I keep breaking out around my chin and jaw. I changed skincare recently, but I also wonder if it is hormonal. How do people tell the difference?

If it is painful, persistent or scarring, see a dermatologist. Acne can be treated, and guessing through random products gets expensive.

Chin and jaw acne can be hormonal for some people, especially if it follows a cycle. But products, stress and touching your face can still contribute.

Timing helps. If breakouts started soon after a new product and are in areas where you apply it, that product is suspicious. Stop one thing at a time so you can tell.
