If you did not have acne blemishes as a teenager and suddenly having blemishes now, you should consult a skin doctor. Hormonal activities, your diet, skin care regimen – all should be reviewed properly.
Females sometimes suffer from a specific type of acne which is associated with menstrual cycle. Ovarian cysts, pregnancy, certain medication can result in pimples in females. You need to consult a physician if common acne treatments fail to cure the blemishes in adults.
