This isn’t spoken about enough. Topical treatments are seen as the “cure all” & while they can help, ultimately if the acne is hormonal, like mine…the hormones need to be managed etc. I take the pill & that’s the only way to control it for me. I get nothing on my cheeks or forehead but from the nose downwards it’s another story! Thanks for sharing this doc 👍
What pill do you take?
@@hippybeccaI think she means the pill as in birth control pill. It worked for me as well
@@mi3797what are the side effects though I don’t want to take it tbh
@@Ohkeh640 so many side effects. It worked well for me for like 3 years then I started getting way more depressed than before and my puss got dry as hell and I was never horny so yeah. But I did get amazing skin tho. I stopped taking them 3 months ago and my skin is still good
I stopped taking birth control because my neurologist said that this could be the cause of my migraines and now my skin is going crazy……
Yes I got cystic acne on my chin starting at age 30. Never had acne. Made horrible scars on my chin
Hi, Please did you find any solutions ? Thanks
@@SamiraBoudjelal-yj5qu epiduo helped with the acne. Now that I don’t have the cystic acne, tretinoin and glycolic acid helped a little.
Girlies. Don’t limit yourself to a derm either. This guy is fabulous but my dermatologist couldn’t give a whit about me. If you’re struggling with hormonal acne, GO SEE A GYNECOLOGIST. And make sure to advocate for yourself. There might be an underlying issue like endometriosis or PCOS.
Still all they know to give for PCOS is the pill
I have wayyyyyyyy more acne and hormonal acne now that I’m an adult than I ever did as a teen. It sucks.
Me too ):
Me too! Nothing is working for me and it's getting worse
I feel you girl, do you get any solution , I really tired
@@SamiraBoudjelal-yj5qu The only thing that kind of worked for me- I stopped wearing makeup except occasionally, i use a basic soap to wash my face since anything else breaks me out, and my skin has gotten extremely dry- a ceramide barrier serum and cream.
I had menopausal acne at aged 54 for over a year and eventually differin gel cleared it up completely
Thanks for sharing.
I have hormonal acne. I dont eat sugar. I dont even own sugar in my house. But my acne is on my jaw and it just doesnt fully go away. I knew it was because i eat so healthy there is no way.
we are on the same boat! it suck when you try to eat healthy and sacrifice eating/drinking your fav drink/food but its still not workingg 😢
@@jellyjay1060 it's on my chin. Which means it's hormonal. Uhhhhh. What can we do.
@@Gaibreelmine is worst it's on my neck and it's purging for a year, i tried cutting mostly sugar(it doesnt work) idk about bread bcs some people said it does, sleep early to drop cortisol doesnt work, the last thing maybe my stress inhibitor something about not being able to go out or something makes me stress(?) pandemic is shit.
@@Gaibreeltried the zinc vitamin, and all daily vitamin also doesnt work and now im about to try yogurt bcs idk it help with my stomach i guess(?) my acne only flare up crazy on neck and nowhere else, chin and neck they said it was a gut problem.
Mine also on jawline and chin😢
I started taking birth control to control my hormonal acne, and it worked great! Then I developed migraines and my risk of stroke increased. Had to stop the BC and my hormonal acne came back, but the migraines have mostly resolved. I will never go back on BC.
Hello, did you still have acne or did you find any solution ? Thanks
I took BC pills for a good 10 years or so, and still dealt with hormonal acne. Went off the pill last fall. Still having occasional breakouts but not worse than before. Aldactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic(primarily prescribed to treat high blood pressure and edema) which can cause a persons potassium levels to get too high, which can cause cardiac arrhythmia. This wasn’t mentioned in the video.
In my case oral contraceptives, standard treatment, oral antibiotics, CurAcne, nothing helped. Turned out I have hyper prolactinoma. All the treatment was just "covering it" and delayed a proper diagnosis, so don't wait girls! See your endocrinologists asap and get the reason treated, not only covered
I've been dealing with it for about 20 years now. The one and only thing that works for me is the contraceptive pill.
Mine started early 20s got worse as I grew older. What's worst is after seeing dermatologists nothing changed.
Contraceptive pills gave me terrible side effects unrelated to acne, and I tried a few of them. So frustrating because they did completely clear away my acne, but it just wasn't worth the other side effects
Talk to your doctor about spironolactone! I can't take hormonal birth control bc of a clotting disorder, but spironolactone was safe for me and totally eliminated my acne.
What side effects I don’t like that and I’ve heard that also
@@nmfittsthat can cause birth defects if you get pregnant
Honestly i think i rather deal with the hormonal acne. Until theres an option other than birth control or blocking androgens. I don't want to change my appearance other than my skin.
Since when does the pill change your appearance
@@Jjangbunbun blocks testosterone. Feminizes you.
@@JjangbunbunGirl really?? BC makes you gain weight, hair fall out, and god forbid you stop taking it because you’ll get bad acne and ovarian cysts. I hope your a teenager or something because if your a grown adult you should really be educated on the truth of BC.
I turned 40 in April and since then Ive been experiencing hormonal acne. :-( i dont mind having a pimple for a week, what gets to me is the hyperpigmentation it leaves behind. My prevoously clear skin now has brown spota in that u pattern. Im using serums, alpha arbutin amd of course sunscreen to help fade the hyperpigmentation. It works but it's slow going
Thnxx for sharing!!
Whats your opinion on witch hazel? I put it on daily after I wash my face then apply moisturizer once it’s dried. Thanks dr!
