Determining whether your acne is hormonal or bacterial requires a proper diagnosis by a healthcare professional, typically a dermatologist.
Hormonal acne is often associated with hormonal changes in the body, such as during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause.
Bacterial acne, on the other hand, is caused by the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria that reside on the skin and can cause inflammation and breakouts.
Your healthcare provider will be able to assess your symptoms and medical history to determine the underlying cause of your acne.
