Seborrhea in PCOS
- Seborrhea and PCOS are two separate diseases, but they can occur simultaneously in some people.
- Seborrhea is a skin disease that manifests itself in excessive production of sebum and flaky skin, while PCOS is a hormonal disorder that causes the ovaries to malfunction.
- People with PCOS have an increased risk of seborrhea due to increased activity of the sebaceous glands.
- Both seborrhea and PCOS can cause unpleasant symptoms such as acne, excess hair growth, weight gain or fertility problems.
- In the treatment of seborrhea, soothing cosmetics are often used, while in the case of PCOS, a comprehensive approach is necessary, including: lifestyle changes, diet, hormonal medications or surgery.
