Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceousunits.Complications of acne like scarring and psychosocial distress persists long after active lesions have disappeared (2). Present study aims to study the impact of acne vulgaris on quality of life in patients with acne. Materials and methods: A hospital based prospective study was done on patients with acne vulgaris. Patients with acne vulgaris of age group 16-35 years were included in the study. Patients with chronic co-morbidities which can affect the quality of life and patients not willing to give consent were excluded from the study. Acne vulgaris was graded using a simple grading system and QoL was assessed using DLQI questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 17. Results: 100 patients were included in the study. Mean age was 24.02 and most affected age group was 21-25 years of age. Majority were females(64%). Grade 2 acne was the commonest type seen. Mean DLQI was 8.09 and majority of patients had moderate effect on QoL. Pearsons correlation obtained on comparing acne grading with DLQI was 0.269 suggesting a significant weak positive correlation. Conclusion: The present study observed moderate impact on QoL in most of the patients. Since acne definitely has a significant impact on QoL,present study highlights the need for measurement of QoL in every patient with acne through questionnaire so that patients with impaired QoL can be identified and counselled accordingly.

Acne vulgaris, a prevalent inflammatory skin condition, significantly impacts individuals worldwide, particularly adolescents and adults. Its chronic nature, associated sequelae, and psychosocial impact underscore the substantial burden it poses. Current treatment guidelines primarily address facial acne, with limited guidance on managing truncal acne. Personalized approaches are increasingly recognized as essential for tailoring treatments to individual patient needs. This review integrates insights from an Indian Dermatology Experts' Meeting, featuring perspectives from nine leading dermatologists. Discussions centered on analyzing acne's burden, its effects on quality of life (QoL), unmet needs in management, trifarotene's role in Indian therapy, anticipated challenges, and the importance of ancillary care. The experts highlighted acne's profound impact on patients' QoL and identified gaps in current management guidelines, especially concerning truncal acne. Trifarotene, a fourth-generation topical retinoid approved by the FDA and Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) for facial and truncal acne, demonstrated safety and efficacy across age groups. This synthesis of expert perspectives underscores the need for personalized acne management. Trifarotene emerges as a promising therapeutic option but challenges remain, particularly in optimizing ancillary care to minimize treatment-related adverse effects. Addressing these issues will enhance treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction in acne management, emphasizing the importance of tailored approaches in clinical practice.
