From Acne to Pigmentation: How Hormonal Shifts Show on the Skin
Skin rarely behaves unpredictably. When breakouts appear in adulthood, pigmentation suddenly develops, or the skin becomes more reactive than before, there is usually an underlying physiological reason.

Patients often tell us, “The mark wasn’t there at […]
