A member asked:
Help please! is acne an activity of homeostasis.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Homeostasis is all the things that our body does to keep us healthy when life alters our equilibrium slightly. The concept of "homeostasis" is made hard both by educators and charlatans -- everything is in some sense an attempt to stay healthy, and acne is a exuberant response to oil-loving bacteria. But there's nothing magic. Acne's a serious disease that should be treated with evidence-based rx.
