[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Keeping skin healthy is an important part of treating and preventing acne. Those with hypothyroidism have greater difficulty maintaining healthy skin than those without a thyroid disorder. Poor thyroid function can slow cellular activity and inhibit the transport of oxygen. Less blood and oxygen being delivered to skin cells means that the skin is not able to regenerate as well as it should. Furthermore, dead and dying skin cells that are not removed through healthy skin generation can increase the risk of breakouts by blocking pores and promoting inflammation.<\/p>\n

If your thyroid is underactive, all the organs that help make your skin healthy, vibrant, and moisturized are going to be underactive too.\u00a0 This prevents skin shells from shedding and rebuilding properly. Hypothyroidism is a common cause of dry, flakey skin.<\/p>\n

Which means that in order to properly treat acne if it is due to hypothyroidism is to boost thyroid function either naturally or with the addition of thyroid hormone. Though it’s worth pointing out that hypothyroidism can make hormonal acne worse as well if not treated appropriately. Treatment options include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism<\/li>\n
  2. Balancing progesterone and estrogen levels<\/li>\n
  3. Balance of androgen hormones (testosterone), especially in women<\/li>\n
  4. Take dietary supplements to help nourish the skin such as zinc, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin A.<\/li>\n
  5. Eliminate digestive disorders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
