Adrenaline Flushing

This kind of vascular dilation is caused by an adrenaline rush or a large supply of adrenaline under pressure with immediate or instant flushing. It is the same as sympathetic nerves, but it is hormone released. Stress is the body's reaction to a perceived threat. Adrenaline and hormones are released, and the nervous system is activated, sharpening our senses, but simultaneously our pulse rises, our muscles tense and our immune system begins to shut down.

Those that can not relieve stress as needed may experience fatigue, upset stomach, and frequent headaches, and a flushing face. Long-term stress can contribute to family breakdown, job fatigue, with resulting long-term health problems such as depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, rosacea and acne.

Adult acne is adrenal related in both "men and women" as a reaction to mental stress or body stress. In women testosterone is produced by the ovaries with the other half of testosterone in women being produced by the adrenal glands. Obviously, estrogen smoothes out the testosterone produced by the ovaries, but when the estrogen level drops several days before the menstrual periods, sometimes resulting acne occurs especially when the adrenal glands over produce due to stress or fatigue. The adrenal glands can be stressed continually in both men and women resulting in too much testosterone with the resulting over stimulation of the sebaceous glands. These glands produce testosterone directly or via peripheral conversion of DHEAS (dihydropiandrosterone sulfate), DHEA (dihydroepiandrosterone), and androstenedione which are the three major adrenal androgens. Similarly, in the male an over abundance of testicular testosterone especially with overly stimulated adrenal glands causes the overly stimulated sebaceous glands. Quite often more stress is placed on the adult after puberty resulting in over active sebaceous glands. While we can not produce more estrogen to level out the testosterone, we can drink much more water which will help relieve stress and assist both acne and rosacea. Getting enough sleep and finding ways to relax will help relieve stress and reduce the adrenaline reaction that follows.
