persistent acne in women aged 25 and older

Adult Female Acne, also known as Adult Women's Acne, refers to the occurrence of acne in women aged 25 and older. Unlike teenage acne, it is often linked to hormonal fluctuations, stress, and lifestyle factors. This condition can manifest as persistent or late-onset acne, typically appearing on the lower face, jawline, and neck. Treatment may involve topical or oral medications, hormonal therapies, and lifestyle modifications.
