ABSTRACT: Serum zinc levels In acne patients and in matched healthy controls of both sexes and within the same age group (16–20 years age) were estimated. Women, whether diseased or healthy, have shown a significantly lower mean serum zinc level than the corresponding men. In advanced grades of acne, both men and women have a significantly lower level than the corresponding control groups. Within the same sex group, those with advanced grades have revealed a significantly lower level than those with flight grades.
