dc.description.abstractAcne vulgaris is a chronic inflammation of the pilosebaceous unit. It can persist into adulthood that possesses combined oral contraceptives (COCs) as a treatment option [1]. To assess young adults in higher education in Portugal perception regarding COCs use in acne management. Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study using a non-probabilistic convenience sample. Female students taking COC in higher education in Portugal were included. For data collection, a questionnaire was published on Instagram® and data was processed using SPSS 29®. Most participants (61.2%) related their acne to their menstrual cycle, with a greater aggravation in the premenstrual period (36.9%). The majority (90.2%) believes that acne is related to hormones. The area of study and knowledge of the hormones involved in acne were found to be related (p < 0.001). Although the majority (57%) had no knowledge of hormone therapy, among those who did, the COCs was the most cited example (17.3%). Only 22% considered this therapy to be advantageous, the majority of whom were health students (27.1%). A relationship between study area and the effectiveness of hormonal therapy perception was verified (p < 0.001). The majority of the sample believes that COCs help to improve acne, despite the absence of relation with the study field. Health students demonstrated a higher awareness of the COCs for acne treatment. However, there was general misinformation on the subject. These findings highlight the need to enhance health literacy in order to promote a clearer and more accurate understanding of this subject.eng
