Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne results from imbalances in androgens (testosterone, DHEA), estrogen, and progesterone, often worsening before menstruation. It typically appears along the jawline, chin, and lower face, with deep, cystic breakouts.
Diagnosis includes:

Inflammation
​​​​A functional approach focuses on hormonal balance, inflammation reduction, and detoxification. Treatment includes dietary changes, gut health support, stress reduction, and targeted supplements like zinc, omega-3s, and herbal supplements. Combining this with conventional approaches like spironolactone can help with long term skin clarity and healing.
