Hormonal acne mainly affects the face, back, chest, and shoulders, causing various types of skin lesions including:

Whiteheads (closed and clogged pores)

Blackheads (clogged pores that are open)

Papules (small red and painful bumps)

Pimples (pus-filled papules)

Nodules (big, firm, and painful lumps under the skin)

Following a nutrient-dense diet, cutting out dairy, and limiting added sugars are evidence-based practices that may improve acne symptoms. Taking certain supplements like vitamin D and green tea extract, getting enough sleep, quitting smoking, and reducing stress are other healthy ways to fight this disease
