Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris is common in adolescents and young adults and can decrease quality of life. Self-medication with creams containing topical corticosteroids is still prevalent and has the potential to trigger inflammatory acne. Objective: This study assessed the relationship between exposure to steroid-containing creams and the appearance of inflammatory acne. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among adolescents and young adults aged 15–41 years with acne complaints, recruited via an online questionnaire using consecutive sampling (n = 110). Topical steroid exposure (yes/no) and inflammatory acne occurrence (yes/no, assessed using reference lesion images) over the past 3 months were the primary independent and outcome variables, respectively. The association was evaluated using the Pearson chi-square test, with prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Of 110 subjects (mean age, 22.95 years; 54.5% female), 28.2% reported topical steroid exposure and 69.1% had inflammatory acne. The proportion of inflammatory acne was significantly higher in the exposed group (90.3%) than in the unexposed group (55.7%), with a PR of 1.62 (95% CI, 1.28–2.06; p = 0.001). The dominant symptoms in the inflammatory acne subgroup were a burning/heat sensation (56.6%) and pain (50.0%). Conclusion: Topical steroid exposure was significantly associated with inflammatory acne in this population. These findings underscore the need to avoid unsupervised use of steroid-containing anti-acne creams. The cross-sectional design limits causal inference; therefore, prospective studies with clinical confirmation and control of confounding factors are warranted.

Abstract

Aesthetic procedures are increasingly performed worldwide and are associated with improved appearance satisfaction and quality of life. The success of aesthetic procedures is no longer measured solely by objective clinical outcomes but is increasingly evaluated using patient-reported outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate changes in quality of life before and after facial aesthetic surgery and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. This online survey-based pre-post analytical observational study used a structured questionnaire administered to adults aged 18 years or older who had undergone surgical or non-surgical facial cosmetic procedures within the previous 3–12 months. Quality of life was assessed using three FACE-Q domains: Appearance (23 items), Health-Related Quality of Life (10 items), and Adverse Effects (6 items), with each domain scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 100. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. A total of 180 patients were included in the analysis (mean age, 30.26 ± 8.24 years; 53.9% underwent non-surgical procedures, and 46.1% underwent surgical procedures). Appearance scores improved from 52.48 ± 7.97 to 83.89 ± 8.02, Health-Related Quality of Life scores improved from 51.22 ± 8.74 to 84.12 ± 7.62, and Adverse Effects scores improved from 47.73 ± 8.79 to 80.92 ± 8.74 (all p < 0.001). Improvements in the non-surgical group were +32.23, +33.75, and +32.81 points, respectively, whereas the surgical group demonstrated improvements of +30.46, +31.90, and +33.61 points, respectively (all p < 0.001). Post-treatment scores were comparable between the non-surgical and surgical groups for Appearance (84.81 vs. 82.81; p = 0.094), Health-Related Quality of Life (85.08 vs. 82.99; p = 0.066), and Adverse Effects (80.49 vs. 81.41; p = 0.485). Overall, both surgical and non-surgical facial cosmetic procedures resulted in substantial and comparable improvements in appearance satisfaction and quality of life, supporting patient-reported outcomes as a key indicator of successful aesthetic treatment.
