ClinConnect Summary

This study is looking at the possible connection between acne, a common skin condition that often affects teenagers and young adults, and the levels of fats (lipids) in the blood. Researchers want to understand if changes in blood fats might be related to acne in young people living in Sohag Governorate.

To take part, volunteers need to be healthy young adults without acne themselves or in their family, and they should not be taking any medications that affect blood fats or acne treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those using hormone treatments like birth control pills, are not eligible. Participants will likely have their blood tested to check their lipid levels and will be asked about their health history. This study is not yet open for volunteers, but if you qualify, it offers a chance to help researchers learn more about acne and its possible links to overall health.
