title: [Adult acne in women].
abstract: Acne, a disease of adolescence, is actually quite frequent in the adult and may be on the rise. It is particularly observed in women, but this may result from consultation bias. Stress and hormone disorders are blamed with no tangible evidence. The clinical aspect in females is quite specific: inflammatory acne in the lower facial region. This acne is highly chronic and recurrent, requiring adaptation of contraception and often isotretinoin.
