Increased Acne
Losing weight causing acne and reducing hair growth?
Hi there,
I'm an 18 year old female and I'm 5'3. I have went from 135 pounds to 115 over the last two years due to diet change and exercise increase. However, I've noticed extreme changes in my skin (increase in acne breakouts) and my hair has stopped growing and is very brittle. My blood pressure has also dropped quite a bit as well. Are these all related? It's hard for me to simply regain the weight because I am very happy with how my body looks now. Please help!
Although you have lost weight, you may not be healthy. Make sure you are eating an adequate amount of protein (think bananas, beans, and lean cut meats). This could be why your hair is brittle, hair needs protein and healthy fats (unsaturated, and non-trans from fish, beans, etc.). If your blood pressure is unhealthily low then your body fat content sounds a little too low. however, if your blood pressure just dropped to healthy level, that is typical for when you lose weight. your increase in breakouts is most likely unrelated to your weight loss. since your 18 years old, i would talk to my doctor about either going on birth control or starting an acne regmine.
good luck!

Acne - Does Stress Affect Acne?
Acne troubles teenagers most. Acne causes lot of stress to the teenager. Their social interaction and self-confidence is affected by acne. What about stress and its potential to cause acne? It has been found that increased stress does increase acne breakouts.
Acne is caused when the sebaceous gland closes and the sebum is not allowed to pass on to the skin. This accumulated sebum infects the gland and inflammation sets in. with varying level of infection; you get different type of acne. The most severe being cystic and nodular acne.
Try to control your stress and you may be able to reduce acne. Do not get stressed if you get acne because that may worsen it. Do not try different recipes bandied on the Internet. Use proper medication that is available OTC. If you have severe acne, consult your doctor. Please keep this in mind that it takes time to clear acne. It does not go away in a couple of days. Popping acne will only worsen it and may cause scar. I have discussed the findings of the study in brief below.
A new study published in the Swedish journal Acta Dermato-Venereologica, researchers confirm that this is indeed so. The research was conducted in Singapore on teenagers. Their stress levels were measured and that was matched with the acne breakouts. Before exam and after exam stress levels were considered in the study.
The result findings suggest that stress increases acne breakouts. as sebum level changes depending on the weather, Singapore was chosen. Singapore has a quite consistent weather. The research found that sebum level did not change much during the tests, but acne breakouts did increases with stress.
