Acne is a common dermatological condition primarily seen in teenage and adolescent patients and is a major concern for cosmological issues. Along with environmental factors, the proliferation of basal keratinocytes in the sebaceous-pilosebaceous unit, abnormal desquamation of follicular corneocytes, and metabolic abnormalities play a significant role in the pathogenesis of acne development. To study the causal relation between acne vulgaris and insulin resistance by calculating Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and identify the relation between insulin resistance and the severity of acne. This was a retrospective study, where the data of patients with persistent Acne Vulgaris who were referred to the Endocrine department for evaluation of the hormonal and metabolic causes for acne vulgaris were analysed. The patient's clinical records were evaluated in whom there was no significant hormonal or metabolic abnormality identified known to cause persistent acne were included after proper consent and HOMA-IR was calculated. Of several patients with persistent acne, 150 patients were included in our study with the male-to-female ratio was 23:27. The mean age of patients was 33.2 years. The mean HOMA-IR in our acne patients was 1.62 ranging from 0.9-3.7. Sixty four (42.67%) patients had HOMA-IR more than 2.0, thereby suggesting insulin resistance. Our study suggests the prevalence of insulin resistance in 42.67% of patients with acne, thereby providing the possibility of use of insulin modifiers as an adjunct acne treatment and stratifying the possible risk of metabolic syndrome in patients with acne. Also recommended is the control of dietary factors and lifestyle modification for the management of acne with insulin resistance.
