Acne and Progesterone - Does Progesterone Cause Acne ?
Does progesterone cause acne ? and does natural progesterone cream help control acne breakouts ? Well, if these are the sort of questions you have been asking yourself, then this maybe one page you might want to read !
One of the benefits of today's advanced medical sciences is that the cause of acne seems to have been much better understood ... more or less. While that means that doctors may know a lot more about acne than they did a couple of decades ago, it implies that the exact cause of acne may not be known yet.
While it has been observed that hormone therapy may be an extremely good way to cure acne, what is currently believed is that progesterone itself does not cause acne but it has a partly androgenic effect ... and it is the androgen hormone that may cause acne.
Does using progesterone cream reduce acne ?
Well, different individuals seem to respond differently to using progesterone cream. While some people may notice a reduce in acne break-outs, others may actually experience an increase in acne. Strange as it may seem, it just goes to show the great diversity in the way human beings react to the same substance ...
But is progesterone the only cause ?
Since so many people experience hormonal surges at one time or the other, why do not everyone experience acne ? That may be because some people have weaker eliminative organs - the liver, kidneys and the intestines. The skin is also an eliminative organ ...
And when the liver is not performing at its peak, and if the kidneys and intestines are not either, then a lot of the elimination will have to take place through the skin ...
And when that happens, acne, rashes, and other skin conditions appear.
At least, that is what many naturopaths seem to be coming around to believe now.
So, if you have acne, then in addition to trying hormone therapy, you might want to try a liver cleanse too every once in a while ... and possibly a colon and a kidney cleanse too.
