The Real Reason For Your Adult Pimples & What To Do About Varicose Veins
About this episode
Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney discuss the causes of adult acne and varicose veins, along with health news and listener questions.
Missed your weekly dose of health news? Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney are here to tackle the health headlines. From the (ahem) dark side of DIY skin-bleaching creams to whether putting cloves of garlic up your nose will cure a cold... and can knitting actually help rewire your nervous system? In Are You Well? they dive into two common body quirks: what really causes varicose veins (and the modern treatments that don't involve major surgery), and why adult acne strikes in your 30s, 40s, and 50s. Dr Ginni breaks down the specific hormonal giveaways to look for on your face and the key skincare ingredients to use and avoid. Plus, in Asking for a Friend, Dr Ginni answers your awkward real-life questions including what to do about sudden, unpredictable period cycles and what that embarrassingly loud "washing machine" noise in your stomach actually means.
