Can irregular periods cause acne?

Patient's question:

This month, my period didn't come on time, and I've broken out with a lot of acne. I want to ask if irregular periods can cause acne? Why do I get so many pimples when I don't have my period?

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation is likely due to our endocrine disorders. Once there is another occurrence of excretion disorders in our body's endocrine system, it will lead to excessive water and oil in the skin, resulting in acne. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause of the irregular menstruation and then take targeted treatment measures. In daily life, avoid working overtime, eating too much cold food, or consuming too many spicy and irritating foods. In terms of care, it is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and pay close attention to hygiene.