Why dermatologist and not endocrinologist?
Appreciate you babe 💕
Going through hormonal acne during my first trimester. Started at U area and suddenly entire face. Doctor nkt encourage to take any medication or certain skincare ingredient she ask me to just let it be n do the normal skincare routine. Stress bout it but everything went back to normal during my third trimester but leave behind PIH and pit scar on my skin.😩
Have you considered an acid peel or other treatment you could get at the derm's office?
I am going through this right now. I am in my first trimester and my skin is going crazy.
I feel so defeated.
My hormonal acne is awful.
I’ve done Accutane twice.
I can’t take hormonal contraceptives (clotting factor)
Spironolactone made me too dizzy to drive
Winlevi isn’t available where I live or covered by my insurance.
I don’t want to leave the house anymore.
Hubby and I are trying to conceive (ttc) so I stopped taking the pills 3 years ago.
Unfortunately, that's when all h*ll broke loose on my face and tons of acne appeared on my cheeks, leaving scars after the acne goes away.
I've seen some dermatologists but, because I'm ttc, they said they can't recommend much so that was disappointing as well.
Wearing a mask during COVID didn't help either.
Still trying to conceive so not sure what else I can do. 😥
I figured, I'll give it another 2 years or so and, if family planning fails by then, I'll opt for laser treatments or something 😞
Please read about " Myo - inositol "it will help you.
What about red or blue light
what if you’re not a candidate for hormonal treatments like the pill or spiro?
What about accutane?
What about Myo inositol?
Do I need a sunscreen if I am not going out in sun at all during my Accutane/Isotretinoin cycle period. Kindly suggest. Thanks!
I’m 48 and why is it I’m still getting this acne every time I get my period,the last time was so bad the extraction was hard and white but then there were hard nodules scaring under my skin.
Had like 8 bumps
I've been dealing with cystic hormonal acne for about six years now.. I'm pale so The scars last months after as well.. It sucks really bad, nothing works and who can afford a dermatologist these days?
I’m 15 year old male. And I am pretty sure that have have this, can someone explain why and how to treat it. 😢
Damn I’ve been on tretinoin a bit over a year and can’t get rid of damn jaw acne whiteheads blackheads pimples wth 😢 I don’t want to take pills etc
Plz more content about hair loss 🙏 is the new medication you mentioned wenlevee (? Not sure if the spelling 🥲) for hair loss as well?
Is any of the above recommendations safe for pregnancy? Ovbs not the pill 😅, tretinoin or spirinalactone 😅 i think there was only one other mention i haven't heard of 😢. Could blue light work & be safe during pregnancy? Like on the Qure Mask?
Azealic acid, look it up
Be very careful w chemicals during pregnancy and good luck
Um is this concerning or normal but i started to get hormonal acne when i was 11-
(was it bc of my period..?)
Dermatologists never help me though
Same girl same.
My doctors have been trying to lower my androgens for years when they should have just said “you’re allergic to sugar” CUT OUT SUGAR and heal your body. Those are bandaid fixes.
Try a high quality omega-3 before you try any prescription products. Your derm isnt taught this in med school unfortunately.
Chia seeds are enough?😢
I've been on omega 3 for about 4 years. Made no difference to my skin.
@@roche320 look into vitamin D, zinc, vitamin B5, evening primrose oil
I’ve been on so many brands of birth control and nothing helps .
Spironolactone isn’t doing shit for me
Try looking into a high quality omega 3 supplement.
It takes a few months.
how long did you take it?
They always give the pill for everything, what about us who actually have regular menstrual cycles and can't take the pill? (Family history of breast cancer)
Or people with anxiety/depression who will become extremely worse on BC and then they can just throw antidepressants at us next!
Women, please don't take birth control for acne.
Right this is horrible advice and these doctors just want to shove BC in our face for every reason. The teenagers really need to be protected and young 20s because many don’t know better and think BC is normal when really it can destroy you mentally and physically.
This is a discussion between a woman and her medical providers. Don't give blanket medical advice. I do agree however that it shouldn't be presented as the only option.
It’s not the only treatment but that doesn’t mean nobody should take it. I have pcos and high androgen levels and both ob/gyn and dermatologist agreed on me taking birth control for my acne. And it worked. Now I’m on androgen blockers to maintain a low testosterone level. Please don’t give out misinformation without proof or explanation and evidence.
I hate when the bc pill is their only solution. Unfortunately topical spiro hasnt helped and my acne has gotten worse and painful all over my chin and lower cheeks. I have thrown thousands of dollars down the drain trying to cure it. Its embarrassing to leave the house
Bruh ... why does no one talk about MALE hornonal acne 😮💨 ya boy need some help
when will dermatologists start acknowledging dietary solutions
theyre not taught about nutrition so they ignore it
Exactly like omega-3 which a lot of women have had success with for hormonal acne.
noooooooo DONT TAKE SPIRONOLACTONE 😰😭😭😭 THAT PILL MADE ME GAIN 60 POUNDS
Hello there! I hope you're doing well today. I just wanted to share with you a beautiful verse from the Bible, Ephesians 5:1-2. Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. What does this mean? Well, here it is. Specifically, we're to walk in love just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us in his death on the cross. In other words, true imitation of God looks like loving others just as Christ loved others: loving God with all of his heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving his neighbors as himself.
🌷
Glad I ain't no female 😂
Am I the only man who has this shi
Na many guys have it
