Recently at the reception I had two people with the same disease - acne skin disease. Independently of each other, boy and girl.
It would seem, where is endocrinology, and where is acne?
But it is the hormones that play the first fiddle in this disease.
And I can say with absolute certainty that acne problem can be solved completely by normalizing the balance of hormones. And this is the doctor's task.
But what is required of the patient is to seriously reconsider their eating habits. And here I may surprise you, perhaps upset you.
According to clinical studies, people with acne were 4 times more likely to drink milk (or ice cream) than people without acne.

For the second
A complex of factors that have developed in the body of one person is required. In women, the days of the cycle are also affected.
But specifically these studies indicate that eIf acne pesters you, then you need to exclude from the diet foods that provoke an exacerbation.
The most interesting thing about this is that these young people can, with their eyes closed and in the middle of the night, name these products:
- chocolate and sweets,
- alcohol,
- fatty,
- fried,
- very spicy,
- vinegar.
What is the nutritional mechanism of acne?
Most "banned" foods are high on the glycemic index.
The higher the blood sugar level, the higher the insulin.
That, in turn, will pull up the level of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1).
And this hormone will cause the level of dihydrotestosterone or DHT to rise. Not without the participation of progesterone, but more on that next time.
A high level of DHT will change the composition of skin lipids, differentiation of keratinocytes (“change” of skin cells is disturbed) and hyperkeratosis develops.
In simple terms, all conditions for skin acne.
Nutrition correction gives significant improvements, but complete recovery, as a rule, can be achieved in combination with treatment.
