Acne can be caused by various factors, including hormones and bacteria. Hormonal acne typically occurs around the chin and jawline and tends to flare up around menstruation. Bacterial acne is characterized by inflamed red pimples and pustules. To determine if your acne is hormonal or bacterial, consider factors such as the location of the breakouts, the presence of inflammation, and any patterns related to your menstrual cycle. If you are unsure, it is best to consult a dermatologist for a professional evaluation.
