It can be difficult to determine the specific type of acne without a professional evaluation. Hormonal acne is usually characterized by deep, cystic pimples around the jawline and chin, often flaring up around menstruation or during hormonal changes. Bacterial acne, on the other hand, is caused by the p. acnes bacterium and often presents as red pimples with a white or yellow center. If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
