Analyzing Acneiform Eruptions: Insights from a Tertiary Center's Cross-sectional Study
Keywords:
acneiform eruptions, dermatology, tertiary center, cross-sectional study, clinical characteristics, medication-induced eruptions, histopathology, triggering factorsAbstract
Background: Acneiform eruptions encompass a diverse group of dermatological conditions that share clinical features resembling acne vulgaris. These eruptions can result from various underlying causes, including medication-induced reactions, systemic diseases, and primary skin conditions. Understanding the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and associated factors of acneiform eruptions is essential for accurate diagnosis and management. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the spectrum of acneiform eruptions among patients presenting to a tertiary center.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of patients with acneiform eruptions who visited a tertiary dermatology center between 2020-2022. Data were collected through a thorough clinical examination, medical history review, and laboratory investigations when necessary. The demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, histopathological findings, and potential triggering factors of acneiform eruptions were systematically recorded and analyzed.
Conclusions: This cross-sectional study provides a comprehensive overview of the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of acneiform eruptions in a tertiary dermatology center. Our findings underscore the importance of a detailed evaluation to identify potential causative factors and guide appropriate management strategies. Increased awareness and understanding of acneiform eruptions can aid dermatologists in making accurate diagnoses and optimizing patient care. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term outcomes and treatment responses of patients with acneiform eruptions, especially those associated with specific triggering factors.
