Is acne really due to endocrine disorders

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday and only had my endocrine estrogen and testosterone checked. The results showed low estrogen and slightly low testosterone. Is this considered endocrine disorder? Should I take royal jelly to supplement? Are the acne caused by endocrine disorder, specifically low estrogen? Can I take royal jelly to supplement?

Doctor's answer:

It is caused by excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands. It is recommended that you drink more water, eat less high-fat food, and completely avoid alcohol, spicy foods, and cosmetics. Wash more often with hot water to keep the pores open. Pay close attention not to squeeze, as this can easily lead to infection and even pose a risk. Additionally, take oral zinc gluconate and eat more vegetables. Avoid MSG and chicken essence, as they may increase zinc excretion. Zinc deficiency can cause this condition.
