Abstract
Through its visible clinical aspect, acne induces a significantly impaired body image which is not correlated to clinical severity. This diminished body image and the resulting psychosocial behaviour must be considered to optimize the treatment. In addition, depressive disorders related to bodily concern are frequently observed during adolescence period and faced with these bodily transformations, acne can be a source of anxiety. It is therefore important to spot the symptoms of depression and indeed treat them if they are persistent, because they impair “self-image” and have an influence on the wish to “take care of oneself”.
