Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological disease whose etiology and pathogenesis is multi factorial. Our study aims to assess the contribution of alteration in lipid metabolism to the pathogenesis of Acne. 35 acne patients and 35 healthy people were selected and their lipid profiles were compared. Although the parameters were high in acne patients, only elevation in triglycerides was statistically significant.And no significant difference was found among cases and controls in any other lipid profile parameters. Hence further studies are needed to determine the association of lipid profile with the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris and in the treatment of acne.
