What is Acne?
Acne (Latin Acne Vulgaris) is a skin disease. It primarily appears during adolescence and is the most common dermatological disorder. It usually affects the face and the upper part of the neck, while less frequently the back, chest, and shoulders.
85% of cases are adolescents, and acne often continues into adulthood.
According to research, it is mainly caused by the body's reaction to large amounts of androgen hormones, bacteria, and common allergies to various foods.
Despite permanent scars, acne primarily affects psychology, leading to low self-esteem and, according to one study, causing depression.
In a study 1 conducted on 1560 adolescents between 11 and 19 years old in Greece, it was found that it affects both sexes equally, with a rate of 51.2%. Mild acne appeared in 71.2% of cases, while more severe symptoms were present in 28.8%. It was also found that individuals who reported a more severe form of acne experience psychosocial and emotional damage. It concluded that acne affects the quality of life of young adolescents in Greece. The impact is proportional to the severity of the acne. More severe acne is associated with a greater impact on quality of life, affecting
self-esteem, body image, and relationships with others.
