The role of hormones in adult acne

In this episode, we will be talking about hormones and their relationship to acne. Acne vulgaris has an underlying hormonal component where androgens such as testosterone are increased in the body. This ultimately results in an overproduction of sebum (aka oil) production and skin cells that clog pores. Today you’ll learn about what hormones are, how they contribute to the development of acne in adults, and how certain foods such as whey protein and simple carbohydrates lead to acne by increasing certain hormones in the body. We’ll also go over some medications beyond testosterone that can lead to the formation of acne, in addition to hormonal conditions associated with acne vulgaris such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Join us in today’s episode as we discuss hormones and how an imbalance can contribute to acne in adults.
