What is it?
Hormonal acne in adolescents occurs due to hormonal fluctuations during puberty that increase oil production in the skin. This excess oil clogs pores and leads to breakouts that commonly appear on the forehead, cheeks, jawline, chin, chest, and back. The acne may present as blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed pimples, or painful nodules and often worsens around periods, stress, or rapid growth phases.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on balancing oil production, controlling inflammation, and preventing long-term skin damage. The dermatologist evaluates acne severity, hormonal patterns, and lifestyle factors. Treatment may include prescription topical medications, oral treatments when required, gentle chemical peels, and age-appropriate skincare routines to manage hormonal breakouts safely.
