Determining the type of acne you have, whether hormonal or bacterial, may require the expertise of a dermatologist.
Hormonal acne is usually linked to changes in hormone levels and mostly affects the lower part of the face and jawline.
Bacterial acne, on the other hand, is often caused by the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria and may result in inflammatory pimples.
Consulting with a dermatologist can help in accurately diagnosing your acne type and determining the best treatment plan.
