    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.

      A 15-year-old is concerned about hair loss, possibly at Norwood 2 or 3, and is using shampoos and conditioners recommended by a trichologist. Suggestions include considering topical minoxidil and consulting a doctor about topical anti-DHT treatments like finasteride or RU58841, but avoiding 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors at this age.
