Although acne is principally a disorder of adolescence, the prevalence of adult acne is increasing. Adult acne has been
dened as the presence of acne beyond the age of 25 years. Acne in adult women may have different clinical features i.e.,
more involvement of lower face, association with hair loss, premenstrual are, signs and symptoms of insulin resistance, dyslipidaemias. Various
studies have shown that a signicant percentage of adult women with acne failed to respond to treatment with systemic antibiotics and isotretinoin
which indicates a need for treatment alternatives with improved effectiveness and acceptable side effects for resistant acne. This study aims to
study the different clinicoepidemiological features of adult acne.
