“…Similar research was conducted the same year in Bangladesh which also supports the point along with the Pakistani study of 2009 which is also consistent with previous findings that diet plays an immense role in AV 31 . Even though gender demarcations have been reasonably highlighted in the past researches 31 , nevertheless in our study there was a high prevalence of AV reported in males 52.4% while 47.6 % females in the sample respectively (Table 1). Consistent with our findings, according to a study conducted in Malaysia male students were purportedly more temperately severe acne sufferers as paralleled to female students 32 .…”

Background: Acne Vulgaris (AV) is one of the most common prevalent dermal condition and is testified to have affected 80% of the world's populace around the vividly marked ages of 13 to 30 years. The current study is designed to investigate the association among acne and multifactorial pathogenesis along with social factors and psychological impacts on effected individuals. Methodology: A survey-based study on a sample of 500 subjects was conducted from February 2016 to October 2016. A structured questionnaire classified into different sections concerning the demographic characteristics, skin type, complexion were inquired while the lifestyle factors like smoking, drinking habits and other factors leading to AV or associated stress were also interrogated. Results: According to the study results AV was found to be more prevalent in both sexes with a slightly increased outbreak in males (52.4%) as compared to females (47.6%). There was no significant relationship observed between the breakout places of AV and its impact on self-confidence (p=0.197) whereas its impact on the subject's social involvement was significant (p<0.001). Skin type was also found significantly associated with AV outbreak (p<0.05). Apart from physiological factors, smoking was also one of the triggers for AV (p<0.05) while Stress was also correlated with acne and its severity (p<0.000). Conclusion: Despite being the most prevalent common dermal condition, AV and its associated psychological impacts had been neglected worldwide. This under-rated public health concern leads to a number of psychosocial problems leading to diminished confidence, self-esteem, rejections and even suicidal thoughts among those affected with it.

“…An observational study reported that female patients outnumber male patients in a 1.44:1 ratio and are mostly in the age range of 16-25 years (Saxena et al, 2018). Literature in Korea has also shown that females more commonly suffer from acne (Snigdha et al, 2016). Another community-based study in Iran reported that acne has an overall prevalence rate of 93.20% and is more common in females with a ratio of 1:0.4 to males (Al-Hammadi et al, 2016).…”

“…A cross-sectional study demonstrated that systemic and local hormone imbalances have a crucial role in promoting AV, with a high level of androgen associated with more severe acne, mostly because of induced sebum production (Juhl et al, 2018;Tuchayi et al, 2015). Another study showed that acne may occur in premenstrual flares due to alteration of progesterone and estrogen causing hydration in the pilosebaceous follicles (Snigdha et al, 2016). This factor has been found to have a vital role in the stimulation and differentiation of sebaceous glands that produce sebum as well as take part in follicular hyperkeratinization (Zaenglein et al, 2016).…”

“…A case-control study of dairy consumption in people with and without acne showed an elevated risk of acne proliferation due to increased milk consumption, especially lowfat/skim milk because of its lower estrogen content, which is postulated to be a protective factor in acne (Kucharska, Szmurło, & Sinska, 2016;Zaenglein, 2018). Psychological stress and cosmetic usage are also regarded as aggravating factors that proliferate acne (Saboo & Agarwal, 2019;Snigdha et al, 2016). Chronic emotional distress activates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and peripheral nerve neuropeptides that can also alter the immune physiology of the skin and cutaneous barrier function.…”

“…The clinical manifestation of acne is generally polymorphic eruptions ranging from the formation of open and closed comedones to erythematous pustules and papules, while, in more severe cases, it may include deep pustules, inflammatory nodules, and pseudocysts (Kucharska, Szmurło, & Sinska, 2016;Snigdha et al, 2016). Acne distribution usually correlates with the topmost density of the body's pilosebaceous units (Snigdha et al, 2016;Walsh, Efthimiou, & Dréno, 2016).…”

Background: Acne Vulgaris (AV) is one of the most common diseases in the field of dermatology and ranks as the eighth most prevalent disease worldwide. Early management of this potentially deforming skin disease may reduce the pathophysiological burden and improve the quality of life of patients. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the pharmacotherapy for new patients with AV. Methods: This cross-sectional study used new patients with AV of the Cosmetic Division of the Outpatient Skin and Venereal Health Unit, Regional Public Hospital (RSUD) Dr. Soetomo, from January to December 2013 that were descriptively presented. The variable was the pharmacotherapy given. This study used secondary data collection by looking at the patients’ medical records. The variables studied were acne lesions and pharmacotherapy regimens, including the administration route and the medicine used. Results: The number of samples that met the inclusion criteria was 951 patients. Comedonal acne was most commonly given topical tretinoin. Papulopustular acne was most commonly given a topical combination of clindamycin and tretinoin, while acne conglobata was most commonly given a combination of topical clindamycin and tretinoin with oral doxycycline. Conclusion: The new patients with comedonal acne were mostly prescribed topical tretinoin pharmacotherapy. A pharmacotherapy combination of topical clindamycin and tretinoin was given to most new patients with papulopustular acne, whereas new patients with conglobata acne were given a pharmacotherapy combination of topical tretinoin and clindamycin with oral doxycycline.
