The questionnaire comprised : 5 questions about general characteristics, 24 questions about acne recognitions and 20 questions about the present condition of acne care 49 questions by total. The anonymous survey was conducted using WeChat from February 20th to March 20th 2020.

The study results are the highest to general of the subjects, in their twenties and females occupied proportion of the subjects. Also, students, unmarried people and those with an average income of 500,000 won or under made up the biggest proportion of the subjects. Among acne recognitions, the ‘recognition of acne causes’ was most common, and it was followed by the ‘recognition of factors worsening acne’ and the ‘recognition of acne care’. Self-care of acne was more frequent than professional care. ln investigating differences in recognition of acne care between males and females, the recognition that ‘acne improves when skin is exposed to the sunlight’ was more found in males than in females, and in recognition that ‘acne worsens when there is a lack of sleep’ was more found in females than in males. When analyzing differences in recognition of acne causes and the present condition of acne care, the recognition that ‘acne is related to hormones’ showed statistically significant differences. These results demonstrate males and females with acne skin in their twenties and thirties from the inner Mongolia region have a high level of recognition of acne causes and take care of acne by themselves, but they are less satisfied with the care methods or the care effect. Therefore, This study implies that there is a need to provide males and females with acne skin in their twenties and thirties from the inner Mongolia region with proper care methods and professional knowledge for improving acne.
