Results: After analyzing the materials for 20 years, one in ten (7-17%) of people having acne after the age of twenty five. Women are far more likely to have acne during their early adult years than men, with more than eight in ten of cases of adult acne occurring in women. Clinical acne was more prevalence in African American (37%) and Hispanic women (32%) than in Continental Indian (23%), Caucasian (24%) and Asian women (30%).Among the women with acne 37.3% of women were diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome where as 39.2% with abnormal menstruation. Other percentage of women diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder and other gynecological disorders.
