ABSTRACT
Objective:
To determine the prevalence situation of adult female acne (AFA) patients and to explore the risk factors related to AFA.Methods:
From September 2019 to June 2020, 290 female acne patients aged from 25 to 48 (29.57±4.50) years were surveyed with a questionnaire of risk factors and the prevalence situation of acne in the acne clinic of the Department of Dermatology, Wuxi No.2 Hospital Affiliated with Nanjing Medical University.Results:
AFA occured more frequently in the jaw (95.17%), cheek (93.79%) and forehead (89.66%). Recurrent acne (38.62%) and comedonal acne (50.34%) more commonly occured. Cosmetics, endocrine, diet, genetics and other factors aggravated AFA. Age ( H=7.286, P>0.05; F=0.122, P>0.05), gonadal hormone concentrations ( Z=-0.365, P>0.05; χ 2=0.276, P>0.05), menstrual cycle ( Z=-0.274, P>0.05; χ 2=0.217, P>0.05), genetics ( Z=-1.244, P>0.05; χ 2=1.771, P>0.05) made no difference to acne grading and types. Excessive use of cosmetics could lead to increased comedo (χ 2=7.097, P<0.05). Cosmetics had no difference to acne grading ( Z=-0.065, P>0.05). Gonadal hormone concentrations were uncorrelated with menstrual cycle (χ 2=1.397, P>0.05).Conclusions:
The pathogenesis of AFA is related to a variety of factors, which affect the skin barrier function and require comprehensive treatment.
