The Arizona-based doctor also said it is more common among young adults and women. Especially during menstruation and pregnancy or menopause.
"Hormonal imbalances during this time lead to increased oil production, which clogs pores and creates an environment for bacteria to grow."
Hudson resident dermatologist Dr. Kiran Mian also said in this regard, this hormonal acne appears cyclically with the period of menstruation.
He explains, 'This type of acne problem starts a week or just before the onset of menstruation. Under the face, along the jaw, the chin rises more. Sometimes it can be seen on the forehead and cheeks.
Treatment: Hormonal acne is usually treated in two stages. Firstly by cleaning the hair follicles and the second step is to control the hormonal disorder by taking medicine.

He also said, 'This acne does not return cyclically. It is red and most of the time painful.'

Remedy: Depending on the extent of acne caused by bacteria, treatment is required.
It is usually beneficial to use a face wash rich in benzoyl peroxide. Also, applying lotions containing anti-bacterial ingredients such as clindamycin can reduce the growth of bacteria.
"They help cure acne caused by bacteria" said Dr. Mian.
Also remember - skin oil 'sebum' is food for bacteria. So using retinoids can reduce the oil secretion of the skin and get more benefits.
