Low progesterone causing acne ?

Hi everyone, I'm a 32 year old female who never had acne until last year. My dermatologist tried different treatments and nothing is clearing up my acne, so I went to the gynecologist last week and she asked for some blood work. My estrogen levels are ok my testosterone is low but my progesterone is basically 0.

I stopped getting my periods last year around March and the acne started showing up in July.

Ps: I never took birth controll pills and I was never pregnant.

Could my low progesterone and acne be related ? What should I ask my gynecologist at my next appointment? Anyone dealing with a similar situation?

 

Any insides much appreciated
