All about hormonal acne

As women and men approach puberty, hormones undergo many changes. These upheavals not only affect our inner bodies, but also the pores of our skin.

👉 These changes are manifested by the appearance of pimples of various sizes that can be very sensitive. When they appear in adulthood, it is called hormonal acne. Find out everything you need to know abouthormonal acne in this article.

What is hormonal acne?

Hormonal acne is acne that appears in adulthood (on a woman or a man). It results from a high production of sebum that clogs the pores and causes inflammation. It is often mistakenly believed that people with oily skin are more prone to this condition.

🙌 But it was frequently found that dry skin could also suffer from it. In short, during menstrual period, many women suffer from it which does not mean that everyone is necessarily exposed. We call "hormonal acne", acne that appears as a result of numerous hormonal fluctuations in the body. 

In this regard, an overproduction of testosterone leads to the appearance of hormonal acne. The same is true for progesterone and estrogen in women.

Cortisol also produces a very high level of progesterone, which increases sebum production. High stress levels also increase the occurrence of hormonal acne. 

And its manifestations, reactions on the skin and lesions also vary according to the type of skin.

It is by taking note of the different information concerning this aggression that one can imagine how to palliate this situation.

Where does it appear?

Hormonal acne can affect anyone with excess sebum. 

Very often, it appears on the face in different places depending on the extent of the inflammation. For example, the chin and jawline are subject to hormonal acne. 

In fact, the sebaceous glands are stimulated by the excess of hormones in the body, causing an excessive production of sebum.

Since this particular body part is related to the reproductive organs , it is easily affected by hormonal acne. 

It is important to note that the appearance of pimples can be cyclical. 

The cheeks are also often affected.

Regardless of the part of the body where hormonal acne appears, it is caused by an overproduction of sebum. However, pustules are caused by the proliferation of bacteria in the cheeks. 

The contact between the phone screen and the cheeks or the contact of dirty hands causes the development of these bacteria.

Although it happens more rarely, it is also possible to have hormonal acne on the back. 

The enlargement of the skin on certain areas of the body and particularly on the lower face favors the return of pimples. 

Hormonal acne in women

👱♀️ The various hormonal variations in women throughout their lives very frequently expose them to hormonal acne. 

One of the main causes of pimples in women is the menstrual cycle. 

This phenomenon occurs cyclically in women, which also favors the cyclical appearance of pimples. However, there are many causes of hormonal acne on the female body.

Stopping or taking the pill can also be a source of this type of problem. Taking the pill allows you to play with your hormones, which also causes them to react on your body. 

Some women after starting to take the pills or at the end of the treatment are subject to the appearance of pimples on their skin. This is especially true of the face, which is the area most affected by these changes.

Hormonal acne in men

👦 Unlike the case of women, men are more rarely subject to hormonal acne. Even if he would be affected by this condition, it very often happens at the age of puberty but very rarely not later. 

Indeed, hormonal acne, for most cases identified in men, is often linked to family history.

Indeed, androgens, which are male hormones, are at the origin of its appearance at the age of puberty. They promote the production of sebum, which is one of the main causes of pimples on the skin. 

The reason why these pimples only appear during a period in men is that they are not affected by cyclical hormonal changes.

👉 However, the latter will have a harder time treating his pimples, especially if he has a family history of acne. The numerous skin aggressions and its exposure do not help its healing either.

When androgens bind to the receptors of the sebaceous glands, sebum production increases and the skin becomes more oily. If this process continues, the situation will evolve into hormonal acne.

Hormones and skin imperfections

Each being is unique by its DNA and this is also the case for each organism. However, the menstrual cycle in a woman is a variation that causes multiple transformations in her body. 

Before and during menstruation, many women suffer from problems with pimples that appear on all or part of the face. For some, they disappear at the end of the period as they appeared. 

For others, however, it is more complicated and the condition leaves spots all over the face and other parts of the body.

In fact, estrogen and testosterone are the main hormones responsible for all these changes. In addition, before and during menstruation, the skin of the face produces more sebum, which causes acne to break out. 

👵 S kin is easily affected whether it's by age, time, health issues or hormonal variations. One of the main times you notice these changes is during puberty. 

It is at this time that the hormones begin to manifest themselves more seriously. It is at the time of puberty that the sebaceous glands enlarge, promoting the production of sebum.

There are many causes related to the overproduction of sebum, the origin of hormonal acne. It is the connection with sex hormones through the receptors of the sebaceous glands that allows the increase in sebum production. In fact, the more sex hormones bind to the glands, the greater the production.

Hormonal acne during pregnancy

🤰 Pregnancy is the festival of hormonal upheaval. The development of a fetus in a woman's body causes many changes, most of which affect her physical state. 

These multiple changes set the stage for acne to appear. However, it is important to note that not everyone is affected.

After giving birth, the hormones that were released during pregnancy do not magically disappear. They may persist for some time before they subside completely. During this time, they can be the cause of the outbreak of pimples in the child's mother.
