resets it and allows you to restart in a very systematic and academic way.

So you can pinpoint where are the shortcomings and how can I pivot?

So acne is not just a teenage problem.

I want to start off by saying that I have so many women who are 28, 35, 44 who get acne who are like, I don't understand.

I'm not a teenager anymore.

Wasn't I past this stage of my life?

But there's four subtypes.

One, and we're going to just start with hormonal acne because I mentioned these women, but hormonal acne is driven by hormonal fluctuations that come and go.

And because your skin is your biggest visible organ that has a feedback system, it's going to show up on your skin, especially due to androgen sensitivity.

So testosterone-like hormones.

And patterns are key here.

With hormonal acne, you tend to notice it mostly along the jawline, where you get these deep cystic pimples along your jawline in a cyclical fashion around your period.

And so that clinical history and the physical distribution usually points towards hormonal acne.

Then you have inflammatory acne number two.

Inflammatory acne, you can kind of think of as that classic red pimple pustule on your face, coming and going, a little haphazard on your cheeks, your nose, your forehead, chin, et cetera.

And it is often triggered by overexfoliation, hard products, barrier damage, people who've over-stripped their skin, harsh winters, even if you had done nothing, it can cause it.

That inflammatory acne, if not under control or taken care of, can lead to deeper cystic acne, which is number three.

The deep, painful pimples and nodules that can leave really bad scarring.

And this is one where it is a spectrum.

There is a continuation, but you can also just go straight to cystic acne on your own, just as a predisposition.
