Heal Your Hormones with Dr. Danielle

152. FRIDAY CHATS: Differentiating Hormonal vs Non-Hormonal Acne


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Danielle discusses the difference between hormonal acne and food sensitivity acne. She explains that hormonal acne is typically deep, cystic, and located along the jawline and chin. It can fluctuate with hormonal changes and may be accompanied by symptoms like hair loss and facial hair growth. On the other hand, food sensitivity acne is more surface-level, smaller, and located on the cheeks and forehead. It is not cyclical and may be accompanied by digestive symptoms. Dr. Danielle also emphasizes the importance of identifying food triggers with the help of a healthcare provider.


Takeaways

  • Hormonal acne is deep, cystic, and located along the jawline and chin. It can fluctuate with hormonal changes and may be accompanied by symptoms like hair loss and facial hair growth.
  • Food sensitivity acne is more surface-level, smaller, and located on the cheeks and forehead. It is not cyclical and may be accompanied by digestive symptoms.
  • It is important to identify food triggers with the help of a healthcare provider rather than restricting oneself from multiple potential trigger foods.
  • Testing hormones and doing a GI map test can provide valuable insights into the underlying causes of acne.
