It would be possible to talk about the excessive action of male hormones on the skin, if there was a growing core of hair on the skin of male pattern (upper lip, chest, white line below the navel, chin, etc.), as well as loss of hair on his head, acne etc. In this case it was necessary to seek the source of excess androgen (ovaries, adrenal glands…). You also seem to be no reason to talk about the action of androgen excess, so further steps (the analysis of hormonal indicators of androgenic activity of the adrenals) make no sense (in fact, analysis, and showed normal results).

Changes in facial skin after a deep massage lymph

August 23rd, 2010

Question: I recently started to attend a beauty salon to korektsii contours of the neck and chin. I performed this massage of the face with a deep massage lymph. It was produced by three procedures with an interval of 10 days each. After the third massage in the chin and down his cheeks appeared huge tracts of small red prischey, the skin has become bumpy. Cosmetologist said that the problem is not in use safer sex and avoiding them, but hormonal changes and perhaps it polikestoz ovaries. Ransche I have sometimes appeared smaller prischi three to five days before menstruation, but it was not always so. Please help me understand this situation and advise me what to do and what to do. I am 36 years old, have two children, inclined to corpulence. Thank in advance for your attention

Answer: Apparently, we are talking about acne. Indeed, it may be due to excessive action on the skin of male hormones (androgens), but if you have never been, and it was evident after cosmetic procedures – a connection with these procedures is possible (or perhaps a kind of "readiness" of the skin to develop acne, and a small effect on it (massage) may contribute to the manifestation of this problem). I would suggest that cosmetic procedures to stop a couple of months (in a quiet background) – to visit a gynecologist, endocrinologist and a survey. Not always a small deviation in the ovaries (eg, a slight excess of male hormones) require active treatment, but treatment can be initiated if there is a pronounced skin problems, irregular menstrual cycles, problems with pregnancy, etc.
