Adult acne 27 January 2009
Not just a teenage problem

Acne is often thought of as a teenage blight and something that will disappear with time. But an increasing number of women are afflicted by a late onset of acne. The condition tends to affect woman in their 30s and even 40s. Dermatologist Dr Nick Lowe, alternative practitioner Sandra Gibbons and former adult acne sufferer Karen Thomas join Jane to discuss the causes and available treatments.
