Adult Acne in women vs men

In women, polycystic ovary syndrome or the menstrual cycle are often the cause of adult acne. However, pregnancy and breastfeeding can also cause adult acne at any age. Through their late 40s and 50s, some females may experience a variety of hormonal changes that are related to menopause and the period leading up to it (perimenopause).

In males, adult acne is often caused by the high testosterone levels of youth. Men also experience a hormonal shift in their late 40s to early 50s, known as andropause, which may bring along adult acne amongst other symptoms.
