Body Acne
Acne is frustrating. For some, acne remains isolated primarily to the face and neck. However, others struggle with body acne. For these individuals, stubborn, sometimes painful acne bumps appear on their back, chest, shoulders, butt, and elsewhere on the body. Unfortunately, treating body acne is sometimes more difficult than facial acne.
Hormonal Acne
Skin professionals look for a few specific things to help determine if an acne outbreak is indeed hormonal acne or an outbreak for another reason. Hormonal acne is explicitly linked to hormonal changes, and as a result, it leads to breakouts that follow a cycle such as a menstrual cycle. It can also align with other hormonal changes such as menopause or post-partum hormonal shifts.
