Androgens -- testosterone in particular. Your estrogen levels drop around the time before your period and you may notice that's when you get pimples. As estrogen drops, testosterone naturally rises --lucky you, you get pimples!

If you are a woman in your mid life (30's ) the best way to make sure your body is in balance is to request a hormone profile from your obgyn. This is a simple blood test drawn at certain times of the month (your doctor and you can figure that out) and then reveals what levels your estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and other hormones (thyroid) etc... are and if they are correct. Not only can an imbalance cause adult acne, but also can cause depression (too little estrogen affects seratonin --- too much progesterone can also cause depression symptoms) -- so, it's really important to know your levels so you're not being incorrectly treated for something that could be another.

Will going off the pill cause acne?

AnswerI'm not sure if going off the contraceptive pill will 'cause' acne, but I do believe that your differing hormones levels increase the possibilities of acne occurring. Twice I have gone off the pill, and twice I have had acne.. However, I also believe that every woman is different, hormone levels are different at different times of the month, and therefore there are different levels of hormones in each type of pill. So there is no set answer to this question.
