Let’s talk about acne.  I’m not talking about a few pimples here and there, I am talking about breakouts or cystic acne. I get a lot of questions about this type of acne. Often, high androgens are a big contributor to this type of acne. Androgens are testosterone and testosterone cousins DHT (di-hydro testosterone) and androstenedione. These androgens act in the skin tissue to increase sebum (skin oil). Sebum provides a great place for bacteria to grow.  The androgens also increase the amount of cells that are shed and stay in the pores, blocking them and causing infections. Together, the increased sebum, and more dead cells within the pores, cause blockage of the pores and infection with inflammation, leading to acne.

What do I do about it?

Does your anxiety cycle?

If your anxiety is worse at certain times of the month, histamine could be a factor.  As estrogen levels spike throughout the month, so does your histamine, which can bring on anxiety attacks for some women.
