Ecto-acne is a strange disease causing severe physical debilitation, resulting from direct exposure of human flesh to concentrated amounts of ectoplasm. Symptoms of ecto-acne include a terrible outbreak of acne which covers the whole face, and physical weakness that could lead to death.
History[]
Vlad Plasmius[]
In college, Vlad was infected with ecto-acne during an accident in which a prototype ghost portal overloaded and blasted him in the face with ectoplasmic energy; Vlad was subsequently hospitalized for years, destroying his social life and his chances at winning over Maddie Fenton.[1] Unbeknownst to Vlad and anyone else, however, the ectoplasm would gradually become infused with his DNA and so transform him into a human/ghost hybrid.
Sam Manson and Tucker Foley[]
Later, Vlad once again suffers a case of ecto-acne. He infects Sam and Tucker with it as well, forcing Danny to find a cure.[2]
Jack Fenton (alternate timeline)[]
In the alternate timeline depicted in 'Masters of All Time," Jack is caught in the blast of his prototype portal instead of Vlad, getting infected with ecto-acne as well as gaining the ghost powers that Vlad has in the present timeline.[2]
Cure[]
The only known cure for ecto-acne is ecto-purifier. It is revealed in "Masters of All Time" that Vlad caught his first case of ecto-acne due to Jack using diet cola, instead of ecto-purifier, in his prototype ghost portal. Ecto-acne can wear off on its own as well, though this process can take years. In Vlad's case, the ectoplasm as had initially infected his face would (unbeknownst to him and those medics assigned to him) gradually spread to and overtake/mutate the rest of his body, Vlad being hospitalized for years as the substance ultimately became infused with his DNA and so transformed him into a human/ghost hybrid.
