The results showed that the majority of patients were female (145 out of 200), and acne of moderate severity was the most common type, found in 57% of the patients. 64% of the patients had mixed types of lesions. Seborrhea was present in 84% of patients, and hirsutism was found in 44% of female patients. A pre-menstrual flare-up was observed in 73% of females. The study found a significant relationship between gender and the degree of severity of acne, as well as between seborrhea and acne severity.
