The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and sebum level in adult female acne. A cross sectional study was conducted with 50 samples, in June to October 2017.

Detailed description

Epidemiological studies have shown that number of adult female acne vulgaris (AV) increases. Hormone, sebum production, Propionibacterium acne and inflammatory process are factors involved in AV development. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and sebum level in adult female acne. This research used cross sectional study with 50 samples, aged 25-49 years by consecutive sampling. The degree of acne vulgaris was evaluated using Lehman criteria , and then the sebum level and DHEAS were measured objectively using sebumeter and serum, respectively.
