 Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition affecting millions of people worldwide. It can cause physical and emotional distress due to its visible appearance and potential for scarring. In this study, researchers examined the quality of life, QOL, of acne patients and identified certain risk factors associated with impaired QOL. They found that higher grade of acne, female gender, obesity, illiteracy and poverty were all associated with impaired QOL. Additionally, they noted that early identification of acne cases at risk of impaired QOL could help to take appropriate measures such as counseling and psychological interventions alongside medical treatment.
