Why do I get aunt pox?
Before answering this question, let's first figure out the main reason for acne, that is—
Increased androgens in the body cause the sebaceous glands to secrete a large amount of sebum, blocking the sebaceous ducts of the hair follicles, thereby promoting the formation of acne.
And the long aunt pox, in fact, is closely related to the change of hormone levels and sebaceous glands!

Estrogen and progesterone themselves have anti-androgenic effects, and when the levels of both estrogen and progesterone drop, the androgen advantage is manifested.
Before the "big aunt" came, the level of estrogen and progesterone decreased, and the level of androgen rose relatively, and you had aunt pox
In addition, before coming to the "big aunt", the opening of the sebaceous duct will shrink, resulting in sebum can not be excreted, so that sebum accumulates inside the sebaceous gland, it is easy to appear aunt acne, if the symptoms are more serious, it is recommended to see a doctor in time!
Only came to "Big Aunt" before appeared
Is acne called aunt pox?
I know there are little sisters who have to ask:
“
If I had acne before coming to 'Big Aunt', or when I came to 'Big Aunt', the symptoms worsened, is this not considered aunt pox murmuring?
”
Yes, this condition also belongs to aunt pox!
Aunt pox is actually a relatively common phenomenon, even if you are the lucky one, don't worry too much, let's treat it correctly
Grow aunt pox,
What should I do?
● Control diet
In general, a diet with a high glycemic load, as well as an excess of dairy products, can easily activate androgens in our bodies, which can lead to worsening or occurrence of acne.

Therefore, you must pay attention to controlling your diet, such as minimizing a high-GI diet ("high-GI food" is the impact of a food on blood sugar, the higher the GI, the more it can raise blood sugar in a short period of time).
● Pay attention to skin cleansing
I believe that everyone has such a feeling, when acne grows fiercely, sebum secretion is also more.
Therefore, usually pay attention to cleaning to avoid further blockage of pores.
● Adjust mood and sleep
Many little sisters are prone to anxiety and stress before coming to the "big aunt", or during the "big aunt", which may promote an increase in the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone, resulting in an increase in the secretion of sebum by sebaceous glandular cells.
Therefore, we must pay attention to adjusting our emotions and controlling stressors.
in a word
Depending on the different degrees of aunt pox,
Medications are also different,
Don't fool yourself!
Especially if the symptoms are more severe,
It is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time,
Leave it to the doctor to deal with~
