3-methylcholanthrene and Acne Vulgaris

3-methylcholanthrene has been researched along with Acne Vulgaris in 1 studies

Methylcholanthrene: A carcinogen that is often used in experimental cancer studies.
3-methylcholanthrene : A pentacyclic ortho- and peri-fused polycyclic arene consisting of a dihydrocyclopenta[ij]tetraphene ring system with a methyl substituent at the 3-position.

Acne Vulgaris: A chronic disorder of the pilosebaceous apparatus associated with an increase in sebum secretion. It is characterized by open comedones (blackheads), closed comedones (whiteheads), and pustular nodules. The cause is unknown, but heredity and age are predisposing factors.
