All those different messages are usually generated from the brain.

So imagine what happens with our neurotransmitters when we undergo stressful situations, whether it's something that happens when you're crossing the street and you almost run over by a car versus exactly what you said, a stressor in life that's really taking over all your thoughts, your everyday life, that your brain can respond to that in a way where it's trying to help you cope with that stress.

But what happens is when we have stress, the brain can't give off the message to all the other hormones in the way that it could when it wasn't as distracted. And that's why we have to, as physicians, get better at mind-body connection.

Yeah, hormonal acne, again, when we think of, there's different types of acne, just there can be stuff that is due to chemicals that maybe, you know, you're using on your face that are not the best, but usually a lot is hormonal. And you can actually sometimes tell by where it is on your body. What? Where you're getting, yes.

So most hormonal acne can be mostly in kind of the area by right under the eyes or the chin. Why does it go there? Because when we're thinking of where the hormones, you have receptors all over your body that respond to hormones.

And so the receptors that maybe respond more to estrogen or testosterone, there's going to be features or areas on your face that are going to be more prone to the actual area of the breakout, right? And so when we think of what kind of spurs on these changes in hormones, which will then trigger hormonal, a lot of it has to do with testosterone.

Testosterone has a lot to do with sebaceous glands, right? So our sebaceous glands are the ones on all parts of our body that hold the oil. Because we need oil. You know, your face, that's how our body functions. We need oil secretion. But when there's a buildup of those areas and in the glands...

can be an increase in testosterone as well, which then elicit the buildup of oil, which then you get bacteria and then you have acne. Wow. Yeah. And so do you see this a lot with 20-year-olds? I do. They come in and usually what is the best way to treat them? So it's a great relationship we have with dermatologists because they'll have these patients come into them.
