“…There are known endogenous causes for acne, including genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuation and dysfunction-especially elevated androgen levels-as well as various exogenous causes and aggravation factors, including the use of topical comedogenic substances [183,184], wearing of occlusive clothes, consumption of food with high glycemic index, exposure to stress or excessive solar radiation [179]. Higher temperature and humidity can also induce acne aggravation and flare-ups [184] by causing acute obstruction due to swollen epidermal keratinocytes [185].…”

Skin cancer is a global and increasingly prevalent issue, causing significant individual and economic damage. UV filters in sunscreens play a major role in mitigating the risks that solar ultraviolet radiation poses to the human organism. While empirically effective, multiple adverse effects of these compounds are discussed in the media and in scientific research. UV filters are blamed for the disruption of endocrine processes and vitamin D synthesis, damaging effects on the environment, inducement of acne and neurotoxic and carcinogenic effects. Some of these allegations are based on scientific facts while others are simply arbitrary. This is especially dangerous considering the risks of exposing unprotected skin to the sun. In summary, UV filters approved by the respective governing bodies are safe for human use and their proven skin cancer-preventing properties make them indispensable for sensible sun protection habits. Nonetheless, compounds like octocrylene and benzophenone-3 that are linked to the harming of marine ecosystems could be omitted from skincare regimens in favor of the myriad of non-toxic UV filters.

“…Interestingly, the vehicles were identified as the cause, while UV filters were demonstrated to be non-comedogenic. Acne provoked by sunscreen can therefore be seen as a subtype of acne cosmetica [183,187].…”

“…External factors that infl uence the incidence of acne vulgaris such as exposure to comedogenic substances, cosmetics, stress, drugs, and smoking. Endogenous risk factors aff ecting acne vulgaris are hormonal and genetic (Bansal et al, 2020). Based on research by Common et al, family history factors infl uence acne vulgaris, but research on genetic infl uences is still lacking.…”

Acne vulgaris is a skin disease, a chronic inflammation that affects the poly sebaceous glands, especially on the face and neck. One of the endogenous causes that influence the occurrence of acne vulgaris is a genetic and hormonal predisposition. Family history of acne is one of the risk factors in family genetics associated with the onset of the disease, the difficulty of therapy, and the risk for relapse. This research aimed to explain the relationship between genetic factors to the degree of acne vulgaris as one of the predisposing factors. This research was observational analytic, using purposive sampling as the sampling method and collecting data using a cross-sectional questionnaire. Statistical analysis between variables shows that age was not related (p = 0,790), while gender was not related (p = 0,066), the father's genetic history was related (p = 0,001), and mother's genetic history was not related (p = 0,390). In conclusion, among the factors that were analyzed, the father's genetic history was the only one which has a relationship in aggravating the degree of acne vulgaris.

“…According to this study, stress has a favorable relationship with the severity of acne 4 . Research done in India shows that in adult females, acne was worsened by stress 5 . According to a study conducted in Singapore, there is a positive link between sebum production and acne severity when stress levels are high 6 .…”

Background: Acne vulgaris is described as a chronic skin disease involving blockage and inflammation of pilosebaceous units. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of acne and its association with stress in female students. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out at Rawalpindi Medical University. The study included female medical students of all five years of MBBS excluding lactating and pregnant females and the ones who were diagnosed with skin disorders other than acne. The sample size was 271. A questionnaire consisting of PSS (Perceived Stress Scale) and GAGS (Global Acne Grading System) was used. Data was analyzed by using SPSS and basic statistics and Spearman correlation were applied. Results: In this study, it was found that out of a total of 271 students, 138(50.9%) students didn’t have acne, and 133(49%) did have Acne. Out of a total of 271 students, 19 (7%) students had low stress, 204 students (75.3%) had moderate stress, and 48 students (17.7%) had high perceived stress. Out of 133 who were found to have acne, 87(32.1%) of the participants had mild acne, 36(13.3%) had moderate acne, 9(3.3%) had severe acne, and 1(0.4%) had very severe acne. An increase in stress severity was moderately correlated (r=0.393) with an increase in acne severity which was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusions: Almost half of the study population was found to have Acne. A positive correlation has been found between stress and acne indicating stress as one of the causative factors of acne.
