Hormonal acne
acne is not just a teenage problem. Its a lot of women are suprised to still be affected by acne in thier age 20s and 30s, thier 40s, and/or at the times of menopause.
Usually acne begins in the early 20s of age and can affect individuals who were blemish free durign thier teenage years.
Adult acne is not just the same as teenage acne which is usually more severe in the oilier facial areas including the central face.
Hormonal acne ranges in severity.
It may be confined to a few small red papules and pustules on the chin which appear during the premenstrual phase of your menstrual cycle, especially if you are stressed. Others have more severe acne with deeper, tender nodules that can appear at any stage of the menstrual cycle and can result in permanent scars. It can be on your face and neck as well as your trunk and shoulders.
Cause of Hormonal
Thier are three causes of Hormonal Acne:
1. sex hormones
2.chimecal substances
3. hormones
Female hormones, its produce mainly in the ovaries it include oestrogen as well as low levels of testosterone. They cause male-like effects and are known as adrogenic hormones.
Stress
Its a lot of women that work in competitive environments under the stress can overproduce male hormones.
Treatment
For mild hormonal acne, treatment is similar to that of mild teenage acne.
The doctor can prescribe iether a topical that keeps pores open and prevents inflammation.
If you’re still not seeing a response or if the acne is more severe, an oral antibiotic works well. However as this type of acne can be very persistent, hormonal agents can be very effective and a safer option.
Excess weight
Adult men who have excess body weight can be more prone to acne.
Surplus fat can convert the female hormone (oestrogen) into hormones that behave like male hormones (androgens) and promotes acne through various ways including increasing the production and composition of sebum (natural oil that prevents skin from drying out)
Extra sebum mixed with dead skin cells clogs pores. Inflamed or irritated pores contribute to formation of whiteheads or Blackheads that turn into pimples.

How do I get rid of my hormonal acne?
I get pretty bad zits around “that time of month” and they don’t seem to go away! I need help! I’ve tried almost everything! Any tips?
I use to have super bad acne on my back and face and chest! It was so embarrassing. One thing I found that made my face, chest, and back feel and look so much better is, believe it or not, the tea-tree special shampoo. It is a little expensive but it is worth it. All you have to do is while you’re in the shower (every night or every morning) only use about a quarter size or less and scrub where ever you have the pimples and leave it on for a minute or so, make sure you close your eyes cause it may sting a little. Do this every day for about 1 and a half weeks than switch to every other day, you should see improvement and it will feel WAY cleaner. Also, if you want, use it in your hair too, when you get out of the shower or bath you will fee SO clean and minty fresh. hope it works.
You can get this shampoo at Rite Aid.
Another little thing you can do is every morning put a hot rag on your face and let it sit. This opns your pores. Than splash warm water on it than cold water. This closes the pores back up.
