What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying acne, a common skin condition with significant psychosocial effects, through a unique cohort at Nantes University Hospital. This observational study aims to identify factors predicting treatment response, assess the severity and impact on quality of life, and understand the costs associated with acne. The team will also collect bacteriological samples to further investigate acne's causes and influences. Patients visiting the specialized acne consultation at Nantes University Hospital for the first time and meeting eligibility criteria will join the cohort. Follow-up visits are scheduled individually based on medical need, usually between one and four months apart. The study includes gathering blood samples for hormonal checks and bacteriological samples to detect Propionibacterium acnes. Participants will have their acne stage measured and quality of life assessed over two years. Researchers will monitor psychological impact, treatment courses, and related expenses. The cohort will gather detailed data through clinical evaluations, questionnaires, and biological samples, helping to improve understanding and management of acne with ongoing observation throughout the study period.
