Acne In Chin And Jaw Area After Marriage, Weight Gain. Is It Hormonal Imbalance ?
Hi... It has been a year i have got married and my skin was pretty much clear before.. but since last 6 months i have been getting acne . Most it is on my chin area and on the right side - jaw area... Also my weight has been increased a lot in the last one year... can you please tell me the cause of this? is it because of hormonal imbalance and how to bring it in control?

Hi Reema,
You seem to be having adult onset acne which is basically due to hormonal imbalance. I would suggest you to consult a gynaecologist who would advise the required hormonal assays and ultrasound. Sometimes, sudden onset of acne can be facial or cosmetic induced too. Once the proper cause has been elicited, treatment can be started thereafter to treat it completely. Take care.
Regards,
Dr Kalpana
