Why Acne Is Different in Thiruvananthapuram
Acne in Thiruvananthapuram is aggravated by Kerala's year-round 70–90% humidity and tropical heat. A clinical study (Narang et al., Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019) confirmed that 47.95% of acne patients experience seasonal worsening, with temperature and humidity as statistically significant contributors (p<0.05). A Kerala study from Kannur Medical College (Raghavan JS et al., 2019) found adult acne in 28% of patients, with 74% female predominance and 39.5% developing permanent scarring. DermaVue dermatologists follow AAD 2024 guidelines recommending benzoyl peroxide + adapalene combination as first-line, avoiding antibiotic monotherapy to prevent resistance.
