’s pH and also act as a carbon source, facilitating the growth of certain groups of microbes . Interestingly, the dense layer of mucus that covers the intestinal epithelium not only serves as a carbon source for microbes but also provides attachment sites for bacterial adhesion …”

The human microbiome is composed of a collection of dynamic microbial communities that inhabit various anatomical locations in the body. Accordingly, the coevolution of the microbiome with the host has resulted in these communities playing a profound role in promoting human health. Consequently, perturbations in the human microbiome can cause or exacerbate several diseases. In this Review, we present our current understanding of the relationship between human health and disease development, focusing on the microbiomes found across the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems as well as the skin. We further discuss various strategies by which the composition and function of the human microbiome can be modulated to exert a therapeutic effect on the host. Finally, we examine technologies such as multiomics approaches and cellular reprogramming of microbes that can enable significant advancements in microbiome research and engineering.

“…Hal ini menunjukkan dengan mempertahankan derajat keasaman mantel asam kulit dapat membantu dalam proses penyembuhan akne vulgaris. 5 Kim, dkk pada tahun 2016 menyatakan bahwa produksi sebum yang berlebihan, pH dan jumlah serta aktivitas dari P. acnes terlibat dalam perkembangan akne itu sendiri 6 . Putri pada tahun 2018-2019 menyatakan bahwa mayoritas penderita yang mengalami akne berusia 17-25 tahun serta terdapat perbedaan derajat keasaman pada kulit wajah antara penderita akne vulgaris dan tanpa akne vulgaris 7 .…”

“…Berdasarkan uji Anova diperoleh bahwa terdapat perbedaan rerata derajat keasaman pada kulit wajah, dada dan punggung pada penderita akne vulgaris. Hal ini sesuai dengan penelitian yang dilakukan sebelumnya oleh Kim, dkk pada tahun 2016 yang menyatakan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara pH kulit wajah, dada dan punggung karena dipengaruhi oleh letak anatomisnya 6 . Menurut Ali dkk pada tahun 2013 ada "physiologic gaps" di penghalang asam tergantung pada letak anatomis kulit, terutama di daerah yang lembab.…”

Background: Acne vulgaris is a disease of the pilosebaceous unit that often occurs in adolescents and young adults. The pathogenesis of acne vulgaris involves several factors, one of which is the acidity (pH) of the skin. Objective: This study aimed to determine the difference in the degree of acidity of facial skin, chest and back of patients with acne vulgaris. Methods: This was a comparative analytic study with cross sectional design. The sample collection technique was consecutive sampling. Data were analyzed using ANOVA-test. Results: The majority of patients with acne vulgaris who came to Murni Teguh Memorial Hospital Medan and the private clinic of dr. Rudyn Reymond Panjaitan, M.Ked (KK), Sp.KK was a 17-25 year old. The mean acidity of facial skin with acne vulgaris was 5.66, the mean acidity of chest skin was 5,84 and the mean acidity of back skin was 6.09. There was a significant difference in the mean value of acidity in facial, chest and back skin of patients with acne vulgaris (p = 0,000). Conclusion: There is a significant difference in average degree of acidity on the facial, chest and back skin in patients with acne vulgaris.
