Can a brain tumor cause increase in acne?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Do not worry: Isolated brain tumors do not cause acne, and seriously doubt you would possess a chronic neurocutaneous syndrome which has been undiagnosed. Please note for future reference, you need to be over age 18 to use this website.

A brain tumor?: Do you have a brain tumor? or are you just worried about what may be causing an increase in your acne? Brain tumors are very rare in your age group. Acne is quite common, of course. If that is your only symptom, & you have not been told you have a brain tumor, then the chances are very, very, very small. If you do have a brain tumor and you are under treatment then some treatments may worsen zits.

NO: Acne is a hormonal and emotional dependent issue. And local Bacterial infection to the Apocrine gland. Unless it is with Pituitary gland tumor affecting certain hormones Acne is NOT affected by Brain tumor.
