The psychological impact of acne is determined by various factors including age, sex, personality, grade of disease, scarring, and environmental and ethnic background. Apart from managing the clinical manifestations of acne, clinicians also have to deal with the psychological aspects of the disease by assessing patients' quality of life (QOL) and self-esteem. These measures will aid in better management of acne patients. This study examined the relationship between acne and QOL and self-esteem. The results showed that acne severity may have a considerable adverse impact on QOL and self-esteem. Dermatologists need to emphasize the psychosocial sequelae of acne through awareness programs and encourage medical treatment along with basic psychosomatic remedies in the management of acne.
痤疮的心理影响由多种因素决定，包括年龄、性别、性格、疾病分级、瘢痕形成以及环境和种族背景。除了处理痤疮的临床表现外，临床医生还必须通过评估患者的生活质量（QOL）和自尊来应对该疾病的心理方面。这些措施将有助于更好地管理痤疮患者。本研究调查了痤疮与生活质量和自尊之间的关系。结果表明，痤疮严重程度可能对生活质量和自尊产生相当大的不利影响。皮肤科医生需要通过宣传项目强调痤疮的心理社会后遗症，并在痤疮管理中鼓励药物治疗以及基本的身心疗法。
