Abstract
Acne, a disease of adolescence, is actually quite frequent in the adult and may be on the rise. It is particularly observed in women, but this may result from consultation bias. Stress and hormone disorders are blamed with no tangible evidence. The clinical aspect in females is quite specific: inflammatory acne in the lower facial region. This form of acne is highly chronic and recurrent, requiring adaptation of contraception and often isotretinoin. L’acné, maladie de l’adolescent, est en fait assez fréquente chez l’adulte et peutêtre en augmentation. Elle est surtout observée chez la femme mais peut-être du fait d’un biais de consultation. Le stress, les désordres hormonaux sont accusés sans preuve tangible. L’aspect clinique est chez la femme assez spécifique : acné inflammatoire du bas du visage. Cette acné est très chronique et récidivante, demandant une adaptation de la contraception et souvent le recours à l’isotrétinoïne.
