BACKGROUND
Acne, the most common problem that presents to dermatologists, can persist beyond teen years. Although its physical and psychosocial impact is studied in teen years, it is poorly understood in the Indian adult population.
AIM
To study the physical and psychosocial impact of acne in adult females.
SETTINGS AND DESIGN
This exploratory study was done in the university setting.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Eleven adult, unmarried females, between the age group of 18 and 25 years, having (mild-to-moderate), acne, for two consecutive years, were interviewed using a semi-structured clinical interview of the Skindex, a quality-of-life measure for patients with skin disease, developed by Chren et al., along with some open-ended questions. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis was done to analyze the data.
RESULTS
The results indicated a higher level of emotional and social impairment, in terms of the feelings of physical discomfort, anger, and the intermingling impact of these, among the participants.
CONCLUSIONS
Acne is a common problem among adults and appears to have a considerable impact on the mental health, therefore, for the treatment to be successful, a sympathetic approach by doctors and significant others, with the basic psychosomatic treatment, are necessary.
背景
痤疮是皮肤科医生遇到的最常见问题，可能持续到青少年时期之后。虽然其对身体和心理社会的影响在青少年时期已得到研究，但在印度成年人群体中却知之甚少。
目的
研究痤疮对成年女性身体和心理社会的影响。
设置与设计
本探索性研究在大学环境中进行。
材料与方法
对11名年龄在18至25岁之间、连续两年患有（轻度至中度）痤疮的成年未婚女性，使用由Chren等人开发的Skindex半结构化临床访谈进行访谈，Skindex是一种针对皮肤病患者的生活质量测量工具，同时还提出了一些开放式问题。对数据进行了定性和定量分析。
结果
结果表明，参与者在身体不适、愤怒以及这些情绪的交织影响方面，存在较高程度的情绪和社会功能损害。
结论
痤疮在成年人中是一个常见问题，并且似乎对心理健康有相当大的影响，因此，为使治疗取得成功，医生和其他重要人员采取同情的态度并结合基本的心身治疗是必要的。
