Why does menstruation cause me to have more acne?
During your menstrual cycle, your hormones are out of balance, causing your acne to appear around your jaw line, lower face and chin. This type of acne is called Menstrual Cycle pimples. Certain hormones rise while you are having your menstrual cycle and thus cause the acne to strike you. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, although it’s surely a tell-tell sign of when you do have your cycle.
In adult women the most common reason for acne break out is when she’s having her menstrual cycle. Acne lesions tend to appear a few days before and after your cycle. While acne can be an unwanted symptom in most cases if this is the only time you suffer from acne it will be gone in just a few days.
