Acne can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances and bacterial infections.
Hormonal acne is typically characterized by breakouts around the chin, jawline, and sometimes the cheeks, and tends to flare up around the time of menstrual cycles.
Bacterial acne, on the other hand, is often characterized by pustules or cysts and can occur anywhere on the face or body.
It’s best to consult with a dermatologist who can help determine the specific cause of your acne and recommend appropriate treatment.
