Diseases such as migraine, acne, allergic reactions, baseline blood pressure, and increased heart rate are influenced by psychological conditions. The aim of this study was to compare state-trait anxiety in patients with acne, migraine, and hypertension in 2019.

In this comparative causal study, the population was selected from patients referred to clinics and offices in Qom city (90 individuals in three groups of 30) diagnosed with migraine, hypertension and acne. Data were collected using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger) and analyzed using SPSS 21 by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and Scheffe post-hoc tests.

The three groups of patients with acne, migraine and hypertension differed significantly from each other in state anxiety (p<0.01). The anxiety state of migraine patients was more than other patients and 8.1% of the state anxiety was affected by acne, migraine and blood pressure, and the state anxiety was significantly different between dermatological and migraine patients (p<0.05). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the three groups of patients with acne, migraine and hypertension with respect to the trait anxiety.

People with these three symptoms (migraine, hypertension and acne) are more likely to suffer from anxiety, and anxiety is more common in patients with migraine than in patients with acne and hypertension. It can be suggested that more studies should be conducted in psychological areas that lead to the occurrence of psychosomatic and somatic symptoms.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries occasionally associated with complications, such as acne lesions. Anxiety reportedly leads to the emergence or exacerbation of acne lesions.   This cross-sectional study was conducted on 147 patients undergoing rhinoplasty. The patients were assigned into two groups of case (with acne lesions) and control (without acne lesions) entailing 52 (45 females, 7 males) and 95 (68 females, 27 males) subjects, respectively. The data were collected using an instrument entailing clinical and demographic data and the state-trait anxiety inventory developed by Spielberger.   According to the results, 70.7% and 71.6% of the patients in the case and control groups were female, respectively. Regarding the education level, 61.5% and 68.4% of the case and control groups had academic education, respectively. Additionally, 61.5% and 42.1% of the subjects in the case and control groups were single with the mean ages of 25.06±5.077 and 27.45±5.909 years, respectively. , 73.1% of the case group indicated grade 2 acne mostly in the face (100%) appearing 1-4 weeks post-surgery (51.9%). The case group had higher mean scores of trait (46.92±12.53) and state (46.21±9.30) anxiety, trait (P=0.001) and state (P=0.019) anxiety severity, as well as the prevalence of cosmetic dissatisfaction (51.9%), compared to the control group. Furthermore, acne severity showed a direct correlation with the severity of trait anxiety (r=0.472, P=0.005) and state anxiety (r=0.443, P=0.013).   As the findings indicated, anxiety could be a major factor in triggering or exacerbating acne lesions after rhinoplasty. The assessment of mental health before the surgery, proper selection of the cases seeking aesthetic surgery, provision of psychological support, lack of medical history of acne lesions, and successful cosmetic rhinoplasty could result in reducing the prevalence of acne lesions after cosmetic surgeries, especially rhinoplasty.
