Before we get into treatment options, let's break down what acne really is. Acne sometimes called acne vulgarisis more than just pimples popping up randomly. It's when hair follicles get clogged with dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria that cause acne. It happens when hair follicles get clogged with dead skin cells, oil and bacteria that cause acne. Hormones, especially androgens, turn up the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, which can lead to inflammation and red, painful bumps.

And guess what? There are different types of acne from mild to moderate acne (which can be effectively managed with topical treatments) to severe cystic acneand each needs a slightly different approach.
One of the trickiest types is hormonal acne, especially common in women. It's linked to the ups and downs of your menstrual cycle and hormone fluctuations like increased androgen levels. These hormones stimulate the oil glands, causing flare-ups mostly around the jawline, chin and lower face.
If you've been struggling with breakouts that come and go with your cycle, Prime Medic offers targeted hormonal acne treatment plans. Our online doctors can prescribe treatments that balance your hormones or reduce oil production, helping to keep your skin clear and your confidence high.
