Why do i get acne after my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormonal: There are hormonal changes and fluctuations that happen during a women’s cycle that can cause acne. It is the hormone progesterone that causes the increase production in the facial oil glands such as sebum – a thick oily substance – and causes this acne.
