Acne is a common symptom related to menopause transition. You may experience acne during perimenopause as a result of a fluctuation (and ultimately, a decrease) in estrogen levels or an increase in testosterone. Prescription medication (like prescribed retinoids, birth control pills and spironolactone) is often used to successfully treat acne resulting from menopause. There are also natural/non-pharmaceutical approaches for treating menopausal acne, like Tea Tree Oil, Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and a plant-based diet.
For skin of color, preventing and treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is just as important as clearing pimples. Gentle, steady routines plus daily sunscreen are key.
