Hi doctor,What is happening within our body that causes the most stubborn acne when we were on our period? What is the difference between the acne we get while on our period versus off? What are the best ways (besides specific products) to treat acne specifically during that time?
Hi. During menses, body have spurts of androgen. These androgen causes stimulation of pilosebaceous duct and leads to acne during this period. These types of acne usually appear in chin area may be because of more concentrated pilosebaceous unit localized to this place. Do maintain hormonal imbalance with the help of antiandrogen to reduce acne during these days. For further information consult a dermatologist online -->
