    TLDR Microbiota imbalances may contribute to acne and offer new treatment insights.
    The document reviewed the complex pathogenesis of acne, highlighting its association with endocrine factors, abnormal keratosis of hair follicle sebaceous ducts, and microbial infection. It emphasized recent studies suggesting that dysregulation of the skin microbiome and intestinal microbiota might play roles in acne's pathophysiology. Additionally, it discussed research on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments for acne, considering the influence of these microbiota. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of acne remained unclear, but the involvement of microbiota offered new insights into potential therapeutic approaches.
