Why do you have hormonal acne ?

Hormonal acne is an acne disorder mainly seen in women in their late 20s and middle age, caused by hormonal imbalances.

Previously, the notion was that acne is a normal occurrence in teenagers. This statement is still true but if you have severe acne in adolescence or if the acne persists till your 20s, it is a good idea to get yourself assessed by a skin specialist because it can be Hormonal acne. 

There are certain signs associated with hormonal acne. In case you are suffering from irregular periods,  excessive bodily hair growth, hair loss from the scalp, premenstrual flare of acne

then there is a high chance that you might be suffering from Hormonal acne. 

Hectic schedules, stressful work environment, sedentary lifestyle and changed eating habits have resulted in an increased number of such lifestyle related disorders. 

Hormonal acne needs to be targeted with a multi pronged approach to cure the root cause.
