Abstrakt		The improvement of acne in summertime or the aggravation in winter is a traditional dermatological opinion. Ultraviolet rays are thought to be beneficial to acne. In the existing literature there is no proof of this. The purpose of this study was to and out whether or not acne generally aggravates in winter. We asked 139 patients if their acne aggravates in winter or in summertime. About one third of the patients reported an aggravation of their acne in winter, but approximately also one third of the patients complained about an aggravation in summer. Another third did not notice any change. It may be concluded that sun-bathing may be beneficial to the emotions and may produce euphoric effects, but we think now that there is no reason for the use of ultraviolet radiation with ats its negative effects on the skin in the treatment of acne.
