hormonal acne
Endocrine-triggered skin eruptions
Hormonal acne is acne triggered by fluctuations in hormone levels, typically appearing along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks.
It commonly affects teenagers during puberty, women during menstrual cycles or pregnancy, and adults with hormonal imbalances: My hormonal acne always flares up right before my period.
Distinguished from other acne types by its timing and location rather than appearance.
