Pigmentation/Blemishes
Hormonal Acne – An Overview
Hormonal acne is a type of acne triggered by fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly androgens. It often appears as deep, painful breakouts along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks, but can also affect other areas. Unlike teenage acne, hormonal acne commonly occurs in adults, especially women during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or due to conditions like PCOS. These breakouts may be persistent and resistant to over-the-counter treatments. While frustrating, hormonal acne is treatable with the right dermatological care and medical guidance.

How Hormonal Acne Removal Works?
Treating hormonal acne requires addressing both the skin and underlying hormonal imbalance. Dermatologists may prescribe topical treatments, oral medications like hormonal therapy, antibiotics, or advanced procedures such as chemical peels and laser therapy. Consistent skincare and lifestyle changes also play a role in managing flare-ups. At Derma Redefined, Dr. Sampurna creates customized treatment plans designed to balance skin health, reduce breakouts, and prevent scarring. With professional care, hormonal acne can be effectively managed, helping patients regain confidence and achieve long-term clear, healthy skin.
Understanding the Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne can feel discouraging, especially when painful breakouts appear just before important days or keep recurring despite good skincare. It happens because hormone shifts stimulate excess oil production and inflammation, leading to stubborn, deep pimples. Stress and conditions like PCOS can make it worse, but this is not your fault. Many people experience hormonal acne, and it doesn’t mean your skin is unmanageable. With patience, support, and professional treatment, breakouts can be controlled, leaving you with healthier skin and renewed confidence.
