Hormonal factors were the most common determinant thought to worsen acne (80.6%), followed by dirt (72.4%), inadequate sleep (65.5%), cosmetics (58.2%), and stress (55.8%), whereas frequent facial washing and exercise were the least common (4.8% each). The most common information source utilized by patients was friends (40.9%), followed by digital media (36.8%). Both males and females felt their acne greatly affected their quality of life.
