OBJECTIVES: To determine sebum levels in Mexicans with acne and asses if there is a correlation among amount of sebum and age, gender, clinical variety and severity of acne. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out from April 2022 to March 2023 at the Dermatological Center Dr. Ladislao de la Pascua of Mexico City. Volunteers with acne participated in this study. The facial sebum was measure with Sebumeter® SM 815. RESULTS: One hundred fourteen patients were included, sebum levels in Mexicans with acne were 115.0197 ± 38.66407 μg/cm2, no correlation was found between the amount of sebum and the severity of acne. T zone had the highest amount of sebum (121 ± 10.02 μg/cm2) than U zone (84.91 ± 45.15 μg/cm2; p = 0.0001; t = 9.32). Regarding the clinical variety of acne, comedonal and papulopustular, there was no statistically significant difference in the amount of sebum (p = 0.308). CONCLUSIONS: This study shows the amount of sebum in Mexican patients with acne and suggests that the amount is not the main factor to produce acne. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

OBJETIVOS: Medir las concentraciones de sebo en pacientes mexicanos con acné y determinar si existe relación entre la cantidad de sebo y la edad, el sexo, la variedad clínica y la severidad del acné. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio transversal efectuado de abril de 2022 a marzo de 2023 en el Centro Dermatológico Dr. Ladislao de la Pascua de la Ciudad de México. Se reclutaron pacientes con acné a los que se les realizó sebometría, se utilizó Sebumeter® SM 815 para la medición. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 114 pacientes con acné; los valores de sebo en pacientes mexicanos con acné fueron de 115.0197 ± 38.66407 μg/cm2; no se encontró correlación entre la cantidad de sebo y la severidad del acné. La zona T tuvo mayor cantidad de sebo (media de 121 ± 10.02 μg/cm2) que la zona U (media de 84.91 ± 45.15 μg/cm2; p = 0.0001; t = 9.32). Referente a la variedad clínica, comedogénica y pápulo-pustulosa, no hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la cantidad de sebo (p = 0.308). CONCLUSIONES: Este estudio arroja la cantidad de sebo en pacientes con acné mexicanos y sugiere que la cantidad no es el principal factor desencadenante del acné. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
