“…Excessive scrubbing and cleaning efforts will not affect acne vulgaris management. 18 The result of this study was contradicted from previous studies from Lynn et al (2016) regarding the perception of the population in South Asia that acne vulgaris occurs due to poor hygiene behaviour and by Kokandi et al (2013) that as many as 80% of medical students at King Abdul Aziz University consider that the onset of acne vulgaris is due to poor hygiene behaviour. 12,19 Irrelevant results in this study can be caused by several factors, i.e., uncontrolled stress factors, because stress can trigger the release of androgen hormones by the adrenal glands and cause hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands.…”

Background: Hygiene behaviour is a person’s actions in maintaining cleanliness to prevent the spread of infectious disease by cutting off the transmission of microorganisms that cause infection both in the community and in the health service. Various diseases caused by poor hygiene behaviour are diarrhea, dengue fever, leptospirosis, acute respiratory tract infections, typhoid fever, and various skin infections. One of the infectious skin diseases that affects almost the entire population is acne vulgaris. It is the highest disease prevalence worldwide and ranked 8th with 645.499.139 sufferers. Purpose: To determine the relationship between hygiene behaviour and acne vulgaris incidence in medical students at Sebelas Maret University. Methods: This study was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. This study was conducted on 45 male medical students at Sebelas Maret University. The questionnaire used was Hygiene Inventory (HI23). Data were analyzed using Fisher's Exact correlation test. Result: There is no relationship (p = 0.720) between hygiene behaviour and acne vulgaris incidence in medical students of the Sebelas Maret University. Conclusion: Hygiene behaviour has no relationship with acne vulgaris incidence in medical students at Sebelas Maret University.

“…sweets, oily foods, milk and chocolates are generally considered to increase the severity of acne by the patients. 4 Acne occurring in the teen population, occurring in western population where high glycemic foods are consumed more, and introduction of westernized life style in non-western countries leading to increase in acne prevalence all pointed towards the role of diet as a causative factor in acne. 5 Studies conducted at the onset of this century revealed no correlation between the levels of glycemic factors and insulin in the pathogenesis of acne.…”

Background: Influence of diet and lifestyle on acne among Indian population. Objectives were to identify the clinico-epidemiological profile of patients with Acne vulgaris and to assess the fasting plasma glucose and serum insulin levels in Acne vulgaris patients and the controls and correlate them. Methods: This was a hospital-based case-control study conducted in the Department of Dermatology, Vydehi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bangalore. Study included 60 cases of acne and 60 controls (age and sex matched), attending the outpatient department. After complete history, general physical, systemic and cutaneous examination, all cases were subjected to following investigation: fasting blood sugar and serum insulin levels. Results: Acne was common in the age group 18-24 yrs (70%). In almost half the patients the age of onset was between 12-18 yrs. Commonly observed site for acne was cheeks (83.3%), forehead (66.7%), nose (55%) and chin (41.7%). The risk of developing acne was 3.5 times more among smokers than non-smokers. The mean fasting blood sugar values of cases and controls when compared showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). Our study did not find any statistically significant difference in fasting insulin levels between cases and controls. Conclusions: There was only significant difference in the Mean fasting blood glucose in cases as compared to controls. Mean fasting serum insulin level though found to be raised in cases compared to controls, does not prove statistical significance. Fasting plasma glucose was significantly raised in grade III acne as compared to other grades.
