Hormonal acne Occurs when hormones such as testosterone stimulate oil glands to produce excess oil. In can occur during your periods. Or can be caused by conditions that lead to an imbalance of hormones such as PCOS. The acne often occurs on the jawline and can be cystic 😩 To manage: your skincare routine should contain salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide and retinol. But you should also speak to your GP for prescription based medications such as oral retinoids, antibiotics and drugs to manage the hormones such as the oral contraceptive pill. #acne #acnescarring #hormonalacne #contraceptivepill #whentoseeyourdoctor #acnementalhealth #hyperpigmentation #scarring #doctor #skincareaddict #discover #foryou #originial #dermatology
