Understanding Hormonal Acne Deeply


Hormonal acne is not just a skin problem—it reflects deeper internal hormone and metabolic imbalance. Many adults experience breakouts due to fluctuating estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or stress hormones. This type of acne often appears along the jawline, chin, neck, and around the mouth. Women may notice flare-ups before periods or during irregular cycles. Men often develop acne triggered by testosterone imbalance and chronic inflammation. PCOS-related acne is another common cause among young women and adults. Stress can worsen outbreaks by elevating cortisol levels and increasing oil production. Poor gut health may also trigger inflammatory skin reactions. Harsh creams may dry skin but don’t heal the root reason for breakouts. That’s why acne keeps returning again and again. Treating hormonal acne effectively requires correcting the internal imbalance. Quick fixes won’t bring lasting improvement. The body must be healed from within. That is where functional medicine brings lasting skin recovery. Dr Ace focuses on identifying the true cause before starting treatment.
