Adult Female Acne

Meaning

A persistent or late-onset dermatological condition characterized by Acne vulgaris in women over the age of 25. This form of acne often presents with inflammatory lesions, deep nodules, and cysts, predominantly localized around the jawline, chin, and neck area. It is clinically distinct from adolescent acne due to its frequent association with underlying fluctuations or imbalances in the female endocrine system. Effective management requires a holistic understanding of the interplay between hormones and the skin’s pilosebaceous unit.
