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.
The amount of sebum that your body produces can also be affected by certain diseases. For example, disorders related to the pituitary and adrenal glands, the ovaries, and the testicles can either increase or decrease sebum production. Starvation reduces production, and Parkinson's disease increases it.
