Abstract
Acne vulgaris is a common disease affecting up to 85 % of adolescents. Localization of dermatosis in cosmetically signifiant areas, the duration of the therapy and the formation of post-acne symptoms have a high psycho-emotional load and negatively affect the quality of life. Due to the fact that acne affects the most vulnerable and socially sensitive age group, it is imperative not to overlook psychological abnormalities such as anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. This review presents the types of diagnostic scales for assessing the quality of life of patients with acne, pathogenesis and risk factors for scar formation – the main factor affecting the self-esteem of patients with acne vulgaris, and also proposed new methods of combination therapy with the use of corticosteroids and isotretinoin in the treatment of severe forms.
