Short answer
Monitor hormone levels and inflammatory markers, use customized skin care, and consult a dermatologist for severe cases.
Chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands with the formation of comedones, papules and pustules
The mechanism in three steps, and where you can intervene.
Trigger
Hormonal fluctuations (androgens), stress, improper skin care
Mechanism
Overproduction of sebum + hyperkeratinization → follicle blockage → proliferation of C. acnes → inflammation
Symptom
Comedones, inflamed papules/pustules, post-inflammatory pigmentation

How each marker relates to acne and acne disease.
Acne develops from a combination of four factors: excess sebum production, hyperkeratinization of hair follicles, proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes bacteria and inflammation. Hormonal changes (especially androgens), stress, certain medications (steroids, lithium) and improper care aggravate the condition.
If acne persists, it is important to check the hormonal profile (testosterone, DHEA), inflammatory markers (CRP), vitamin D levels and carbohydrate metabolism indicators. You can upload test results to Axioris and track the dynamics of these parameters, which helps to identify the hidden causes of acne.
Consultation with a dermatologist is necessary for cystic forms of acne, no effect of home care for more than 3 months, or the appearance of scars. Women with acne and menstrual irregularities may require examination by a gynecologist-endocrinologist.
Self-medication with aggressive agents (alcohol lotions, mechanical cleaning) often worsens the condition. It is important to use non-comedogenic cosmetics and gentle cleansers. Failure to control concomitant factors (stress, nutrition, hormonal imbalance) also reduces the effectiveness of therapy.
«Axioris помог структурировать всё, что я сдала за год. Раньше результаты просто лежали в папке — теперь вижу динамику.»
«Инсулин натощак оказался высоким, хотя глюкоза была норм. Это объяснило набор веса. Без системного подхода не увидела бы.»
«Использовала мини-диагностику без регистрации — уже за 2 минуты получила список из 4 анализов. Точечно, без лишнего.»

Research has linked worsening acne to high glycemic index foods and dairy products. However, the reaction is individual - in Axioris you can keep a food diary and compare it with the dynamics of the rash.
Hormonal acne is often localized in the lower face and neck and worsens before menstruation. It is confirmed by analysis for androgens (testosterone, DHEA) and requires an integrated approach with correction of hormonal levels.
Vitamin D deficiency correlates with the severity of acne due to its anti-inflammatory effects. The optimal level (50-80 ng/ml) supports the skin barrier function. In Axioris you can track the dynamics of D₃ and the dosage of supplements.
In addition to the standard hormonal profile, adults should check cortisol (for stress), TSH (hypothyroidism can worsen acne) and ferritin (anemia worsens skin condition). All these markers can be controlled in the Axioris app.
The first improvements with proper therapy appear after 4-6 weeks, lasting results after 3-6 months. Axioris conveniently records skin changes in parallel with the dynamics of laboratory parameters.
