Body image is an individual's perception of their physical appearance, while self-esteem reflects a person's assessment of their own worth and abilities. This study aimed to determine the relationship between body image and self-esteem in adolescents with acne vulgaris at SMP Negeri 41 Palembang. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional analytical survey design. A sample of 79 adolescents was selected using a simple random sampling technique. The measurement instruments used included the Body Image Questionnaire for Adolescents with Acne Vulgaris and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of adolescents had a negative body image (69 individuals (87.3%), and low self-esteem (61 individuals (77.2%). Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between body image and self-esteem (p-value = 0.000), where adolescents with negative body image tended to have low self-esteem, while those with positive body image had high self-esteem. Therefore, it is recommended to develop self-esteem and a positive perception of appearance, supported by parental guidance and school coaching programs. This research can serve as a basis for further studies on factors influencing body image and self-esteem in adolescents with acne vulgaris.
