The New York Times (10/25, Brody) reports “experts say acne has become an increasingly prevalent problem among adult women in recent years.” In some cases, acne “that began in adolescence persisted well past their teen years, but others developed acne for the first time as adults.” The Times adds, “In a study of 50 adult women with moderate to severe acne recently published in JAMA Dermatology,” researchers highlighted “the toll the condition can take on mental and emotional well-being. The women often experienced problems with depression, anxiety and social isolation.”
