Hello,
This certainly sounds like a hormonal-based type of acne. It may respond to something specific to that, such as some of the birth control pills or a drug call spironolactone. If you prefer not to take oral medications, a topical antibiotic mixed with benzoyl peroxide (which helps to reduce antibiotic resistance) or a topical retain-a cream may help. Barring that, and if it is is severe, there is always Accutane, but his tends to have several annoying side effects (and you'd have to be on the birth control pill anyway). Hope this helps!
