Hi. Stress is unlikely to be the cause of your acne flare-up. Acne is usually hormonally related. If your body produces more androgens than you need you may have acne. Although high androgen levels are most commonCommon cold during pubertyPuberty and adolescence, adult acne is becoming increasingly commonCommon cold.
Have you changed your method of hormonal birth controlControl Control rx recently? FemaleCondoms Female condoms Female sexual dysfunction acne patients often benefit from taking the combined oral contraceptive pill as the oestrogen it contains blocks the actions of androgens on the skin. Avoid the mini-pill, depot shot and hormonal IUD all of which can make acne worse.
Buy an over-the-counter acne preparationPreparation h hydrocortisone such as Freederm (contains Nicotinamide). If your acne persists see your doctor for a stronger gel such as Differin (contains Adapalene).
Best Wishes, Eloise.
