TLDR Acne is the most common skin issue in Qassim Province, especially among young adults.
The study on skin diseases in Qassim Province, Saudi Arabia, analyzed data from 2775 patients and found that acne vulgaris was the most common diagnosis (49.2%), followed by hair disorders (15.6%) and dermatitis (9.2%). Females were more frequently affected by pilosebaceous and hair disorders, and the majority of patients were young adults aged 15-34 years. The study indicates a shift in the prevalence of skin disorders, with an increase in pilosebaceous disorders compared to previous years, and suggests the need for more extensive epidemiological studies for accurate prevalence estimates.
