Samenvatting	Acne-QoL is a disease-specific, patient-administered quality-of-life measure assessing the psychological and social burden of acne vulgaris. Acne is the most common skin disease in adolescents and young adults and causes substantial psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and social impairment disproportionate to its severity. Multiple versions of Acne-QoL exist (19–24 items); all capture emotional, social, and functional impacts. Acne-QoL is essential in clinical trials and observational studies to ensure treatment efficacy encompasses quality-of-life outcomes.	MelasQoL is a disease-specific, patient-administered quality-of-life measure designed to assess the psychosocial burden of melasma, a common chronic disorder of symmetric facial hyperpigmentation. Developed by Cestari and colleagues in 2006, it captures the unique emotional and social impacts of a predominantly cosmetic condition that disproportionately affects women of color. MelasQoL is essential in clinical trials and observational studies of melasma treatments to ensure that efficacy encompasses meaningful quality-of-life outcomes.
