Hormonal Acne
Hormonal Acne
Is there a natural remedy for HORMONAL acne on the chin?


I have significant hormonal fluctuations about 7-10 days before menses due to high androgen levels. I did some research on a dug called Spironolactone used to treat hormonal acne, but causes irregular menstural cycles & has caused tumors in lab rats. I don't want to risk it. Is there anything NATURAL I can do to lower my androgen levels? I have a pretty good facial regimen already....my problem is obviously internal (hormonal).

Chin acne is an affliction that creates its own set of issues for those suffering pimples on this part of the body and it is interesting that recent research both reinforces some of what we already know about chin acne, but also creates some new pointers to treating the problem.

Acne on the chin is obviously like acne that affects other parts of the body in that it's most common cause is hormonal change, which occurs throughout your life. Puberty commences the changes as sexual hormones, called androgen, are produced and these change during adolescence and into adulthood.

Generally the changes will 'stabilize' at adulthood as hormone levels in the body settle down to a more regular situation and the alterations at a hormonal level to not translate into the skin care issues that result in acne conditions and so forth.

But with chin acne, there are some other issues that you need to know about also, concerning how best to treat the condition given that acne on the chin can be more stubborn and of course are highly visible. There are therefore concealers and other skin care products that are frequently used to cover up the pimples on the chin.

This is where the problem is for many people suffering from acne. They are using products, often heavily laden with various chemical compounds, which simply do not agree with them.

It is vital that you ensure that whatever products you are using they are used properly and are compatible with your skin type and overall health and lifestyle factors. Some of these skin care items can not only be damaging and actually greatly worsen your chin acne condition, but can be outright dangerous for you to use.

During the course of reviewing natural acne treatments we have looked closely at cosmetics and moisturisers that can lead to greater chin acne breakouts because make-up, for instance, can block the sebaceous pores which then leads to blackheads and to other inflammatory acne on the chin or elsewhere.

Frequently people will overdo the use of microdermabrasion or peels that simply expose their skin, which has been rendered more delicate, to bacterial infection and greater acne infection and 'contamination'.

You therefore need to look at what triggers your chin acne condition and take the appropriate steps to treat it. Remembering the hormonal background to acne breakouts means you should be focusing upon an 'internal' treatment, ideally a natural treatment that creates less disruption and danger to your body by not introducing foreign or harmful chemicals into the body.

Consider whether you smoke, for instance, which can greatly worsen the chin acne condition by producing more sebum (oil) and the nicotine itself can irritate the skin as well, thus creating further conditions that are ideal for acne infestation.

There is no single cure for your acne condition and the important thing to remember is this: you need to consider your own, personal situation because everyone is different and two, you should try a natural treatment to your chin acne, or any other acne from which you suffer. Natural treatments are available and should be use.

Acne And Hormones: Acne Development Has A Close Connection With Hormonal Changes

The development of acne is said to have a close connection with the changes in hormones. Certain studies have noted that people suffering from acne often have oily skin due to the high level of androgen and testosterone hormones present on the body.

With this finding, many experts have noted that the balance of androgen and estrogen hormones is then required to maintain a healthy skin, a sort of Yin and Yang phenomenon. So, if hormonal imbalances occur, acne tends to develop.

The belief on the acne and hormones connection holds that acne, which is influenced by hormones, often starts around the age of 19 to 24, thus it can affect both the teens and mature women. At this stage, people will typically get lesions on the lower face, primarily in the chin as well as jaw line. It may also appear on the chest and back, although a majority of its victims are affected mainly on the face.

The acne and hormones connection further holds the idea that acne typically starts to appear when the body starts to produce androgen hormones. It is basically the androgens that incite the sebaceous glands to enlarge and emit sebum.

The sebum then gets stocked in the follicle and then moves up to the hair shaft until it reached the exterior part of the skin. As this movement occurs, the sebum then blends with bacteria which cause the hair follicle blockade. It is merely the blocked follicles which become the breeding area for bacteria, resulting in acne.

It is worth noting that hormones basically regulate every function of the body. As you may know, sleep, growth and some other related things largely depend upon your hormones. So, as it is mentioned above, when your hormones are out of balance, certain problems like acne may arise. And, if you hormones are in balance then there is no reason for acne to emerge.

The connection between acne and hormones also explains the occurrence of acne in teens as well as in adults. In teens, it is commonly noted that during the onset of puberty, androgens is produced which holds a major role in the development of acne. And, in place of the adult, the acne and hormones connection believed that the menstrual cycle of every woman plays a role in its development.

Certain reports in fact have noted that acne that worsens during a woman's monthly cycle is not something that women will grow out of as they get older.
