Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research Hair cortisol concentrations in mental disorders: A systematic review
People with depression often have higher hair cortisol levels, while those with PTSD tend to have lower levels, but more research is needed to understand this fully.
research Radiolabel validation of cortisol in the hair of rhesus monkeys
Hair cortisol can indicate long-term stress levels, but hair growth rate differences may affect accuracy.

Blocking CRF-R1 can reduce alcohol intake in stressed mice.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research Hair loss and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis activity in captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).
Higher stress levels may be linked to hair loss in rhesus macaques.
research HPA axis stress reactivity and hair cortisol concentrations in recently detoxified alcoholics and healthy controls with and without childhood maltreatment
Alcohol dependence affects stress hormone levels more than childhood maltreatment.

Forearm hair has more cortisol than lower leg hair.
research Frontiers in the (Neuro-)endocrine Controls of Hair Growth
Hair growth and health are influenced by stress and hormones.
research Hair glucocorticoid levels in Parkinson’s disease
People with Parkinson's disease have higher levels of cortisone in their hair, which may indicate chronic stress hormone dysfunction.
research The local hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis in cultured human dermal papilla cells
Stress hormone CRF can cause hair loss by affecting hair growth cells and hormones.
research Lectinhistochemistry of Dorsal Skin of Wistar-derived Hypotrichotic WBN/Ila-Ht Rats.

research Assessing the role of stressful life events in the induction and recurrence of alopecia areata: A case-control study
Stress can trigger or worsen alopecia areata.
research Qiviut cortisol reflects hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity in muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus)
Muskoxen's qiviut cortisol levels indicate their stress hormone activity over the hair growth period.
research An implication for post-transcriptional control: Reciprocal changes of melanocortin receptor type 2 mRNA and protein expression in alopecia areata
Alopecia areata may involve stress-related changes affecting hormone receptors, leading to reduced cortisol production.
research Involvement of the central hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in hair growth and melanogenesis among different mouse strains
Stress can slow hair growth and affect skin color by impacting the body's stress response system.
research Alopecia areata – hyperactivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research The connection of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors to the development of depression
5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, may cause depression, but more research is needed to understand why.
research Involvement of neurosteroids in the control of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in pregnant sheep under basal and stressful conditions
Neurosteroids play a key role in controlling the brain-adrenal gland activity in pregnant sheep, both in normal and stressful situations.
