Resumo

Acne is a genetic-hormonal condition characterized by moderate to severe blemishes that occur due to the buildup of sebum on hair follicles through follicular hyperkeratinization. It may be inflammatory or non-inflammatory and is self-limiting, meaning that it tends to evolve to resolution naturally. However, more severe cases may require prolonged treatment to avoid the aggravation of the condition and permanent scars. The objective this study was evaluate the impact of acne on the quality of life of adolescents and determine associations with lifestyle and eating habits. A descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted with Brazilian adolescents aged 14 to 18 years at public schools. Data collection involved the administration of a questionnaire addressing socio-demographic information, the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) and the Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI). The prevalence of acne was 100%. According to the GAGS, 76.63% had mild acne, 21.99% had moderate acne and 1.37% severe acne. Based on the CADI score, 70.45% of the sample had mild impact, 25.12% had moderate impact and 3.44% had severe impact. The statistical analysis of these variables revealed significant results (p <0.05), but Pearson's coefficient revealed a weak correlation (r = 0.265). The present findings demonstrate that the impact of acne on the quality of life of adolescents is directly proportional to its severity. It is necessary to disseminate knowledge on the issue to the population to reduce the impact of this condition.
