Acne is a skin condition which causes inflammation of the skin producing whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Mostly, pimples and skin eruptions due to acne are seen on the face, cheeks, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. It is believed that hormonal changes tend to cause acne. There are many causes of acne, but if you are wondering whether hormonal changes can cause acne, keep reading to learn all about it.
What are the Causes of Acne?
When hair follicles become clogged with sebum (oil) and dead skin cells, makes the skin vulnerable for acne and causes acne.
How Are Hormones And Acne Related?
Hormones affect the development of the sebaceous glands. During puberty, there is an increase in the male hormones (androgens), and these hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum. Excessive production of sebum causes the hair follicles to get clogged, thereby can be the cause of acne.
Effects Of Hormones In Males & Females:
During puberty, hormonal changes in both girls and boys (rise in male sex hormone testosterone in both girls and boys) causes the growth of penis and testicles in males and increase in the muscles and bone strength in the females. And, these increased hormones result in acne during puberty.
However, over the years, as puberty passes away, relief from acne improves in the males. Unlike this, the problem of acne persists in females due to three major events in a female’s life which cause hormonal changes. Mentioned below are some of the reasons for hormonal change and also causes acne.
a. The Menstrual Cycle: This is because the menstrual cycle causes a rise and fall in hormones which indirectly affect the skin producing acne.
b. The Pregnancy: Even pregnancy causes an increase in androgens (male hormones) which trigger acne.
c. The Menopause: Along with many other symptoms, such as hot flushes, irregular menstrual problems, and other discomforts, occurring during menopause, acne too are aggravated due to the hormonal fluctuations.
How Can We Keep Our Hormones & Acne Under Control?
Even though hormonal changes can cause acne, following certain healthy tips can help you control acne effectively. Here are some helpful tips to control acne.
