The type of acne you have can be determined by a dermatologist through a physical examination of your skin and medical history. Hormonal acne is typically characterized by breakouts around the chin, jawline, and cheeks, and may be triggered by hormonal fluctuations. Bacterial acne is caused by the presence of bacteria on the skin and is usually associated with inflamed, pus-filled pimples. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
