What is hormonal acne?

Acne is experienced by about 50% of young women, though it affects all ages and genders.

Hormonal acne is caused by the overproduction of sebum (skin oil). Imbalances in your hormones are often the root cause, with symptoms worsening pre- or -post menstrual cycle. You might also have symptoms like irregular periods, excessive hair growth, or hair loss. No matter how your acne shows up, our doctors can provide solutions better than anything over the counter– tailored for you.

FAQs

Hormonal Treatment

Birth Control pills are really good for those that want/need them. They are FAR more effective than abstinence or condoms for preventing unplanned pregnancies. They can be used to treat acne, anemia, bad cramps, PCOS. They can be used to turn off your periods Did you know that you can skip your periods??? As Dr. Berg pointed out – they can decrease your risk of several cancers.

Yes. Generics, by law, have the same active ingredients as their name-brand versions. Generics may differ on the inactive ingredients.

Unfortunately all birth control pills have a tiny amount of lactose. If you want vegan, we have the twirla patch. Or you can ask your doctor for other patches, the ring, or see a doctor in person for the IUD, implant, shot. Another option are vegan condoms + spermicide.

Twirla is a birth control patch that has estrogen and levonorgestrel. You change it once a week. We have a special deal with them if you do NOT have insurance such that it’s only $50/3 patches vs. usually $150+. If you have insurance, it should be covered with NO copay, no deductible.

Yes, in the state of California, you can get birth control without your parents knowing. Minors have the right to get treatment for the prevention of pregnancy without requiring their parent’s permission. However, you will have to pay for the treatment or have to sign up for special insurance to cover it or they have to contact the insurance and tell the insurance company that they want “privacy.”

To pay for the treatment, you just need a credit card. (We don’t accept Venmo or other payment yet)

To sign up for special insurance, go to http://www.familypact.org/Get%20Covered/what-does-family-pact-cover and go to the top R and fill in your zip code, and it will give you a list of clinics you can go to sign up for Family PACT insurance which covers birth control confidentially.

You can also tell your insurance company that you want your birth control treatment confidential. Find out how here.

We encourage minors to talk to their parents, but if they can’t then we want to help young people prevent unplanned pregnancies. It is also important to prevent sexually transmitted infections by using condoms in order to have a healthy sexual life.

Some pills may be better than others. Very-low-estrogen pills that contain drospirenone, desogestrol or norgestimate seem to have the greatest negative impact on libido and vaginal dryness, so if you’re taking one of these, talk to your doctor about whether it’s contributing to any symptoms you might have. Use a silicone lubricant, and ask your doctor for a prescription for hormonal creams to apply to the opening of the vagina. And know that you are not crazy.

Dr. Goldstein discovered that about 5% of women have a genetic variant that results in a defective or inefficient testosterone receptor. These women require much more testosterone to keep the vulvar and vaginal tissue healthy and for their glands to function normally. The effects are not obvious until testosterone levels become lower than normal, but that happens to every woman who takes the pill.

So, in women with this genetic variant, the problem is threefold:

  1. The pill causes the ovaries to produce less total testosterone and less is in a usable form.
  2. The synthetic progesterone found in newer birth control pills poisons the testosterone receptor at high doses.
  3. The testosterone receptor doesn’t work well, making it extra dependent on high amounts of testosterone being present.
