Determining the type of acne you have can be a bit tricky without a professional diagnosis.
Hormonal acne is often linked to hormonal imbalances and tends to appear around the jawline and chin area.
Bacterial acne, on the other hand, is caused by bacteria clogging pores and can appear anywhere on the face.
If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist for a proper assessment.
