    Glossary Hormonal Acne

    occurs due to fluctuations in hormone levels, especially androgens

    Hormonal acne, also known as hormone-induced acne, is a type of acne that occurs due to fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly androgens like testosterone. These hormonal changes can increase oil production in the skin, leading to clogged pores and the development of acne. It is commonly seen in teenagers, women during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause, and can also be influenced by conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
