Sudden acne on elderly women?

Question

what might cause a sudden flair of acne on the face of an older woman (33-37)?

Answer 1

stress and change in environment and life style. oh, and some women never grow out the puberty period. :)

Answer 2

Lots of different reasons: a sudden on-come of stress, diet, makeup not being not washed off properly, a woman's ever-changing hormones. It is adult acne and is treated different than adolescent acne. If there is an ongoing problem with these flairs, than seek a dermatologists advice or check your local shopping center for adult acne products (which usually contain sulfur in the ingredients.)

Answer 3

Since there is not one solitary cause of acne, there could be a plethora of reasons.  Pinning down one reason can be time consuming and frustrating.  

I always recommend washing your pillow cases.  Sometimes, in the busy female lives of ours, we forget simple things like this.  I would also say to try and remember any changes in your regular diet, make up, facial products, and daily skin regime.  

Hope that helps.
