4. Common Symptoms

Cushing syndrome will typically cause the patient to have thin, fragile skin that bruises easily. Insect bites, infections, and cuts will also heal more slowly than they otherwise would. Cushing syndrome will also likely cause the patient to develop acne, or have acne worse than they usually have. Another symptom is striae, which are pink or purple marks that look like stretch marks.

Weight gain is another symptom, and the patient will also develop deposits of fatty tissue on their body. In women, menstruation can become irregular and body and facial hair can become thicker and more visible. Men can experience decreased fertility, a decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction.
