Sažetak
Acne vulgaris is based on follicular keratosis of the sebaceous glands which occurs mainly during puberty but also during adolescence. It is one of the most frequent clinical pictures in dermatology. Although it doesn't hurt general health or overall well beeing, having acne can seriously damage psychological well being. It can be highly painful condition in an emotional sense. For teenagers whose self esteem and identity are still in a formative stage even a mild case of acne may have negative psychosocial effect. Acne can have strong impact on health related quality of life, anxiety, depression, self-consciousness, embarrassment, low self esteem and social withdrawal. The goal of this study was to investigate effect of acne on our patients and potential improvement of psychological status after the improvement of acne condition. This study included 50 patients with mild to severe acne vulgaris (22 female, 18 male patients), 14-23 years old. DSQL (dermatology specific quality of life questionnaire), APSEA, BDI (Beck`s depression inventory), MPS, STAI and general questionnaire (about gender, age, other diseases etc) were applied before the beginning of the therapy, after 5, 10, 16 weeks and after the end of the therapy. First results show significant influence of acne on quality of life, depression and anxiety, as well as an improvement of psychosocial status and quality of life after a successful therapy.
