Epithelial turnover was compared on the faces and backs of normal and acne subjects using autoradiographs prepared after intra-dermal injection of tritiated thymidine, glycine and histidine. The percentage of thymidine labelled nuclei in the epidermis, sebaceous follicles and open and closed comedones was determined. The movement of glycine or histidine labelled horny cells into comedones was followed.No differences in cellular kinetics were found between acne and non-acne subjects. Turnover of the facial epidermis was almost twice as fast as of the back epidermis. Follicle labelling was similar to the contiguous epidermis.The labelling index of the comedo was much greater than in the normal sebaceous follicle. Cellular multiplication was faster in closed than in open comedones.Labelled horny cells moved in an elliptical band into the substance of the open comedo. Labelled cells eventually sloughed through the patulous orifice. This did not happen in closed comedones up to the maximum time of observation (2 months).Comedo formation is the resultant of two abnormalities: 1. increased formation of horny cells and 2. increased coherence.
