Untreated acne affects psychosocial well-being in adulthood

 Adolescent and adult acne is thought to have long-term effects on socioeconomic status and health-related quality of life. The current study estimated the prevalence of treated and untreated acne in a national cross-sectional study of 17,428 blood donors aged 18-35 years and examined the long-term effects.


As a result, 20.6% of subjects were identified as treated acne and 7.8% as untreated acne. Neither was associated with long-term effects on total earnings, but treated acne was associated with students or highly skilled employees. Untreated acne was commonly associated with self-employment. In addition, untreated acne was associated with decreased mental health-related quality of life and increased odds ratios of depressive symptoms.
