Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common chronic skin disease involving blockage and inflammation of pilosebaceous units. Previous studies about lipid profile in acne patients showed variable results. Lipid profile was considered affecting sebum production. The aim of this study is to identify the correlation between lipid profile, sebum excretion levels and acne severity. This study also determines the correlation between lipid profile and sebum excretion levels. The study was conducted at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (RSCM) in Jakarta. This was a cross-sectional study with total of 30 non-obese AV patients. The subjects were divided into 3 groups based on the severity of AV. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL serum and sebum excretion levels were measured. The results revealed significant correlation between sebum excretion levels and severity of acne vulgaris (r = 0,6689, p = 0,0001). There was no correlation between total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, HDL and acne severity. Lipid profile had no correlation with sebum excretion levels. The results of this study have proven that lipid profile does not affect the severity of acne and sebum excretion levels. While increased sebum secretion will increase acne severity.
