Abstract

 

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceous glands & is the leading cause of visits to dermatologists. It is common during adolescence, which isa time period of physical and emotional development. Acne involves the face affecting one’s view of beauty and self worth, thus a person already susceptible develops significant psychosocial disability resulting in anxiety, anger to depression. Assessing QoL at baseline provides important information about patients perceptions at the start of the therapy and an added perspective to the assessment of new therapies . But the scarce use of QoL tools is a major hindrance to developing a strong relationship between patients of acne and their mental health services. Quality of life measurements in acne vulgaris can be basically divided into two types ie, either Dermatology Specific Measures or Disease Specific Measures. Thus, taking this into consideration, the purpose of this article is to explore “Acne vulgaris and Quality of Life”. Hence, “subjective” impairment in the Quality of Life has to be addressed conjointly in addition to treating the acne according to its severity for a comprehensive management of the patient.
