Have A Very Oily Skin Along With Pimple During Periods. No Medication Or Test Done. What Is Going On?
I am having a very oily skin and my face drains so much that it does not matter what make up I wear, the oil will over shadow my make and running my face. Is this hormonal issue;
I have pimples that always come a least 2 day before my period and disappears thereafter but this month it tends to last longer. The pimples are big just like little boils on my face. What is going on?
hello, Thank you for consulting HCM. The condition you are facing is due to harmonal imbalance during menstrual cycle.Androgens plays an important roe in this and you need to be much more conscious about this during your periods.Avoiding oils foods,making your face hygenic can help you during your periods if it is too high your can consult obgyn or endocrinologist for the medications.And have harmonal profile too.Thank you.
Increased oil on face is due to increased secretion of oil from the sebaceous glands which do so under the influence of hormonal stimulation mainly androgens.
You have premenstrual flare up of acne which is a very common condition. This is again due to hormonal changes during this period.
Acne is multifactorial. Other factors include blockage of pores, accumulation of sebum within the duct, bacterial proliferation, stress etc.
