Acne occurs when the pores on your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria. Each pore on your skin is the opening to a follicle. The follicle is made up of a hair and a sebaceous (oil) gland. The oil gland releases sebum (oil), which travels up the hair, out of the pore, and onto your skin. The sebum keeps your skin lubricated and soft. Acne can be caused by one or more problems in this lubrication process.

A low level of FSH may indicate an imbalance in the pituitary or hypothalamus. A high FSH level may indicate an imbalance with the testes or ovaries ability to function properly. In women, the FSH test (it is a blood test) is taken on the 3rd day of the menstrual period. Doctors believe levels higher than 10-15mIU/L may indicate diminished fertility, poor egg health or low ovarian reserve.
