Abstract
Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological condition that often affects psychological well-being, with depression, anxiety and reduced quality of life being frequently observed. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the psychological impact of acne and its relationship with clinical severity in the Indian population. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 207 patients, assessing psychological status using established tools. Results showed a positive correlation between acne severity and higher levels of depression, anxiety and poorer quality of life. This research advances knowledge by highlighting the need for integrated care that addresses both the dermatological and psychological aspects of acne.
