“…However, it is not the first study in the world to address this issue [2,3,4,5,6,7,9,11,13,14,22,23]. A number of studies have been published on this topic across different countries and settings.…”

“…Previous studies on acne, diet and smoking were mainly the products of Western-based research, but conducted in different countries of Europe and North America [1,5,11,13,22,23] and exceptionally in Asia [2,3,4, 6,7,9]. As such, the targeted population had different smoking and eating habits (quantitatively and qualitatively), along with different genetic backgrounds.…”

“…The studies are different in terms of design, survey, case-control, recruitment, basis (school, community or hospital-based), case definitions, reports or examinations, the evaluation of risk factors, variables, variable quantification, etc. [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,14,22,23]. Considering the memory bias, we did not try to assess the exposure before the onset or first diagnosis of acne.…”

“…Studies across various countries have emphasized the link between acne and a Western lifestyle [2,3,4,6,14]. In France, the reported prevalence of acne was estimated at about 11% of the population in 2002 [15], but there is no knowledge of eating and smoking habits or their effect on acne.…”

“…Among genetic and environmental factors, dietary and smoking habits seem to play a pivotal role in the development of acne [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. Studies across various countries have emphasized the link between acne and a Western lifestyle [2,3,4,6,14].…”

Background: Dietary factors and smoking play a role in acne. Methods: CSA Santé conducted a survey in France in 2012. Each individual answered a questionnaire to report acne, with associated epidemiological variables. Data on subjects between 15 and 24 years of age were extracted. The characteristics of subjects reporting acne were compared to subjects reporting no acne, using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: The daily consumption of chocolate and sweets was independently and highly associated with acne, with an odds ratio of 2.38 (95% CI: 1.31-4.31). Smoking more than 10 cigarettes a day was highly associated with no acne, with an odds ratio of 0.44 (95% CI: 0.30-0.66). The regular use of cannabis was associated with acne, with an odds ratio of 2.88 (95% CI: 1.55-5.37). Conclusion: Chocolate, sweets and cannabis smoking are associated with acne. We found tobacco to be protective. We failed to investigate the respective roles of sugar, lipids and milk.

BackgroundAcne vulgaris, a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit associated with socialisation and mental health problems, may a ect more than 80% of teenagers. Isotretinoin is widely recognised as a very e ective treatment for severe acne; however, it may cause adverse e ects. ObjectivesTo assess e icacy and safety of oral isotretinoin for acne vulgaris. Search methodsWe searched the following databases up to July 2017: the Cochrane Skin Group Specialised Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and LILACS. We updated this search in March 2018, but these results have not yet been incorporated in the review. We also searched five trial registries, checked the reference lists of retrieved studies for further references to relevant trials, and handsearched dermatology conference proceedings. A separate search for adverse e ects of oral isotretinoin was undertaken in MEDLINE and Embase up to September 2013. Selection criteriaRandomised clinical trials (RCTs) of oral isotretinoin in participants with clinically diagnosed acne compared against placebo, any other systemic or topical active therapy, and itself in di erent formulation, doses, regimens, or course duration. Data collection and analysisWe used standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane. Main resultsWe included 31 RCTs, involving 3836 participants (12 to 55 years) with mild to severe acne. There were twice as many male participants as females.Most studies were undertaken in Asia, Europe, and North America. Outcomes were generally measured between eight to 32 weeks (mean 19.7) of therapy.

Acne represents the commonest inflammatory dermatosis seen worldwide and is the leading reason for seeing a dermatologist; a number of acne variants are described. In children, these include neonatal, infantile, mid‐childhood and prepubertal acne. Acne fulminans and acne conglobata represent severe but rare forms. Predisposing factors may be implicated in acneform dermatoses; these include medications, occupational and environmental triggers, cosmetics, systemic diseases and syndromes. This chapter describes all clinical variants and provides evidence‐based or expert opinion on management.
