    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.

      community Female, 30, PCOS diagnosis, MPB Norwood 2. Endo refuses to give anything other than Spironolactone. Feel like I’m at my wit’s end here.

      in Female  57 upvotes 2 years ago
      A 30-year-old female with PCOS and male pattern baldness is frustrated with her endocrinologist's recommendation of only Spironolactone and minoxidil, feeling that dutasteride, finasteride, and progesterone would be more effective. Other users suggest various online sources for treatments, warn against self-medicating due to potential risks, and recommend seeking a specialized endocrinologist or considering additional treatments like Inositol, Berberine, and dermaneedling.

      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
