Early pregnancy and acne and acne scar

Is there anything you can do for yourself that DOESN'T involve putting various concoctions on your face? If you're a woman, check your makeup, and try to avoid products containing lanolins, isopropyl myristate, sodium lauryl sulphate, laureth-4 and red dyes. Rinse your makeup off thoroughly every night and wash with mild soap twice a day.
The skin contains sebaceous glands, which have receptors, like most organs and cells in the body. Just as the muscle cells respond to steroids by growing, the sebaceous glands respond to steroids (particularly the androgen Dihydrotestosterone which the body produces as a byproduct of increased testosterone) with increased secretion. Just as the teenager with high testosterone levels suffers from acne, the 40-year old man with artificially high testosterone levels will suffer from acne for the same reason. The higher the dose, the higher the testosterone level in the body, which results in worse cases of acne.
Even mild cases of acne can leave a person with a negative self-image. Sometimes it can go well beyond the degree of the actual physical appearance. These negative feelings are particularly prevalent when you have a concentration of lesions on your face, which is your greeting card and introduction to the world. Unlike many other skin conditions, acne lesions wind up on areas that often aren't concealed by clothing.
