Yes men can have hormonal acne. For men though are hormones shouldnt fluctuate in a pattern like women. If one of your hormone levels is off its usually constantly off for men. The reason you dont see men treating acne with hormonal treatments is because there are not really any safe for men to use. Ex birth control and sprio. Saw P. is safe to try for men.

Thanks for your input. However, men do have hormonal fluctuations:

There is also research to suggest that women arent the only ones with hormonal cycles that affect behavior: Mens testosterone appears to cycle throughout the day, month, and possibly even the seasons, affecting their moods and sexual desire. Also, drops in testosterone with age may trigger something of a male menopause, or andropause. Yet another source of debate is the degree to which hormones may respond to peoples sexual behavior, versus directly influencing it.

Men also have monthly hormonal cycles, though there are some interesting differences and similarities between womens and mens cycles. Womens monthly cycles are more predictable and synchronous. Women who live in close proximity find that their monthly cycles begin to align. Mens cycles seem to be more unpredictable and individual. A study of young men showed that the majority had a discernible cycle of testosterone with repeating rises and falls, but each man who did show a cycle had a cycle unique to himself.

Yes, it is sort of a long-standing myth that men's hormones never change. They certainly do, just not as predictable (or as standardized) as the ovulation cycle in women.

Saw Palmetto does seem to be the go-to herb for men with hormonal acne. Others that are safe for men are vitamin B5, pumpkin seed oil, spearmint tea, stinging nettle, and vitamin A.

My saw palmetto I am taking also contains beta sitosterol, pumpkin seed oil, and stinging nettle. I am hoping that this doesn't completely eliminate my hormones. So far I feel fine, but it's only day 2. I heard some men get lethargic from saw palmetto.

You can if you overdo it. Just listen to your body.

Your estrogen-testosterone balance may be off. If you happen to have more estrogen that testosterone, then saw palmetto will make your acne worse because it will further increase the ratio of estrogen to testosterone by reducing androgens. It's best to get your hormones tested to be certain that anti-androgens are the way to go for you (saliva testing is more reliable than blood tests).
