Acne on the face
What is the reason?
Really reflects
Are there health problems in different parts of the body?
Let's find out together
The "acne" on the face is ever-changing
Is it related to the health of the body's internal organs?
In the hot summer, the sebaceous glands secrete vigorously, clogging pores and easily leading to inflammation. In addition, most people have irregular schedules, resulting in endocrine disorders, so many people have repeated acne on their faces.
Whiteheads, blackheads, closed mouths, papules, big red acne... Although there are many names for acne that occur on the face, clinically, they are collectively called "acne", which is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the sebaceous glands of hair follicles, and different acne is just different manifestations of acne.
Among them, acne is an early manifestation of acne, which can be divided into closed acne and open acne. Closed acne is often called "closed mouth", which refers to whiteheads, which will have tofu residue-like substances coming out when squeezed by hand; Open acne, commonly known as "blackheads", refers to blackheads, which contain lipid plugs, mainly caused by sebum oxidation. Both blackheads and whiteheads are caused by blockages in the sebaceous gland openings of the hair follicles, resulting in poor discharge of sebum.
Acne further develops, infection with Propionibacterium acnes, produces an inflammatory response, will escalate the appearance of papules, pustules and even cysts, at this time often have to go to the dermatology for treatment, otherwise it is easy to produce permanent scarring.
Acne is more likely to occur in the oil spillage area, mainly on the face (especially in the T-zone), scalp, including the front chest and back and other areas, oil overflow, hair follicle mouth blockage, oil secretion can not be produced, combined with infection, it is easy to produce acne.
As for the netizens' suggestion that "acne grows in different positions, suggesting that there are problems in different parts of the body", some dermatologists said that this statement is incorrect, and there is currently no medical evidence that there is a clear relationship between the part of the acne on the face and the health status of specific internal organs of the body, that is, acne is only considered a skin problem.
Of course, the causes of acne on the face are actually very complex, and may be related to many factors such as emotional anxiety, poor sleep, improper diet, and the humid and hot environment in summer. Because of this, acne has also become a high incidence and common skin disease, acne recurrent, scarring, sensitive trouble, seriously affecting the appearance and psychology of patients.
"Pimples" is not exclusive to "puberty"
Adults can also be trapped by "pox"
As we all know, "pimples" is a common name for acne. That is to say, this skin disease tends to occur in adolescence, and it occurs before the age of 12, which is called early adolescent acne; Onset at the age of 13~24, adolescent acne; Onset over 25 years of age and post-pubertal acne. However, in recent years, in addition to adolescent children, the incidence of adults is also increasing, especially in women aged 30~40, which is related to living habits, mental pressure and other factors.
Many adults will think that after impetuous adolescence, the acne on the face can stop, but in fact, many people are getting older, and their hearts are full of vicissitudes, but the acne on the face is young and vigorous. So much so that it has become "middle-aged pox", why is acne so "ghostly"?
Let's take a look at the three causes of acne: one is strong sebum secretion, the other is the blockage of the sebaceous ducts of the hair follicles, and the third is bacterial infection and inflammatory response.
Dermatologists introduce that when the sebaceous glands work normally, the aging keratin and oil will be discharged from the sebaceous ducts (channels) to the mouth of the skin hair follicle, called seborrhea, under normal circumstances, this operation can play a role in moisturizing and protecting the skin.
However, the sebaceous glands are more susceptible to age, season, constitution, endocrine and spicy stimulating foods, resulting in strong sebum secretion. Excessive sebum secretion and too late to discharge oil will lead to abnormal keratosis of the sebaceous ducts of the hair follicles, resulting in blockage of skin channels. The passage is blocked, but the oil continues to produce, so the outlet (hair follicle opening) will be overwhelmed and puff up small packets, forming acne. If the passage is blocked for a long time, the environment inside will also become "dirty and messy", which attracts a lot of small bacteria to set up camp here.
Among them is especially a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes. It is originally a normal flora on the surface of human skin, but it is oil-loving, and the more oil the sebaceous glands secrete, the more vigorous the reproduction. The metabolites of Propionibacterium acnes chemotaxis inflammatory cells and mediators, eventually inducing and aggravating the inflammatory response, causing acne to grow and progress to pustules, nodules, and cysts.
Therefore, although many people have passed puberty, if the skin sebum secretion is still strong, or there is a accumulation of foreign bodies in the hair follicles, propionic acid bacteria breeding, etc., acne will still appear.
