Can hormonal imbalance cause acne?

[Avantika]

Hi, I am 24 years old. I have acne on my jawline and neck. I tried multiple medicines, face wash, and creams. I can’t get rid of acne. I read somewhere that it can be because of hormonal change. Is it because of hormonal imbalance? What should I do?

@minipaliwal Hey, have you visited a doctor and tested your hormone level? If not then do visit a doctor because hormones aren’t the Only Cause of Acne.

@avantika Hey, getting acne on the jawline and neck can be an indicator of hormonal imbalance. Acne in the jawline region is caused by sebaceous glands producing excess oil (sebum) due to hormonal stimulation but do check your hormones level. I am in my 30s and still have acne due to hormonal imbalance. It's normal to have acne.
