Jawline acne is caused when hair follicles clog up. Key factors include:
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menstruation, and birth control pills.
- Shaving: Irritation from shaving, especially with old or dirty razors.
- Beauty Products: Oil-based cosmetics can clog pores.
- Diet: High glycemic foods like sugary drinks and processed foods.
- Stress: Increases oil production, leading to breakouts.
Over-the-counter treatments may help, but severe cases might need prescription medications. Improvements can take several weeks.
