Hormonal Acne

It is also known as adult acne, affecting both men and women but mainly women. It is one of the most common conditions caused by clogged pores. The clogged pores result from dead skin layers, bacteria, and excess sebum, an oily substance created from the sebaceous gland in the middle layer of the skin. It can appear in the form of whiteheads, blackheads, and cysts. Topical creams like Tretinoin and Retinoid help in treating such acne.
