Students at the College of Medicine organized an awareness campaign on Wednesday, February 5, 2026, focusing on Acne Vulgaris, one of the most common dermatological conditions. The campaign aimed to raise public awareness about its causes, types, prevention strategies, and appropriate treatment options. The initiative highlighted the difference between inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne, discussed common triggers, and addressed common misconceptions. Students provided simplified, evidence-based information aligned with the guidelines of the Saudi Ministry of Health, emphasizing the importance of early intervention to prevent scarring and pigmentation.

The campaign included educational booths promoting proper skincare routines, discouraging harmful practices such as squeezing lesions, and encouraging consultation with a dermatologist in moderate to severe cases. This initiative reflects the students’ commitment to community service and health promotion and aligns with the College of Medicine’s mission to advance preventive healthcare practices and active community engagement.
