Hormonal acne is, as the name suggests, acne caused by hormonal fluctuations in the body. These fluctuations can lead to increased oil production in the skin, clogged pores and inflammation, resulting in acne. Hormonal acne usually appears as deep, painful cysts or nodules along the jawline, chin and lower cheeks. 

Treatment options for hormonal acne may include 

1. Topical Treatments: Available in stores or by prescription, topical treatments containing ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or retinoids can unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
2. Oral Medications: Hormonal treatments, such as birth control pills or anti-androgen drugs, can regulate hormone levels and reduce acne breakouts in some people.
3. Oral Antibiotics In cases of severe inflammatory acne, oral antibiotics may be prescribed to reduce bacteria and inflammation in the skin.
4. Isotretinoin: This oral medication, also known as Accutane, is used for severe or treatment-resistant cases of acne. It works by reducing oil production, bacteria and inflammation in the skin.
5. Lifestyle Changes: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing stress levels and avoiding triggers such as certain skin care products or dietary factors can help with hormonal acne management.

It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the treatment plan that best suits your individual needs and to monitor progress over time. Also, addressing hormonal imbalances or conditions is essential for the long-term management of hormonal acne.
