A member asked:

What should i take or use for hormonal acne on jawline, chin and cheeks? becomes worse during periods

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See dermatologist: There are a few meds that your dermatologist might use for this type of acne....spironolactone, an oral diuretic , is quite effective at a low dose. Top antibiotics and various types of acne washes may also help. Certain birth control pills may be used as well.
