Draft talk:Acne mechanica

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abstract: The abstract was quite brief but did clearly outline key characteristics. I would however recommend combining the first paragraph above the abstract with the abstract.

Signs and Symptoms: The signs and symptoms were clear and concise. There was no variation listed in the signs and symptoms. I am slightly confused as to the difference between acne mechanica and regular acne.

Cause: The causes of acne mechanica were clearly stated. This section was easy to understand, and I would leave it as is.

Mechanism/Pathophysiology: The mechanism was not well explained. It was missing the physiological aspects and any pathways that are involved. For example, I would recommend explaining how the heat and irritation of rubbing affects the skin cells, which then triggers the build up of dirt/ oil, resulting in a papule/ pimple.

Diagnosis: The diagnosis process for acne mechanica was concise, yet to the point. However, I would add whether there are any types/ variations in acne mechanica, whether mild, moderate or severe.

I would also recommend adding a treatment plan section to the Wikipedia page. Bguillen1024 (talk) 02:41, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]


I believe this was very well written. Also, a great topic to read about, with an ample amount of information to help understand the condition. It was clear and concise and was an easy read. I would however, suggest checking each section for some sentences containing small grammatical errors, such as commas, that are needed in the sentences.

  • The abstract and the first piece should be combined. Remove "abstract" header.
  • All sections must be well cited.
  • Must be heavily linked to other wikipedia pages.
  • Needs some editing for clarity and grammar. If you're struggling with this, go to the writing center.
  • Mechanism is weak. Connect to what actually happens.
  • Missing several sections.
  • There's a lot of good information here, but there's still a lot missing.
