Mother Nature works very hard to correct such imbalances. If Mother Nature sees you are too low in estrogen she will begin to divert assets to try to increase estrogen production . DHEA is the pre-cursor for all of our hormones. Think of it as the most basic building unit, like bricks. Since we can only make a limited amount of DHEA - bricks with which we construct our brick hormone houses , then any diversion of DHEA bricks from the factory must result in a lower supply of some other hormones.
Skin conditions are but one of the many problems caused by hormone allergy and imbalance.
You can easily distinguish this from other causes because of the location. There are many variations of this and few women will have all of these signs, but most will have some of them. Historically this is found in young women who start menstruating before the age of 15 or 16. The younger they are when they begin the more pronounced the problem. It invariably gets worse each month when the estrogen drops, about a week before the period begins.
