Acne severity and the Global Acne Grading System in polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract: The GAGS may provide more precise and comprehensive information about acne severity in obese or hirsute patients with PCOS because this grading system includes evaluation of the type (comedones, papules, pustules, nodules) and location (anatomic area) of acne lesions.

“…Testosterone inside the sebaceous gland is converted into dihydrotestosterone, potent androgen, which causes increase in sebum secretion and abnormal desquamation in follicular epithelial cells and that's how comedones are formed. When comedones are colonized with bacteria, papules and pustules may be seen [9]. Despite the enormous amount of research, acne pathogenesis is not completely understood.…”

“…Almost three quarter of acnetic women had clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenemia [8]. Acne is a pilosebaceous unit disorder, characterized by excess amount of sebum production, abnormal follicular epithelial differentiation, desquamated epithelial cells clogging the pilosebaceous follicles and inflammation [8,9]. and though acne is not a good marker of hyperandrogenism, It was found in 53% of PCOS patients representing the second most common symptom [10].…”

“…Self-assessment of acne, seborrhea (facial oiliness) and erythema (redness) were scored from 0-10 using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before the operation and postoperative months 1, 3 and 6. At each visit, the digital photographs of all of the patients were taken, and their Global Acne Grading Score (GAGS) and Seborrheic Dermatitis Area Severity Index (SDASI) were evaluated by the same dermatologist (PU) (11)(12)(13). According to GAGS, each facial localization was graded by a different score as follows; forehead and left and right cheek: 2, nose and chin: 1, chest and back: 3.…”
