Acne

[GirlAfraid23]

Does anyone suffer from bad skin especially acne due to stress and anxiety?

I know that mine flares up in times of extreme anxiety

I was particularly okay the summer just gone...everything seemed to be going ok for me FOR ONCE and my skin was virtually clear!

Just wondering if anyone else has this

Hi there
Yes darling, i have suffered with acne and really oily skin for years, however in the last 18 months it worsened and the boils were awful!!!! I even have been admitted to hospital 3 times cos they turned into celulitus ( a dangerous condition) which meant IV drip and brain scan etc.
Anyway, i do believe its stems from years of panic, i suffer with health anxiety. Finally, i said enough is enough and went to see a derm, she has put me on Roaccutane, and WOW its worked wonderfully!!!! Im 6 weeks into a 16 week course, my skin looks amazing, but to be honest its making my panic attacks a bit worse. Im going to tell the derm when igoon friday,hopefully she will know what to do.
Anyway, I do agree with you about the link with acne and anxietyand maybe you can consider seeing a derm too.

good luck
