Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics, identify associated factors, and classify traditional medicine syndromes of acne vulgaris among students at Xuan Dinh High School.

Subjects & Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 101 students diagnosed with acne vulgaris. Acne severity was assessed using the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS), and traditional medicine syndromes were classified based on the 2019 guidelines from the China Dermatological AssociationClinical.

Results: Female students predominated the study group (67.33%). A high proportion of participants (80.2%) had a disease duration exceeding 2 years. The most common primary lesions were open comedones (87,13%) and inflammatory papules (59,41%). The majority of students presented with mild acne according to GAGS (84.1%). The most prevalent associated factors included late-night sleeping (67.33%) and the habit of picking or squeezing acne lesions (63.37%). The predominant traditional medicine pattern was Lung meridian wind-heat pattern (77.2%).

Conclusion: Acne vulgaris among 10th-grade students is characterized by a chronic course and mild severity. The predominant traditional medicine pattern is Lung meridian wind-heat. Lifestyle factors, particularly late sleeping and manipulation of acne lesions, play a significant role in disease status.
