Hormonal Acne

Hormones induce maturity in oil glands of the skin, and any imbalance in them can cause acne. The hormones create an oil surplus in the hair follicles, which lead them to getting clogged. This clogging allows bacteria to grow, which cause the acne and blemishes on the skin. This hormonal imbalance is mostly noticed in teens when they have reached puberty and can affect boys and girls alike. Some adults, especially women may also have this problem of acne during their monthly menstrual cycles.
