A member asked:
Is it possible that my increased level of stress is causing more acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Stress causes the release of stress hormones including cortisol which could have an impact on your skin. In general, excess stress makes any and all medical conditions worse. Try to minimize the stressors in your internal and external environment.
