Hello Interloper!

Although the rates of acne are similar in young women and in young men, women are about three times more likely to be referred to a specialist for treatment.
While this may in part reflect an increased psychological and/or social impact on women, it almost certainly reflects men’s disinclination to seek help.
Just as men may dislike seeking assistance by asking directions when they are lost, men are less likely to seek help in effective skin management when they need it more.
