I really think stress is worse than cholesteral ever thought about being. Asked by Pale Rider - Wed Jan 17 15:11:36 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. There are hormones that are increased during stress that are measurable, such as cortisol. The hormone is very important for the body to handle acute stress. Medicine has plenty of ways to measure all these and that's not the main problem today.

Please also give names of some medicines with least amount of side-effects. While giving the brand names of medicines available in the market where you live, please also give their generic names; as brand names could differ from country to country. Thanks. I am in India.

Generally speaking successful treatments give little improvement within the first week or two; and then the acne decreases over approximately 3 months, after which the improvement starts to flatten out.
