If your breakouts follow a clear pattern around your menstrual cycle, or you have other symptoms suggesting a hormonal influence, I take this into account when planning your treatment. Hormonal acne is very common in adult women, and understanding this often helps explain why previous treatments may not have worked. As a doctor, I can also help you understand whether hormones may be playing a role and whether further medical assessment or treatment options might be worth considering alongside your skin treatment.</p>"}
