TLDR Puberty often causes skin issues like acne and excessive sweating, and treatments require patience as results may vary.

The 2013 document reviews dermatological issues during puberty, with a focus on acne, which affects 80% to 100% of individuals aged 11 to 30. It discusses the multifactorial pathogenesis of acne, including genetic factors, diet, hormones, and the psychological impact. The review also covers seborrheic dermatitis, hyperhidrosis, and their treatments. It mentions a genetic marker for acne in males and the seasonal improvement of acne lesions. The document further explores the role of sebaceous glands in acne, lists various acne types, and briefly mentions treatment options based on a 2009 consensus. Additionally, it addresses hair-related issues such as dandruff, hair shaft damage, physiological hair loss during puberty, and androgenic alopecia (AGA), including treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants. It emphasizes the need for patience in treatment, as improvements can be temporary.
