Abstract

Background and Aim: ACNE vulgaris is a common skin disorder. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of Ramadan FASTING on ACNE healing in patients admitted to the dermatology clinic, Razi Hospital, Tehran.Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 10 FASTING persons (9 women and 1 man) and 10 non-FASTING persons (9 women and 1 man) with ACNE were studied. Their baseline ACNE severities were recorded and ACNE improvement was evaluated in both groups after Ramadan month.Results: ACNE improvement was 71% in FASTING persons and 49% in non-FASTING persons. Improvement in FASTING persons i.e. was 1.4 times of non-FASTING ones (P=0.158). However, no significant statistical difference was detected. Also, it was determined that improvement was different according to ACNE grading. Improvement in ACNE lesions in patients with grade 2 severity was 100%, in those with grade 3 ACNE was 78%, and in patients with grade 4 ACNE was 35 % (P=0.025). But in nonFASTING patients there was not a statistical difference between ACNE severity and improvement rate. Furthermore in patients younger than 24, improvement rate of ACNE was 1.6 fold more than non-FASTING persons and in patients older than 24, this ratio was 1.3 (P=0.011).Conclusion: This study did not show any statistically significant difference in ACNE improvement between who were FASTING and who were not during Ramadan. Studies with larger sample size are recommended.
