Although it’s typically associated with hormone fluctuations during puberty, hormonal acne can affect adults of any age. It’s especially common in women. A number of factors may contribute to this, including menstruation and menopause.

On this kind of acne, expert opinions are mixed. Hormonal acne commonly appears on your chins, forehead, and nose. For some people, hormonal acne takes the form of blackheads, whiteheads, and small pimples that come to a head, or cysts.

Hormonal acne may be caused by influxes of hormones from:

menstruation.
polycystic ovarian syndrome.
menopause.
increased androgen levels.

Unless your hormonal acne is mild, over-the-counter (OTC) products usually aren’t successful.

Try to talk to your doctor. Oral medications can work from the inside out to balance your hormones and clear up the skin. Common options include oral contraceptives and anti-androgen drugs.

Oral contraceptives specifically used for acne treatment contain ethinylestradiol plus

one of the following:

drospirenone.
norgestimate.
norethindrone.

Together, these ingredients target the hormones that can contribute to acne. This can be especially helpful during peaks in hormones, such as during ovulation.

But note that: Oral contraceptives may not be an option for you if you have a history of blood clots, high blood pressure, or breast cancer. You also shouldn’t take these if you smoke.

Other options include Retinoids:

Retinoids are derived from vitamin A and can help in

Treating hormonal acne. Many retinoid creams, gels, and lotions are available over the counter.
If you add a topical retinoid to your regimen, it’s important to apply sunscreen daily. Retinoids can increase your risk of sunburn. The image below is a good product you can get.

Natural treatments are usually free of the side effects sometimes caused by prescription options. But they may not be as effective.

Well, giving them a trial isn't a bad idea.

1. Tea tree oil.

You should always dilute tea tree essential oil with a carrier oil before use. Popular carrier oils include coconut, jojoba, and olive. The general rule is to add about 12 drops of carrier oil to every one to two drops of essential oil.

Diet's too can befriend your hormones to afflict you.

Try to Reduce your intake of

Refined sugar.
Dairy products.
refined carbs, such as white bread and pasta.

Alongside that, practicing some routines daily can help you a great deal.

You should
Wash your face in the morning and again in the evening.
Apply no more than a pea-size amount of any acne product. Applying too much can dry out your skin and increase irritation.
Wear sunscreen every day.
Use only noncomedogenic products to reduce your risk of clogged

Pores. Though the exact mode of treatments varies from person to person.

What works for titi might not work for amaka, But I hope this thread was helpful.

You shouldn't go to the hospital only during emergencies. Finding a dermatologist can be difficult, so talk

To your general physician. At least this thread has provided enough information to help you have an in-depth conversation with your physician.

That retinoid cream recommended above can be used by both males and females irrespective of the fact that this thread

Addresses hormonal acne mostly affected by women. I wish you quick recovery.
