背景报道新冠肺炎暴发中痤疮增加的出版物数量有限。目的了解新冠肺炎大流行期间医务人员痤疮的病程、临床特点及可能的危险因素。方法172名医生，其中女性159名，男性13名，平均年龄35.03±5.27岁。采用自填式在线问卷调查。结果在新冠肺炎大流行期间，45.35%的参与者报告他们的痤疮抱怨增加，27.33%的参与者报告复发，7.56%的参与者报告首次发生。新发痤疮最常见的部位是下巴(78.26%)。女性参与者的数量、吸烟、压力增加和口罩使用率在首次发生、复发或增加痤疮的组中被发现高于痤疮主诉保持不变或减少的组(p<；0.05)。在痤疮复发或增加的组中，成人起病的痤疮、疤痕的存在以及在新冠肺炎大流行之前使用系统性痤疮治疗的情况比痤疮主诉没有变化或减少的组更常见(p<；0.05)。结论：几乎一半的参与者报告痤疮增加。超过三分之一的参与者报告说，他们的粉刺复发了，或者他们是第一次长粉刺。除了使用外科口罩外，人们还发现，压力增加、吸烟、成人发病的痤疮、疤痕的存在以及既往系统性痤疮治疗等因素都是导致痤疮发生的原因。
Background There are a limited number of publications reporting an increase in acne in the COVID-19 outbreak. Objective The study aimed to evaluate the course and the clinical features of acne and possible risk factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in healthcare workers. Method A total of 172 physicians (female, n = 159, male; n = 13, mean age = 35.03 +/- 5.27 years) who had acne in any period of their life were included in the study. A self-administered online questionnaire was applied. Results During the COVID-19 pandemic, 45.35% of the participants reported that their acne complaints increased, 27.33% reported relapses, and 7.56% reported occurrence for the first time. Newly formed acne was reported most frequently on the chin (78.26%). The number of female participants, smoking, increased stress, and the rate of surgical mask use were found to be higher in the group whose acne occurred for the first time, relapsed, or increased than in the group whose acne complaints were unchanged or decreased (p < 0.05). In the group whose acne relapsed or increased, adult-onset acne, presence of scar, and use of systemic acne treatment before the COVID-19 pandemic were more common than in the group whose acne complaints were unchanged or decreased (p < 0.05). Conclusion Almost half of the participants reported an increase in acne. More than a third of the participants reported that their acne relapsed or they had acne for the first time. In addition to the use of surgical masks, factors such as increased stress, smoking, adult-onset acne, presence of scar, and previous systemic acne treatment were found to be responsible for acne development.
