Without a doubt, college can be a
stressful experience in the lives of young people and the most stressful
period for most college students surfaces during exam times. Students
undergo a tremendous amount of stress during exams periods and, if not
kept under control, this stress can give rise to a variety of health
problems.
Among the various ailments
that stress brings on, one of the most commons ones are related to our
skin. When a person is stressed, their body produces cortisol among
other hormones. This in turn causes the body to secrete more oil, hence
one’s skin becomes oilier.
As a
result of this excess oil, the skin becomes the bedrock for different
types of skin conditions. The most obvious of these is acne. Acne is a
skin disorder that mainly affects people between the ages of eleven and
thirty. However, it may be found on some individuals who are over the
age of fifty, as well. Even people who have never suffered from acne are
vulnerable to developing it under stress.
Unfortunately, acne is just one of
many disorders one can become a victim of during exam times. Many people
might not be aware of the fact that stress is also linked to the
outbreak of hives, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and blisters.
Besides these skin conditions, stress can also take a heavy toll on a
person’s personal life as well as professional and academic career.
The good news is that while being
extremely unappealing and even embarrassing at times, these skin
disorders are generally not serious and can be managed with proper care
and treatment. So, if you find yourself under attack by any of these
