New research at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore suggests a link between acne and prostate cancer.
The research team investigated the acne-prostate cancer link following on recent study that concluded the acne-related bacterium Propionibacterium acnes in one third of prostate samples taken from men with prostate cancer. The tissue containing P. acnes was more likely to be inflamed, and inflammation is believed to play a significant role in the development of prostate cancer.
