If you’re in your 20s, 30s, or older and are still dealing with acne, you are not alone. Remember that acne is a medical condition that affects some 40 to 50 million Americans. Acne that doesn’t clear up by the time a person reaches adulthood is called persistent acne, which, along with late-onset acne, occurs more often in women.
The causes of acne are the same for all ages. Acne, even mild acne, is always a medical condition which can benefit from treatment by a physician.
If you are unhappy about where you are with treating your acne—whether you have suffered since your teen years or it’s a recent development—you may benefit from speaking with a doctor about treatments and other skin care tips that may help.
