Do you suffer from adult onset acne? If you are concerned that you may have hormonal acne, this video goes in depth into the signs and symptoms of hormonal acne. Hormonal acne treatment may involve oral contraceptives. It may also be linked to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). It can be distinct from physiologic acne, which affects the T-zone. Hormonal acne affecting females involves the U-zone which is the jawline and area around the mouth. The advent of maskne means that hormonal acne can be worsened by mask wearing. That can result in an acne pattern following the “O-zone” as described by Dr Teo. There are various acne treatments available, but which is suitable for hormonal acne?

Acne itself is caused by genetics, bacteria and oil production triggered by hormones all of which lead to inflammation and formation of comedones, papules and cysts.
The ideal acne skincare routine treats the skin microbiome, regulates the skin microenvironment, oil production and also reduces inflammation and flare-ups. Cleansing plays a huge role, as do spot acne treatments. This podcast explains the science behind cosmeceutical treatments for acne.

What you consider an acne bump and call a pimple or a zit—well, dermatologists term these papules, pustules and cysts! A papule is essentially a scientific description of what bumps look like on skin. While papules are most commonly found in acne they can also occur in eczema, insect bites, allergies as well as other forms of dermatitis. Along the way, you may also have heard of pustules—well, a pustule is a bump too. But one that also contains pus at its tip; cysts on the other hand are deeper, larger and may require different treatments. Did you find that fascinating? Well, me too! Join me, board-certified dermatologist Dr Teo Wan Lin as we delve deep into the science of acne bumps in this week’s episode of the acne podcast.
