Transgender persons receiving hormonal therapy face health disparities related to acne, but the effect of acne on psychosocial health and their access to dermatologic care are not well understood. In this study, we explored the lived experiences of acne and acne treatment 26 transgender persons recruited from private tertiary endocrinology & dermatology clinics and public safety-set multidisciplinary gender centers in Atlanta. Semi-structured 60-minute interviews were conducted, transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed deductively using the social ecological model and minority stress theory frameworks and inductively.
