The recession on your face

Stress is a leading cause of breakouts, and there’s no shortage of that these days...Manhattan dermatologist Dr. Cheryl Karcher is performing far fewer liposuctions or botox injections but is seeing more patients than ever. “They’re all insurance patients for eczema, acne and warts — they’re all another hit from the immune system,” she says.

Karcher explains that the nervous system and hormone systems work together. “They are tightly intertwined and the nervous system is stimulated by stress. ... I am seeing more acne than you can believe.”
