Aim: Acne vulgaris can severely affect social and psychological functioning. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of acne vulgaris and its severity on Quality of Life (QoL) of young adolescents in Greece.Methods: We conducted a questionnaire based survey among 1560 adolescent between the ages of 11 and 19 years old and 1531 of these were completed. Adolescents with acne filled all the questions including the Children Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI). Adolescents without acne filled the questions about age, family history of acne, stress and smoking. Data were analyzed with Pearson Chi Square test.Results: Acne prevalence was 51, 2% affecting equally both sexes. Self reported mild acne was present in 71, 2% and moderate-severe acne in 28, 8% of the study population. The mean age of the study population was 15, 77y. The median score of CDLQI was 4,02. The impact of acne on quality of life is associated with the severity of acne (p<0,0001). Patients with moderate/severe acne experience greater psychosocial and emotional impairment. (p<0,0001). Body image is modified proportionally to the severity of acne (p<0,0001). Symptoms and treatment of acne are factors that also influence their quality of life. Girls and boys are equally affected. Stress and heredity are correlated with acne and its severity (p<0,0001). We didn’t find any correlation between smoking and acne. Conclusion: Acne affects Quality of Life of young adolescents in Greece. The impact is proportional to the severity of acne. More severe acne is associated with greater effect on quality of life with implications for self esteem, body image and relationships with others.
