Abstract
Acne vulgaris is a medical condition that
affects all people at some point in their lives,
mainly adolescents, but acne may persist, begin or
become more severe in adulthood. Acne affects
mostly the face, but also can affects the back and
chest. Acne is not a serious health problem but, it
can result in scarring that is difficult to correct,
long-lasting and detrimental psychosocial and
physical effects. Teenage acne is associated with
increased levels of hormones, whereas adult acne
is associated with hormonal fluctuation. According
to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the
main causes for acne are heat and dampness. As
part of Chinese medicine, acupuncture is used for
treating many conditions. It works by correcting
the root cause of many conditions, including the
causes of acne. The treated patient is 24 years old,
