Hormones play an indirect but active part in acne. Male hormones have a greater effect on excess oil production that can cause acne than do female hormones. It is important to note that male hormones and female hormones of the ovarian type are very similar in their structural configuration. Because the hormones released during women's monthly cycles are structurally similar to male hormones, oil gland activity and formation of acne can result.
