• Androgen sensitivity or excess
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

• Stopping or changing hormonal contraception
• Pregnancy or post-partum hormonal shifts
• Stress-related hormonal changes
• Insulin resistance

Identifying the hormonal driver is essential for effective treatment.

• Persistent or recurrent breakouts
