Got acne ever since getting my tires replaced in March. It's not due to hormonal imbalance, right?

Patient's question:

After getting my tires replaced in March, I've had pimples on my forehead, back, and chest consistently. My weight has also only increased without any decrease—is it due to hormonal imbalance?

Doctor's answer:

These two factors can lead to excessive sebum secretion, with the amount of sebum increasing by approximately 10% for every 1 degree rise in temperature. In such cases of excessive sebum secretion, acne problems often accompany it. Both heat and humidity accelerate the occurrence of acne.
