Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects almost 100% of the teenagers worldwide. The peak incidence is between 12 and 18 years old, although it can be present in adults. There are many different beliefs about what can cause or exacerbate acne, and also about treatment. In Mexico, 26.4% of the population is between 15 and 29 years old, which represents that more than 25% of the population is at risk for presenting acne. In our country, the different beliefs about the causes and treatment of acne among general adolescent population have not been explored. The objective of the present study is to determine the possible causes for which young Mexicans do not go to the dermatologist to receive treatment for acne. Our main hypothesis is that the lack of knowledge of the disease is responsible for this behavior.
