Correlação entre acne, perfil lipídico e glicêmico: um estudo sobre os possíveis impactos na saúde da pele.

Abstract

Acne is one of the most common dermatological conditions, affecting individuals of various ages and backgrounds. While many treatment approaches focus on alleviating the visible symptoms of acne, such as inflammatory lesions and comedones, it is essential to understand that skin condition goes beyond what is apparent on the surface. This work explored and analyzed potential factors that influence the skin health of a patient with acne, investigating how lipid and glycemic changes may contribute to the development and worsening of acne, as studies have shown a relationship between these metabolic changes and acne. Thus, this is a descriptive qualitative study, including only female participants aged between 18 and 28 years with acne-prone skin classified as: grade I, grade II, or grade III. The study involved clinical history taking, blood test analysis, bioimpedance analysis, recording of body measurements and blood pressure, and facial image recording. A total of seven participants were analyzed, with four participants showing an influence of glycemic factors, while the influence of lipid factors was observed in only one participant. By identifying factors related to the onset of acne, it is possible to assist esthetics professionals in primary health care, guiding treatments and prescribing cosmetic products for patients.
