I hav been having mild to moderate acne since the past 15 years
Hav used retin-a cream previously when I was a teenager
I never completely got rid of acne except for a time during my 20s for about 1 year.
Now I'm using combination of azelaic acid topically and deriva cms for past 2 montha
Benzoyl peroxide for spot treatment
I used to use salicylic acid but now I'm not using it
I'm using a ceramide moisturizer at night
And eucerin dry touch sunscreen in the morning
My periods r regular .
I hav minimal facial hair and my acne is mainly pustules and whiteheads
Pustules seem to be more common on chin and lower jaw line now...but my problem area has been my cheeks since many years
Should i get checked for hormonal acne
