Abstract in brief

  • The study found that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is significantly more common in patients with acne vulgaris (AV) compared to healthy individuals, suggesting a potential link between skin and gastrointestinal conditions.
  • There is a positive correlation between the severity of acne (measured by GAGS scores) and the presence of IBS, along with symptoms like abnormal stool form, abdominal distention, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation.
  • This research is the first to explore the relationship between AV and IBS, indicating that further studies are needed to better understand the connection and underlying mechanisms.]
