Many women suffer from acne, and not only during puberty. The phenomenon of hormonal acne can meet us at different stages of life because it is related to our hormonal activity, which fluctuates and changes. At all ages, there is the potential for hormonal changes, so hormonal acne can occur at any stage of life, for men or women. What is hormonal acne?Hormonal acne is a condition where there is an increase in the production of hormones in the body that increase the activity of the sebaceous glands, which leads to acne breakouts. The hormones that are mainly affected are the androgens, which are male hormones. The sebaceous glands produce sebum to moisturize the skin, but when there is an excess of sebum, it can lead to acne. As women, we are especially sensitive to hormonal acne, and as a result of the hormonal mechanism of our fertility, most of our changes revolve around it.
Reasons for hormonal acne:
The various reasons that lead to hormonal acne include hormonal changes that happen especially around the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or after stopping taking pills. Medical conditions such as polycystic ovaries (PCOS) can also cause hormonal acne breakouts. In addition, factors such as stress, taking certain medications (such as steroids), and even genetics, can affect our hormonal activity.
Symptoms of hormonal acne:
Hormonal acne is characterized by comedones, pimples, and inflamed sores that appear mainly in the area of the cheeks, chin, and neck. Most often, the sores erupt especially before or during the menstrual cycle, after stopping pills, or during pregnancy and also during menopause.
The common ages for the onset of hormonal acne:
Hormonal acne mainly breaks out during the late years of the second decade of life and during the thirties, but it can occur at any age when there are significant hormonal changes.
