Hormone Related Acne Treatment

Is acne on the chin hormone-related?


Just wondering because I see a dermatologist and I have special face washes and a cream for my face that clears it up beautifully...and my skin looks flawless...EXCEPT for on my chin, where I have all of a sudden developed a random outburst of cystic acne that no treatment I have can help, that absolutely WON'T go away and leaves scars.
I talked to my doctor and she thinks its hormonal so she gave me birth control.

OMG! Tell me what you use. I have acne on my forehead, that just won't go away. I think it is hormone-related, though.

What's The Best Thing For Hormonal Acne?


I gets the worst cystic acne around my jawline for a week every month. It's unbearable and painful. Washes and treatments with benzoyl peroxide and sycilic acid only work for bacterial acne, which I don't have. I've heard of birth control being prescribed for acne related to hormones... But I already have a IUD (non hormone birth control) Should I ask my doctor for ortho tri cyclin anyways? And just have 2 birth controls... has anyone had ortho tri cyclin clear their skin?
No I don't have any children. They used to only give it to women who have had kids before because it stretched the uterus making room for it but now it's smaller and they just measure the womb right before insertion with a metal rod =)
I haven't had any problems with it

You mentioned that you had an IUD. Have you had children before? An IUD is a great form of birth control but is only recommended to women who have had a child.

One thing you can do it eat right. Some people don't believe that is true, but when the acne is caused from hormones, watching your diet can really help. Also, stress can be a cause.
