What is the department for acne?

Acne is generally referred to as acne. Normally, acne should be referred to dermatology, but if it is accompanied by hyperandrogenic manifestations, endocrinology and gynecology should be consulted. Acne is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands of hair follicles, which is caused by abnormal androgen levels, exuberant secretion of sebaceous glands, hyperkeratosis of the epithelium of hair follicles, and infection by Propionibacterium acnes. After the onset of the disease, the patient’s face, forehead, back, shoulders and other parts of the face will appear whiteheads, blackheads and other manifestations of acne. As the disease progresses, the lesions may form inflammatory papules with tenderness, and in severe cases, dark red nodules and cysts of varying sizes may form. If acne shows the above symptoms, patients should consult a dermatologist promptly. However, if acne is accompanied by menstrual disorders and hyperandrogenism (e.g. different degrees of hirsutism, hair loss, excess oil on the head and face, etc.), it is considered to be caused by polycystic ovary syndrome, and should be consulted by endocrinologists or gynecologists in a timely manner. If you have acne, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time to avoid delays and serious consequences.
