High Triglyceride Correlation w/ Acne ? Posted: 10-24-07 04:22am
High triglycerides run in my family. I'm
male, 21, and the test I had a couple
months ago put me at 386. My "good fat" is
low, as is my cholesterol. I have
mild-moderate acne, I get fordyce spots,
and I get, what I believe, are mucoceles
(clearish bump on bottom lip). I am
curious if there are any links relating
high-triglycerides to these other issues.
It seems plausible to me that a higher
blood-fat content would be related to
these things (especially the acne and
fordyce, since they are directly linked to
sebum). I'm interested in hearing a
medical opinion on the matter. Thank you.
