To what extent are menstrual cycles and lifestyle records checked during an acne consultation?

I am a woman in my 30s concerned about acne and enlarged pores. I am wondering if acne consultations check for changes related to lifestyle habits or the menstrual cycle, in addition to the condition of the skin surface. I would like to know what records are necessary before assuming a specific cause on my own.

For example, would it be helpful for the consultation if I wrote down the location and date of breakouts, the start date of my period, and my sleep duration? I am also curious if there is a difference in the direction of the consultation between observing changes over just a few days and comparing changes over several weeks. Please let me know how long the record-keeping period should be, and whether I should maintain consistent lighting or distance when taking photos.

I would like to know if there is a range of things that can be confirmed through a dermatological examination alone, even when I suspect changes before and after my period. By what criteria do you determine when other treatments or tests need to be considered? Since I don't think all acne requires testing, I would like to organize the items to be checked during the consultation rather than worrying unnecessarily.

Should pore concerns be recorded separately from inflammatory changes? The attached image is for reference only for the question; after the consultation, you will be guided to divide changes to monitor and symptoms to report immediately. I want to.
