“…We reported higher prevalence of AV by clinical examination compared to self-reported AV. This was similar to studies in other settings [17], where the prevalence of self-reported AV was lower compared to AV by clinical assessment. It is well known that patients’ perception of AV does not always correspond to the diagnosis made in clinical examination [2].…”

Objectives: The prevalence of acne vulgaris (AV) among adolescents in Kuwait has remained mostly unknown. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of AV and its predictors among adolescents in Kuwait. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 714 participants who were randomly selected from public schools using multistage cluster random sampling. The presence or absence of AV, as well as severity of AV, were assessed using the Global Acne Grading Scale. Data on risk factors and potential confounders were collected from the parents through a self-administered questionnaire, and from the adolescents by face-to-face interview. Weight and height were measured in a standardized manner. Results: Of 714 participants, 320 (44.8%; 95% CI 41.1–48.6%) self-reported AV. By clinical examination, AV was found among 479 (67.1%; 95% CI 63.5–70.5%) participants. Factors that were found to be significantly associated with AV in multivariable analysis were age, gender, nationality, and BMI categories. Females compared to males (adjusted prevalence ratio [APR] 1.16 [95% CI 1.05–1.25]; p = 0.006) and overweight or obese adolescents compared to normal weight (APR 1.15 [95% CI 1.02–1.26] and 1.14 [95% CI 1.02–1.23], respectively; p = 0.026) were more likely to have AV. None of the food items studied showed an association with AV in multivariable analysis. Conclusion: The prevalence of self-reported AV seems to be lower than that reported in other settings, while the prevalence of AV by clinical examination resembles that reported in many other countries. BMI was the only modifiable risk factor associated with AV in multivariable analysis, and none of the food items studied was related to the presence or absence of AV in multivariable analysis.

“…This finding is concurrent with several other studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Studies conducted in Saudi Arabia reported that 64% of acne cases were mild, 30.1% were moderate, and only 5.9% were severe [12][13][14]. This finding is also consistent with findings from an Indian study, which indicated that Grade I acne was the most common, affecting 60.2% of participants However, a Chinese study found that 68.4% of acne patients had moderate acne.…”

“…Acne, as a very noticeable skin problem, disrupts the lives of adolescents who are going through a variety of physical, intellectual, or emotional changes. While it is generally known that acne can cause melancholy and low self-esteem, the sociological evolution of adolescents in the twenty-first century is likely to exacerbate this effect [9,12].…”

“…Ketika remaja tidak menyukai diri mereka sendiri dan menganggap diri mereka buruk karena masalah penampilan mereka, mereka cenderung sangat fokus pada perubahan penampilan mereka dalam semua aspek atau hal-hal yang mereka lakukan dan lebih sensitif terhadap perasaan malu tentang penampilan mereka. Dalam hal ini, remaja cenderung sangat peduli dengan masalah jerawat mereka (Henshaw & Ogedegbe, 2014) bahkan dalam kegiatan yang tidak berhubungan dengan jerawat.…”

Fase remaja adalah masa ketika anak-anak menuju dewasa dan mengalami berbagai perubahan dalam hidupnya, salah satunya pada hormonal yang menyebabkan masalah jerawat. Masalah penampilan yang disebabkan oleh jerawat dapat menimbulkan berbagai dampak psikologis bagi remaja. Remaja masa kini memiliki tantangan yang berbeda karena lahir ketika teknologi mengalami kemajuan pesat sehingga mereka banyak terpapar media maupun menggunakan media sosial yang ikut menciptakan standar kecantikan yang ideal, yaitu kulit yang bersih tanpa jerawat. Penelitian kualitatif eksploratori ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui dampak psikologis yang dialami oleh remaja masa kini terhadap masalah penampilan karena jerawat dengan menggunakan metode wawancara. Partisipan penelitian merupakan remaja berusia 11-20 tahun. Analisis dilakukan dengan menentukan kata kunci jawaban peserta, kemudian menentukan kategori kata kunci ini. Setelah menemukan kategori, hubungan antara kategori dianalisis sehingga membentuk tema. Hasil menemukan bahwa setidaknya remaja mengalami lima dampak psikologis, antara lain perubahan pada self-image dan self- esteem, adanya perasaan malu dan self-consciousness, adanya komentar negatif dan penghakiman, perasaan sedih dan cemas, serta perasaan marah dan frustrasi. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa masalah penampilan karena jerawat menimbulkan berbagai dampak psikologis yang cenderung serupa pada remaja. Dampak-dampak tersebut saling terkait satu sama lain. Penelitian ini dapat membantu orang tua dari remaja yang memiliki masalah jerawat dan tenaga kesehatan dalam memberikan gambaran dampak psikologis yang mungkin terjadi kepada para remaja, sehingga dapat lebih memperhatikan kondisi psikologis remaja dalam penanganannya.
