Acne is a cutaneous disease of the pilosebaceous unit in which there is abnormality in sebum production. It is characterised by both inflammatory (papules, pustules and nodules) and non–inflammatory comedones (open and closed) lesions.

In Unani literature, acne vulgaris is termed as busoorlabaniya, mohasa or keel. Busoor–e–labaniya, which means eruption of whitish discharge, resembles like milk.
