What is Senile Acne?

Senile acne, also known as adult-onset acne or acne tarda, occurs in individuals over the age of 40. Unlike teenage acne, it is often linked to hormonal fluctuations, stress, certain medications, or underlying skin conditions.

Causes of Senile Acne

  • Hormonal Imbalance – Common in menopausal women or due to andropause in men.

  • Stress and Lifestyle Factors – Increased cortisol may trigger sebum production.

  • Medications – Steroids, anticonvulsants, or hormonal therapies can cause acne.

  • Cosmetic Products – Comedogenic or oily formulations block pores.

  • Chronic Sun Damage – Alters skin texture and aggravates acne.

  • Underlying Medical Conditions – Such as endocrine disorders or diabetes.
