A strongly comedogenic mineral oil induced histologically and enzyme-histochemically detectable changes in the follicles and sebaceous gland ducts in the skin of rabbit ears. These correlate to findings concerning acne vulgaris in humans. The rabbit ear model thus appears to be suitable for experimental studies into acne vulgaris.
