Brief Summary  

Acne is one of the most prevalent skin conditions observed in adolescent which remain continued even into adulthood. This chronic condition is associated with significant negative psychosocial impact, but it is frequently underestimated. Adult acne appears to have a greater impact on quality of life than acne in adolescents or younger adults. Limited Indian studies are there analysing prescription pattern, but no Indian study was found assessing change of Quality of life (QoL) with treatment while limited data is published from outside India. This study was designed to analyse drugs prescribing pattern, effect of drug therapy on Quality of Life (QoL) and adverse event profile in Acne vulgaris patients. This information is expected to be helpful in tailoring treatment approaches, providing appropriate counselling, and improving patient outcomes.
