Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Psychology
  • Social Science

Background:

  • Acne vulgaris is a prevalent skin condition with substantial physical, emotional, and social consequences.
  • The study investigates the stigma experienced by acne vulgaris patients and associated factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the level of stigma in acne vulgaris patients.
  • To identify physical, social, and psychological factors contributing to stigma.

  • Recruited individuals aged 12-45 diagnosed with acne vulgaris.
  • Collected demographic data, acne severity, and scar severity.
  • Administered quality of life, depression, anxiety, and stigmatization scales.

Main Results:

  • Acne severity positively correlated with quality of life impact and stigmatization scores.
  • Higher stigmatization scores linked to increased depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life.
  • No statistically significant differences in stigma or psychosocial impact were found across age groups.

Conclusions:

  • A strong link exists between acne severity and psychosocial issues, regardless of patient age.
  • Routine psychosocial screening is advised for all acne vulgaris patients, particularly those with severe conditions.
