Acne in Menopause: More Widespread Than Commonly Known
Menopause is filled with changes of all kind, some of them emotional but most of them physical. Not all women living through menopause experience mood swings, night sweats and hot flushes, which are the most common physical symptoms of menopause. It tends to surprise women, however, when they discover that acne, a less talked about complaint of menopause, becomes a part of their lives, even if they never experienced acne in their youth.
Fluctuating Hormones
One of the culprits to be blamed for acne, regardless of what stage of life it is experienced, is fluctuating hormones. Teenagers experience hormone fluctuation that leads to acne, one of which is the male hormone androgen. Androgen is responsible for muscular development, stimulating hair follicles and creating skin oil or sebum. Excessive sebum, typically produced by too much androgen, is a condition which is more problematic for boys than it is for girls. Once boys reach puberty, they produce ten times the amount of androgen that girls do. This explains why boys tend to have more extreme outbreaks of acne.
In menopause, women still produce androgen, but their estrogen and progesterone levels are lower. The imbalance of estrogen and progesterone hormones whose overall levels drop significantly in menopause, allow the androgen (which remains in fairly constant supply) to rear its ugly head. The result: unwanted menopausal acne.
