There are no consistent data at national level by which we can evaluate the preponderance of this pathology in the Portuguese population.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objective\u2002<\/jats:bold> To estimate the prevalence of acne in teenage school students (10\u201312 year\u2010olds).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Study design\u2002<\/jats:bold> A study was carried out involving all 8 regions in the north of Portugal. One school per region was selected at random.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> As expected, the figure we obtained for the prevalence of this pathology was high (82.4%) with males being the most affected. Nevertheless, only 44% of the affected treated their acne, although the face is the part of the body most affected. In the females high androgenization (which is manifested by the presence of hair on the upper lip and on the side of the face) doubles the median of the degree of acne registered. Regional asymmetry was found in relation to information about the disorder. The degrees of acne are higher in schools in the interior. In the more rural areas, the pharmacist still plays an important role in prescribing treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> As a rule, individuals are correctly informed about acne, confirming that the search for treatment and awareness of its value are generally helping to gradually eliminate some of the stigmas from the past.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.01791.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,16]],"date-time":"2006-10-16T22:46:05Z","timestamp":1161038765000},"page":"1287-1295","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["The prevalence of acne in the north of Portugal"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"JM","family":"Amado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ME","family":"Matos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"AM","family":"Abreu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Loureiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Verde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Massa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","first-page":"166","article-title":"Acne: evolution of the clinical practice and therapeutic management of acne between 1996 and 2000","volume":"2","author":"Dreno B","year":"2003","journal-title":"Eur J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","first-page":"247","article-title":"Preval\u00eancia das les\u00f5es cut\u00e2neas em Freixo de Espada \u00e0 Cinta","volume":"13","author":"Massa A","year":"2000","journal-title":"Acta-Medical-Port"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","volume-title":"Epidemiology, Causes and Prevention of Skin Diseases.","author":"Grob JJ","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","volume-title":"Sample Size Determination in Health Studies: A Practical Manual.","author":"Lwanga SK","year":"1991"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1984.tb04020.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","first-page":"309","article-title":"The psychological status of acne patients.
