PRACTICAL HOMECRAFT

Hormones To Treat This Skin Ill

By H. N. BUNDESEN, M.D.

ACNE is one of the most widespread and distressing of skin disorders. Recent studies have shown that one of the possible causez of this eruption of the skin may be a surplus of male hormones, which act. to over-stimulate the skin's fat glands.

ร

These little structures, technically known as sebace- ous glands, consist of a hair root, the hair itself and fat-secreting gland. Nor tally, these secretions are forced along the hair and propelled to the surface. If, for any reason, the free- flow of these secretions is blocked, they act as a plug, causing irritation and the consequent overgrowth of certain skin cells. In this way, blackheads are formed and these in turn lead pimples and the other mani- festations of acne.
