Background: Acne vulgaris is a pilosebaceous gland disease usually affecting people from puberty to young adulthood due to hormonal changes, but the exact relationship of various hormone to acne is not known. Aims:-The present study has been planned to find out the association of hormonal status with the different grades of acne vulgaris female patients.. Methods: Fifty patients each of Mild (group I), Moderate (group II) and Severe Acne Vulgaris (group III) in age group 15-40 years were included as cases. The fasting blood samples were collected on the second day of menstrual cycle of the patient and before the start of treatment. Written and informed consent was taken from all subjects in the cases and control groups after explaining about the details of the study. Results: Levels of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Estrogen, Testosterone, Insulin, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Prolactin in different grade of acne vulgaris patients were compared with control groups. Statistical analysis was done using Kruskal Wallis test and ANOVA. Conclusion: Level of LH, Estradiol,Testosterone andInsulin may be studied in cases resistant to conventional treatment of acne in women while the levels of FSH and prolactin, need not to be studied.
