AB  - The aim of this study was to analyse the levels of anxiety, depression, and 
      quality of life of individuals living with acne patients (cohabitants). The study 
      included patients, cohabitants, and controls; a total of 204 participants. 
      Patients' health-related quality of life was measured with the Dermatology Life 
      Quality Index (DLQI), while cohabitants' quality of life was measured with the 
      Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI). The psychological state of all 
      participants was measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). 
      Presence of acne impaired the quality of life of 89.4% of the cohabitants. The 
      FDLQI scores of cohabitants were significantly associated with the DLQI scores of 
      the patients (rp = 0.294; p = 0.044). Anxiety and depression levels in 
      cohabitants were significantly higher than in controls (p < 0.01). In conclusion, 
      acne may have a negative impact on quality of life and psychological well-being 
      of patients and their cohabitants.
