HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the condition of the acne so of course it is due to some hormone changes but it is alone is not the reasons it may associated with other factors too infection is one of them, here in your case the Epilim is not the cause of this but it seems to be your age, but with the proper medicine and diet it comes around, I would advise to see the dermatologist, there is not time period fix for the hormone to get corrected but the most important part is infection and hygiene that's matters the great hope this information helps.
