SSE – Increased Severity of Acne Is Closely Related to Increased Stress

Atlanta, Georgia, 12/15/2007 – Department of Research Writing at SSE reports a research conducted by Wake Forest University of Medicine and Colleagues, on stress and its link to severity. According to the research,

“Acne significantly affects physical and psychosocial well-being, so it is important to understand the interplay between the factors that exacerbate acne," said Gil Yosipovitch, M.D., lead author and a professor of dermatology. "Our study suggests a significant association between stress and severity of acne.”

“Our research suggests that acne severity associated with stress may result from factors others than sebum quantity," said Yosipovitch. "It's possible that inflammation may be involved”

Conclusively, though severity of acne may depend upon other factors, like other than increased quantity of sebum, stress and severity of acne are certainly related to each other.
