A member asked:

Can acne be a sign of ovulating.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: Ovulation is caused by variations in your hormone levels, specifically of estrogen and progesterone. The rise of certain hormones can alter the skin in terms of how much oil is secreted, etc. It is possible that you could get an increase in acne during certain parts of your cycle.
