Identifying the type of acne can be a bit tricky without a professional assessment. However, hormonal acne typically manifests as deep, cystic bumps along the jawline and chin and is often linked to hormonal imbalances. Bacterial acne, on the other hand, is usually characterized by inflamed pustules and papules all over the face. If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
