What Is The Reason For A Female Having Acne At 50 Years?

hi, I have been a problem with acne at 50 yrs old and as a female it is a major concern. I was told by a skin specialist that sometimes if you have a tumor it will cause you to produce male hormones that will cause facial skin acne. Can you elaborate. I don't even know what kind of questions to ask.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Acne usually happens at young age and decreases later.

However in females a hormonal imbalance may lead to this problem.

You might be suffering from a condition called as pcod.

In this the ovaries produce abnormal hormone leading to acne
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
