How does acne treatment defer for someone in his 40s or 50s?

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

Actually, acne treatment is primarily based on severity and previous response to medication and does not differ between the various age group especially in males. Pre-existing medical conditions in an adult e.g. liver disease, high cholesterol may preclude the use of some medication.

In females, if a hormonal cause is suspected, the doctor may use hormonal therapy to control the acne instead.

Hope this helps!
