NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. – Do more women today really have acne? Or are they simply more likely to seek help because they learn of new and better medications?
Acne often causes more psychosocial and psychological stress in adult women than in men or adolescents, Dr. Hilary Baldwin of SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, N.Y., said at Skin Disease Education Foundation’s Women’s & Pediatric Dermatology Seminar.
In an interview at the meeting, Dr. Baldwin explained what makes the treatment of acne in adult women distinct from acne treatment for men and adolescents, and what underused medications can yield success.
