several small openings - these are drainage acne. Sometimes the same process takes an
acute course, the skin over the infiltrate is painted in a bright red color, with the reveal
a large amount of manure is allocated - phlegmonous acne. The most severe type is
conglomerate (spherical) acne, which are located in deep layers of skin and
subcutaneous adipose tissue. They are large in size, with massive infiltration, and later
an abscess is formed. Separate abscesses break up with the formation of ulcers. The
course is long. After healing, uneven scars with pockets and bridges remain.
Occasionally occurs in young men and localized on the back and neck [3, 6, 10].
Depending on the shape of the rash distinguish light, moderate and severe acne.
For a mild form of acne, the appearance of a small number of comedones, papules
and pustules, which are located on limited areas of the skin and do not leave behind
changes on the skin [25].
For moderate forms of acne is characterized by a large number of comedones,
papules, pustules, as well as a few deep infiltration, which can leave scars and
pigmentary stains after it [18].
The severe form of acne is characterized by large skin lesions with comedones,
papules, pustules, and also a large number of profound infiltrative changes that leave
behind marked cicatricial changes [4].
Thus, today acne remains a serious problem for people. The pathogenesis of acne
is a complicated, multifactorial process and due to different etiological factors. This
disease covers not only the skin, but also many other organs and systems. Therefore,
success in treating acne can only be achieved if all pathogenesis is taken into account.
The treatment of this disease is a topical issue in modern medicine and should have a

Microflora of the skin. Probiotics in dermatology. Human skin is one of the
most important organs of our body.
The total surface area of the skin in a healthy adult is 1.5-2 square meters, and the
weight - from 4 to 6% of the total weight of the body. The skin is the largest organ of
the human body. Her condition depends on age, nutrition and lifestyle.
Microflora of healthy skin - it is quite resistant to external influences of the
ecosystem. Human microflora is largely regulated by the acidity (pH) of the skin.
Acidic pH refers to the main factors that make the skin "unattractive" for bacteria.
Usually, the skin temperature is slightly below normal body temperature, its surface is
slightly acidic and is mostly dry, whereas for most bacteria the neutral pH is optimal
for propagation, the temperature is 33° C and the high humidity.
In general, skin antimicrobial protection includes mechanical rigidity (resistance)
