Spironolactone (Aldactone) for Acne

Acne is often portrayed as a teenage problem, but it can affect people of all ages—from adolescents to adults in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. In the United States, acne affects tens of millions of people each year, and adult acne is increasingly common, especially in women. The good news is that acne is treatable, and today’s care standards focus on matching treatment to acne type, severity, and skin sensitivity to prevent scarring and improve long-term control.
