Determining what type of acne you have typically requires a professional assessment from a dermatologist.
Hormonal acne is often associated with hormonal fluctuations and tends to appear around the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks.
On the other hand, bacterial acne is caused by the presence of bacteria in the pores.
It’s best to consult with a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