Experts introduced that the current clinical research divides acne produced after puberty into delayed acne and persistent acne, the former refers to the first acne after the age of 25, and the latter refers to the onset of acne patients in adolescence, and the condition is extended to the age of 25. According to statistics, the incidence of acne after puberty is about 12%-30%. Moreover, the risk factors for the onset of acne after puberty are complex, and are closely related to parental genetics, human resistance, endocrine disorders, eating habits, environment and stress. In addition, acne is a chronic disease that is prone to repeated attacks. Therefore, adult friends must not think that you can eat, drink and have fun at will, stay up all night, do not pay attention for a long time, and the acne on your face will find you.
Get rid of "acne"
Avoid five myths
Myth 1: Acne is normal, don't care
Some people think that acne on the face is normal. This perception is wrong. Although acne is common, it is a disease that requires treatment. According to statistics, more than 90% of people have "pimples", but now the proportion of moderate to severe acne accounts for more than 20%.
Myth 2: Skin care products can also get rid of acne
In the outpatient clinic, I often encounter some patients whose acne is very serious, and careful inquiry shows that patients have been trying to eliminate acne with skin care products. Skin care products can control oil secretion, moisturize, improve follicle keratosis, mostly for mild acne. If acne has progressed to relatively severe inflammatory papules and pustules, it is difficult to rely on skin care products alone. Moreover, the misuse of skin care products when acne is severe will also provide a good living environment for germs, causing them to multiply in large numbers, thereby aggravating the condition.
Myth 3: All acne cannot be squeezed
Some types of pimples can be squeezed, provided the method is correct. The reason why doctors do not recommend that everyone squeeze acne casually is because if the disinfection is not strict and the operation is improper, once it causes infection, it will aggravate the condition. Especially for acne that grows in the facial triangle, it is not recommended to squeeze no matter what type of acne. It is recommended that you go to a professional medical institution and ask a doctor or nurse to evaluate before performing professional acne removal operations.
Myth 4: Acne has not been removed, go to the acne mark first
Some patients come to the clinic and ask for acne marks as soon as they open their mouths, but they still have a lot of new acne on their faces. You know, if acne is in the active phase, there is no need to treat acne scars. The first thing we should do is to control acne, and then treat acne scars and acne pits. There are now many physical and chemical methods to treat acne scars, acne pits, such as red and blue light, laser and chemical peel treatment, etc., and the premise of these treatments is to let the acne stop first.
Myth 5: Early intervention is useless
The occurrence of acne is mainly related to factors such as excessive sebum secretion, blockage of sebaceous ducts of hair follicles, bacterial infection and inflammatory response. If we intervene early to prevent excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, prevent the clogging of hair follicle pores, and let bacteria have no opportunity, there will be no acne.
"Acne" recurs
Is it related to lifestyle habits?
Dermatologists introduced that acne is a chronic disease, the treatment of acne, first of all, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, lighten acne scars, and then repair the skin. This is a continuous process, can not be rushed, so in the removal of "acne", in addition to the treatment of skin problems, the conditioning of life and physical fitness also need to pay attention.
For example, excessive use of powder skin care products, applying masks every day, staying up too late and other factors are very related to repeated acne attacks. In addition, it is necessary to maintain a comfortable mood, pay attention to emotional regulation, and reduce attention to acne itself and unnecessary mental stress.
The diet should be mainly light, drink more water, eat less spicy, fried, too sweet food, limit the intake of high sugar, greasy diet and dairy products, eat more fresh, green, vitamin-rich food, to develop the habit of regular stool, combine work and rest, and do not stay up late.
In addition, some traditional Chinese medicine experts introduced that for patients with spleen deficiency and dampness, loose stools, and particularly oily skin in summer, they can eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and moisture, such as yam, barley, chia, lotus seeds, and lentils. You can also supplement more foods with B vitamins, such as brown rice grains, which can help reduce acne attacks.
In general, the "acne control" tips can be summarized into the following:
1. Don't stay up late often, develop good living habits, and have regular work and rest.
2. Eat light, eat less spicy and greasy food and sweets; Try not to drink milk when you have acne, especially low-fat milk or skim milk.
3. Pay attention to sun protection, sun exposure will aggravate acne.
4. It is best not to squeeze acne, so as not to cause inflammation to spread, which will aggravate the damage caused by acne.
