"She's got a face like a pizza": living with visible acne in early adulthood

J. Prior, V. Damianova, D. Laskari, V Mann

Research output: Contribution to conference › Poster › peer-review

Abstract

Whilst recent research has explored adults' experiences of 'living with' facial acne, (Murray & Rhodes, 2005), little qualitative research has been devoted to adolescents. This poster presents the results of a qualitative study of 6 participants (age 19-21) with mild to moderate facial acne. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, exploring participants perspectives of living with facial acne. An IPA analysis revealed key themes of acne in early adulthood, social interactions, and internal /external aspects of appearance. Implications of these findings for early adulthood are discussed.
