Hormonal Acne

Hormonal Acne is normally seen in females aged eighteen to fifty, though there are some cases where acne and breakouts begin later in life, typically along the chin and neck area. These pimples are inflamed, red, and lie underneath the skin, and can be difficult to treat. 

Why breakouts now? Hormones are the leading cause of breakouts, not particularly an increased or decreased amount in hormones, but an unstable combination. Changes in hormones can happen at anytime, dealing with the results is the hard part. No worries! Skintap has found the best treatment options for your needs. 

Oral Treatment Versus Topical 

There are many treatment options available to treat hormonal acne, both topical as well as an oral treatments. Determining what form of treatment that best suits you is something Skintap does best. Dr. Morgana Columbo recommends Spironolactone, which is an oral diuretic that aids in acne treatment as well as hair loss in women. This oral treatment option, used in combination with topical lotions or creams will give you the best results for clear radiant skin!

There are topical treatments available too, topical antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and retinol creams are just a few that Dr. Columbo recommends. Using topical treatments not only aid with acne treatments but aid in fine lines and wrinkles; improving the overall appearance of your skin.
