If you have persistent excessive gas, abdominal pain, or bloating and can't get relief, it's a good idea to head to your doctor. If the problem is intestinal gas, he can recommend ways to provide relief. And if it's a more serious problem, you can catch it early and get started on treatment.
Acne is an inflammatory condition of the skin partially caused by increased sebum production and an abnormality of the bacteria found normally on the skin. The result can be red and enlarged areas on the skin, whiteheads or blackheads.
Hair and skin oiliness depends on a number of factors; an oily substance known as sebum is a primary cause. Sebum is produced by sebaceous glands located at the base of each hair shaft in the skin, including the scalp. Male hormones called androgens manage the production of sebum. For people with oily hair and/or skin, sebaceous glands are working overtime and/or are in greater numbers, producing an excess of sebum. Genetics, puberty, heat, and humidity also affect oil production.
