PCOS and Acne

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome PCOS is a hormonal disorder. Overproduction male hormone level causes outward signs characteristic of men. Say hello to increase anxiety and depression.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome PCOS is a hormonal imbalance. PCOS is a major health problem in the US. 1 Almost 10% of teens and young women are living with PCOS. And many women do not know they have the health condition or the serious health problems that can result. Start with the reason for adult acne. 2 

Hormonal imbalance is at the center of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. The body depends on signals from the pituitary gland to produce the right amounts of estrogen-progestogen and testosterone. Without correct signals from the pituitary gland estrogen and progesterone levels drop and testosterone levels increase.

The human body is designed to function properly. If the system is disrupted stands to reason bodily function is disrupt including but not limited to ovulation. Watch for other factors that cause acne:

·        Excess oil production

·        Dead skin cells trapped deep in the pores

·        Bacteria (primarily from Propionibacterium acnes)

·        Excess hormone activity

Stress causes acne. Give every attempt to reduce stress. Avoid unnecessary stress. Free your mind from stress. For example get answers to questions as soon as possible. Free the mind. Limit confusion. Hormonal changes such as pregnancy may cause acne. And certain behaviors can increase risk for acne. 

·        Always drink plenty of water to flush your system.

·        Wash face regularly. Make it part of the daily routine.

·        Use comedogenic skin care products.

Ingredients in over the counter acne medication can help mild outbreaks. Treating hormonal imbalance is only way to clear PCOS related acne. Treat the cause not just the symptoms. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist.  Women with PCOS are at higher risk for anxiety and depression. Follow me and stay tuned for: Crisis Anxiety and Depression next Monday.
