The impaired quality of life was associated with education and family history (p<0.05). Relatively more impaired aspects of life were physical symptoms (67%), one’s own perception of acne (68%) and interference with work/studies (60%).
Conclusion: The impact of acne on physical symptoms and self-confidence of people affected their mental health. As a result, these patients found difficulties in studies, work, and their social life. Knowledge about one’s ailment, early access to treatment and improved compliance significantly improves one’s quality of life.
