About this condition
Acne along the jawline, or acne accompanied by irregular periods and unwanted hair, is hormonal and will not resolve with face washes. Treatment addresses the hormonal pattern, PCOS where present, and the digestive and dietary factors involved, alongside preventing the scarring that follows picking.
Symptoms we see
- Persistent acne on jawline, chin or back
- Flares with the menstrual cycle
- Deep painful cystic spots
- Post-acne marks and scarring
- Oily skin and large pores
- Associated irregular periods
Not every patient has every symptom — and the combination present is precisely what determines the remedy.
