A member asked:
Could stress be causing my acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress is good: Basically. Only "dis-tress" -- when you're in a situation in which you're helpless -- is suspected of being linked to disease, and even this is cheap and largely subscientific. Get your acne treated -- if topical benzoyl peroxide has failed, your physician can give you rx-strength meds. If you're in an abusive situation, get out by whatever means. Best wishes.
