MAIN CAUSES OF ACNE IN WOMEN

The presence of acne leads to cosmetic defects of the face, which greatly reduces a person's self-esteem. Therefore, it is relevant to assess the risk factors for acne in females (n=176). We analyzed possible risk factors for akne: bad habits, eating behavior, features of physiological processes, the presence of metabolic disorders. Results: Stress was the cause of acne in almost 2/3 of cases. Approximately in equal amounts, the causes of acne in women were the alimentary factor, metabolic disorders, and smoking. Approximately half of the cases of acne vulgaris contributed to the onset of menstruation and alcohol consumption. Conclusions: Knowing and identifying the causes of acne is the first step to preventing and treating it.
