👉 Adjustment pimples, also known as hormonal acne, are a type of acne caused by hormonal fluctuations, most commonly associated with puberty but also seen in adults due to changes like pregnancy, menopause, or the use of certain medications. These pimples result from increased levels of androgens, hormones that stimulate sebaceous glands to produce excess oil. This excess oil can clog pores, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. Unlike typical acne caused by bacteria, adjustment pimples often appear on the nose, cheeks, and chin due to these hormonal changes. Treatment typically involves managing hormone levels through lifestyle changes, medications like oral contraceptives or anti-androgens, and topical treatments to reduce oil production and inflammation.
