Effective therapies for adult acne in Vienna

Adult acne – late acne – acne tarda

Adult acne or acne tarda occurs more frequently in women, but also in men, between the ages of 25 and 50. Many women are affected by adult acne during menopause.

It usually affects the chin, cheeks, and neck area. Very often, painful, inflammatory nodules (not blackheads) occur. The skin is usually rather dry.

The main trigger is increased activity of the sebaceous glands due to a hormonal shift. It is typical for acne to develop after stopping hormonal contraception (the pill) during or after pregnancy. The use of too many or "wrong" skincare products can also lead to acne in adulthood.
