    GlossaryAdult Acne

    occurrence of acne in individuals over the age of 25

    Adult acne, also known as adult-onset acne, refers to the occurrence of acne in individuals over the age of 25. It can be caused by a variety of factors including hormonal fluctuations, stress, and certain medications. Unlike teenage acne, adult acne often appears on the lower face, jawline, and neck, and may be more inflammatory. Treatment typically involves topical or oral medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes hormonal therapy.

      community EU Shouldn't Ban Fin & Dut: PFS is NOT REAL.

      in Research/Science  11 upvotes 6 months ago
      Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause depression or "Post Finasteride Syndrome," with concerns often linked to the nocebo effect and preexisting mental health issues. The EU is unlikely to ban these drugs, but access may become more restricted due to ongoing debates.
