Two main causes of dermatological problems
The Gut/Skin Axis: The gut is a key regulator for our immune system by communicating with other organ systems to maintain homeostasis. When the microbiome of the gut is in dis-ease, the altered immune response will promote the development of skin issues like acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It is important to keep in mind that our skin is also an organ
Hormonal imbalances:When there is a sudden increase or decrease in the levels of a hormone, it can trigger a skin problem. Common examples of would be during puberty, a surge in estrogen and testosterone can rapidly increase production of oil in the sebaceous glands in the skin. Conversely, during menopause there is a decrease in estrogen that can lead to lower production of oil, collagen, and elastin in the skin. Diseases, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and hypo/hyperthyroidism, impact the proper function of the skin barrier.
