“…The occurrence of acne naturally correlates with age and mainly affects people during adolescence . In line with this, we found that acne commonly affected the 18–39 years age groups (23.7%), which underlines the representative nature of the examined population.…”

Background Skin diseases are ranked as the fourth most common cause of human illness, resulting in an enormous non‐fatal burden. Despite this, many affected people do not consult a physician. Accordingly, the actual skin disease burden might be even higher since reported prevalence rates are typically based on secondary data that exclude individuals who do not seek medical care. Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of skin diseases in an unreferred population in a real‐life setting. Methods A cross‐sectional study of 9 days duration was performed in 2016 at the ‘Bavarian Central Agricultural Festival’, which is part of the Munich Oktoberfest. As part of a public health check‐up, screening examinations were performed randomly on participating visitors. All participants were 18 years or older and provided written informed consent. Results A total of 2701 individuals (53.5% women, 46.2% men; mean age 51.9 ± 15.3 years) participated in the study. At least one skin abnormality was observed in 1662 of the participants (64.5%). The most common diagnoses were actinic keratosis (26.6%), rosacea (25.5%) and eczema (11.7%). Skin diseases increased with age and were more frequent in men (72.3%) than in women (58.0%). Clinical examinations showed that nearly two‐thirds of the affected participants were unaware of their abnormal skin findings. Conclusion Skin diseases might be more common than previously estimated based on the secondary data of some sub‐populations. Further information and awareness campaigns are needed to improve people's knowledge and reduce the global burden associated with skin diseases.

“…In this way, the hormonal effect on sebum secretion is a key to the pathogenesis of acne. [12][13][14][15][16] During puberty, alteration of the sebum component, called dysseborrhea, stress, irritation, cosmetics, and potential dietary factors lead to the formation of acne lesions. 16 Changes in sebum secretion are considered to be an important factor of acne.…”

Background and Aim: Acne is a common skin disease resulting from a complex interaction of various pathogenetic factors. The aim of this study was to find out lipid profile abnormalities in acne vulgaris patients. Material and Methods: This descriptive analytic cross-sectional study was conducted on 45 acne patients and 45 age-and sex-matched healthy controls to assess plasma total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and triglyceride (TG) levels. Results: We showed a higher cholesterol level in acne patients (P=0.025), particularly in men (P=0.04). Other plasma lipids including TG, LDL, and HDL in male and female patients were higher compared to controls, but this is not statistically significant. Discussion and Conclusion: In conclusion, lipid profile was altered in our patients, with high cholesterol level as the commonest derangement, particularly in men. Therefore, screening for lipid profile abnormalities could be considered in the treatment of acne patients.

“…Acne vulgaris affected approximately 80% of patients between 12 and 25 years old without regard to differences in sex and ethnicity (Goh et al, 2019). While the onset of AV varies across age groups, it commonly occurs during puberty and young adulthood and tends to decrease with increasing age (Gollnick, 2015;Wolkenstein et al, 2018); however, persistent and late-onset acne can occur in some patients, for whom acne persists until the fourth and the fifth decade or has its initial onset at an advanced age, respectively (Degitz & Ochsendorf, 2017).…”

“…Acne vulgaris is characterized by pleomorphic lesions, including comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts, which appear in the predilection area. It most frequently appears on the face, neck, shoulders, upper arms, upper chest, and upper back, as well as in other areas that contain sebaceous glands (Degitz & Ochsendorf, 2017). While self-recovery can be observed in clinical settings, the sequelae can be lifelong with complications of scar formation (Goh et al, 2019).…”

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is an inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit, which often causes stress and disrupts quality of life. Correctly identifying precipitating factors and preventing disease development will holistically increase the effectiveness of acne therapy, enabling better therapeutic outcomes to be achieved. Purpose: The objective of this study is to identify the clinical profile and precipitating factors of AV patients who visited Dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital between 2015 until 2017. Methods: This was a descriptive study, using a retrospective case study approach. The sample data was collected from medical records of AV patients from the period of 2015–2017 who met the following inclusion criteria: new AV cases with a complete medical record including gender, age, and precipitating factors. The dependent variable of this study was new AV patients, while the independent variables were the patient clinical profile and precipitating factors. Results: This study included 930 samples, with the number of female patients significantly higher (75.48%) than the number of males. The highest AV prevalence was found in the 15–24 years age group. The most common precipitating factors in females were hormonal issues, stress, and cosmetics; in males, these were stress, genetics, and dietary factors. Conclusion: The incidence of AV at Dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital mostly occurs in the 15–24 years age group, with varying trigger factors. The most frequent AV trigger factor in female patients was hormonal issues; in males, this was stress.
