Adult acne is real, but there are ways to treat it. Here’s what to know – WTOP News
- Dermatologists note that adult acne differs from teenage breakouts, with women often experiencing hormonal flare-ups along the jawline and chin rather than the forehead and nose.
- For Gillian Maegan Montalbo, a marketer in the Philippines, breakouts intensified in the workforce and caused hesitancy to look colleagues in the eye, significantly affecting her self-esteem.
- Lauren Fine, founder of Fine Dermatology in Chicago, warns that picking or popping pimples drives inflammation deeper into the skin, increasing risks of scarring and discoloration.
- Treatments range from over-the-counter products to prescription-strength medications, though Crystal Aguh of the Ethnic Skin Program at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine notes darker skin tones may experience prolonged discoloration.
- Experts emphasize that patients should not suffer alone, as developing the right treatment plan takes time and strong support systems remain essential for managing the hardest moments.
