Hormonal fluctuations, particularly those related to androgens like testosterone, can contribute to acne development in females. Androgens can stimulate the production of sebum, which can result in clogged pores and breakouts. Estrogen and progesterone may also play a role by influencing hormone balance and oil production in the skin. If you suspect hormonal factors may be contributing to your acne, it can be helpful to consult with a dermatologist or healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
