A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormonal Acne: Women sometimes experience an increase in acne eruptions in the week preceding their menstrual period. Researchers are not exactly sure why, but they agree that it is related to hormonal changes during the cycle. Doctors sometimes prescribe birth control pills as a treatment because these drugs block androgens and lower testosterone.
