Introduction: Acne vulgaris (AV) is one of the most common skin disorders among youth. A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the association between bubble tea consumption and the prevalence of acne vulgaris among medical students. Method: Subjects were obtained from consecutive sampling. There were 91 eligible subjects meeting inclusion criteria. Data was collected using questionnaires. Examinations were through the observation of photographs of lesions. Chi-square analysis was conducted at a 95% confidence interval (p<0.05). Results: Data were collected from 91 medical students with a mean age of 19.62+0.98-year-old. The prevalence of acne was 58.2%, mainly at the age of 20 (37.7%). There is a significant association between consumption of bubble tea and the prevalence of AV (p<0.001). Conclusion: Bubble tea consumption is associated with the prevalence of acne vulgaris.
