Acne
Cushing’s syndrome is basically a hormonal illness that happens when the body produces or takes in more steroid hormone cortisol than necessary. This substance eventually dries out and inflames the skin, which increases the risk of developing acne. Also, cortisol can encourage the production of many other hormones. One of them subsequently causes tiny glands in the skin to produce more oil causing acne. Unlike acne caused by other triggers, acne in people with Cushing’s syndrome tend to have a uniform size. They can be noticed mostly on the arms, back, neck, and chest. [3]
