Determining the type of acne you have requires a professional evaluation by a dermatologist. They can examine your skin, consider your medical history, lifestyle factors, and may perform tests to determine whether your acne is hormonal or bacterial. If you suspect hormonal acne, it’s often associated with hormonal fluctuations, such as during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy. Bacterial acne may be caused by the presence of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria on the skin. If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
