Abstract
Acne vulgaris is a common skin disease with prevalence reaching up to 80% during adolescence. Major complications of acne are scarring and psychosocial distress which persists long after the active lesions have disappeared. Its onset in adolescence may add to the emotional and psychological challenges experienced during this period, and it can lead to the developmental issues of body image, socialization, and sexuality. Psychological issues such as dissatisfaction with appearance, embarrassment, self-consciousness, lack of self-confidence, and social dysfunction such as reduced/avoidance of social interactions with peers and opposite gender, reduced employment opportunities have been documented.
