Acne, Hormones and Women
We’ve discussed about corticosteroids and we’ve said that these are some hormones or drugs that have hormone-like effects. But our bodies contain other many, many hormones and our health depends on their being properly balanced.
When you feel that something is not working inside you and physicians shake their heads without being able to say what the matter is, it could be in fact related to hormones.
These little parts of our organism are amazing! They are practically abstract and invisible, but they manage everything!
However, women will always know more when it comes to hormones because they seem to suffer the most because of them. Women are more sophisticated and sensitive than men because only they are able to bear children. They are the only creatures that can bring to this world our next presidents, astronauts, physicians, chemists, warriors, rappers, murderers, painters or simple, common people.
Women will always be different because of this single reason. They are capable of giving birth. But although some of them won’t ever have a child, they all share the same monthly physical process.
And for millions of these women, it happens like clockwork every month: cramping, mood swings, bloating, and ACNE. Before their period, women change a lot both from the physical and psychological point of view. And this happens every month, more or less sharp!
They change both from the physical and psychical point of view because hormones control everything: they control the way we feel, as well as the way we look. They can bring us acne, as well as other even severer diseas…
So, because of hormones, women’s mood is changing from a second to another; they can now cry and then laugh; they can suffer all kind of pains or inner, almost mystic deceptions. And most of then are also irritated by all those acne spots from their faces!
And it all has to do with hormones.
Experts have always known that acne is influenced by hormones, but research on this topic has been relatively limited. However, there is a recent study, conducted by dermatologist Alan Shalita, MD, which confirmed that nearly half of all women from all over the world experience acne flare-ups during the week preceding their period. We will try to find Dr. Alan Shalita’s entire study and to share with you the information, but until then let us start digging a little bit and find out more about hormonal acne.
As you might have already guessed, these articles will address only women’s problems related to acne. Men can also read so that they could find out more about their beloved wives, girlfriends or even sisters and their monthly fights against lots of more or less imaginary things.
Thus men will be able to understand women better and to be alongside them when they are in need.
