Health-related quality of life and correlation with clinical severity in patients with acne: a cross-sectional study at a single centre in China

It is very important to incorporate HRQoL assessment into clinical practice in future research, and dermatology-specific and acne-specific HRQoL instruments should be used in combination to assess the health status of acne patients.
