Hormonal acne is more than just a skin issue—it’s a reflection of internal hormonal imbalances. Common in teenagers and adult women, this type of acne is caused by fluctuating levels of androgens, estrogen, and progesterone. It typically appears as painful, cystic breakouts on the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks, often worsening around menstruation, pregnancy, or during conditions like PCOS.

At FMS Skin & Hair Clinics, expert dermatologists take a comprehensive approach to hormonal acne. Treatments include oral medications (birth control pills, anti-androgens), topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid. For advanced cases, in-clinic procedures like chemical peels, carbon laser toning, microneedling with PRP, and intralesional injections are available. The clinic also emphasizes lifestyle changes—like dietary adjustments, stress management, and hydration—for long-term acne control.
