Abstract

Acne is one of the most widespread skin diseases in the general population and among adolescents in particular. However, it is becoming increasingly common in patients over 25 years of age, and particularly in women. We distinguish 2 types of postadolescent acne: persistent acne—the most frequent such acne—is an extension of acne that began in adolescence and continues into adulthood, and late-onset acne, which first appears in those over 25 years. We review the clinical characteristics of these types of acne in women, the causes, the recommended complementary tests, and the particulars of treatment in order to adequately manage this condition.
