PCOS Acne: Why Hormones Cause Breakouts and What Helps
This: PCOS acne is commonly driven by hormone changes, especially excess androgens and sometimes by insulin resistance, so treatment usually pairs standard.
Hormonal Acne Treatment in Lahore
Hormonal acne treatment in Lahore is for adult women whose jaw and chin acne keeps returning, and consultant endocrinologist Dr. Rizwan Niazi offers it at Diabesity Solutions. This assessment begins once creams and antibiotics have failed to settle the skin, with androgen tests that include 17-OHP to tell PCOS apart from an adrenal cause. Its treatment then targets whichever the tests show: PCOS, adrenal androgen excess or insulin resistance.

Signs Your Acne Is Hormonal
Acne that flares in the week before a period and sits on the jaw, chin and neck points to a hormonal cause; acne on the forehead and nose is more often the ordinary comedonal kind.
The flare comes in the second half of the cycle, when oestrogen falls in relation to progesterone and androgen activity rises. Androgens make the oil glands produce more sebum, which blocks pores and inflames them. In adult women this kind of acne tends to last, unlike teenage acne.
Other signs often come with hormonal acne: irregular periods, excess facial hair, thinning scalp hair and weight gain.
Hormonal Causes of Acne in Women
PCOS is the most common hormonal cause; adrenal androgen excess, late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia and insulin resistance are the others, and thyroid problems play only an indirect part.
PCOS raises androgens, and more androgen means more oil and worse acne. The adrenal glands can also make too much DHEAS on their own, apart from the ovaries, and a DHEAS test picks this up.
Late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia appears in adulthood and can look just like PCOS. High insulin pushes the ovaries to make more androgens. An underactive thyroid can make the skin oilier and slow skin cell turnover, but androgens remain the main driver for most women.
Hormonal Acne Treatment in Lahore Starts With Blood Tests
The tests are total and free testosterone, DHEAS, SHBG, 17-OHP, LH, FSH, oestradiol, prolactin, fasting insulin and thyroid function, with a pelvic ultrasound when PCOS is likely.
Androgen and insulin markers, LH, FSH and the scan are read as one set to confirm or rule out PCOS, and the panel as a whole guides which treatment fits.
What Changes With Hormonal Acne Treatment in Lahore
In most women, treating the cause brings a clear and lasting improvement, and the full benefit usually shows over three to six months.
Anti-androgen therapy is one route; the others treat PCOS or the adrenal glands directly, or bring insulin resistance under control. Treating the source gives a fuller and longer-lasting result than creams alone. Follow-up visits check the skin and the blood results together until the improvement holds.
