Abstract: Acne vulgaris is a chronic skin condition involving inflammation of the pilosebaceous follicle. The highest prevalence of acne vulgaris is at the age of 16-17 years. Pathogenic factors contributing to the development of acne vulgaris include increased sebum production, pilosebaceous follicular blockage, and increased colonization of Propionibacterium acnes. Personal hygiene is suggested as an important factor that needs to be maintained in acne prevention. Males tend to lack of awareness to seek information and health services in dealing with acne problems. This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between facial washing and the incidence of acne vulgaris in adolescent males in Manado. This was an analytical and observational study using a cross-sectional design. Subjects were male students of 3rd grade at SMA Negeri 9 Manado, aged 16-19 years old, and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a total number of 95 students. Subjects who washed their faces 2-3 times a day were 38 students (40%) while those who washed their faces less than twice or more than thrice a day were 57 students (60%). Subjects with no or mild acne vulgaris were 39 students (41.1%), while those with moderate to severe acne vulgaris were 56 students (58.9%). The chi-square showed a p-value of 0.004 for the relationship between the frequency of facial washing and the incidence of acne vulgaris. In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between facial washing and the incidence of acne vulgaris in adolescent males in Manado.

Faktor yang memengaruhi terjadinya akne vulgaris antara lain peningkatan produksi sebum, penyumbatan folikel pilosebasea, dan peningkatan kolonisasi bakteri Propionibacterium acnes. Kebersihan diri merupakan faktor penting yang perlu dijaga sebagai salah satu usaha untuk mencegah timbulnya akne. Laki-laki cenderung kurang memiliki kesadaran untuk mencari informasi dan pelayanan kesehatan dalam menangani masalah akne.
