What Causes Sore Skin Pimples During Mensuration Cycle?
Hello I wanted to inquire about a strange thing that happens to me every once in a while around my cycle time. I seem to get these under the skin pimples that are very sore come up. I only get one at a time, they do not come to a "head" and do not seem to be an ingrown hair, but I have had them for as long as I can remember after starting puberty. My mom has seemed to have something similar and it is only around my cycle time so I am assuming it is hormone controlled. I have been checked for herpes etc and also had 2 different Gyno's look at one and they were not able to give me an answer.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have presence of sore skin pimples during mensuration cycle which is mainly because of hormonal changes in your body which is leading to these imbalances. You should get your hormone levels monitored. I would suggest you to start with topical application of Saslic DS which is face wash you should use regularly and gel containing clindamycin in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night time. You should visit dermatologist once and get yourself examined. Drink plenty of water. Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30.Don't use any cosmetics containing much chemicals. Avoid use of topical steroids. Use azaleic acid cream based cream at night time as well. Recent methods are used for skin enhancement such as Chemical peeling, dermabrasion, Dermaroller.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
