Record News program discusses adult acne and skin health warnings

The Record News program ‘Fala Doutor’, hosted by Amanda Meirelles, features discussions on adult acne and skin changes that may indicate underlying health issues.

Dermatologist Dra. Alessandra Romiti, an advisor to the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, discusses acne appearing in individuals over 30 or 40, as well as those experiencing acne for the first time in adulthood. The discussion covers the potential influence of hormonal changes, diet—including chocolate, milk, sugar, and whey protein—and skincare routines. Experts warn against the risks of using excessive acids, exfoliants, and drying products without guidance, as well as the dangers of squeezing lesions, which can lead to scarring and spots.

Dermatologist Dra. Mariana Barros also participates to address skin alterations that serve as systemic warning signs. Topics include sudden spots, persistent itching, non-healing wounds, and other changes that may require medical investigation beyond simple dermatological care.
