ABSTRACT
A stellate ganglion block is frequently used in the pain clinic. It has been known that a stellate ganglion block maintains the homeostasis of hormones by improvement of blood supply to the brain. Therefore it has a systemic effect as well as a regional effect. Androgen, the sebaceous gland, hair follicle and bacteria are involved in pathogenesis of acne. The background for the treatment of acne with a stellate ganglion block can be related to the increase of blood supply to the face and the effect on the pineal gland. We administered a stellate ganglion block for the treatment of acne and had good results. From our experience, we consider a stellate ganglion block as the one of the effective treatment of acne.
