Until today, medical scientists have not reached a consensus, but common sense is that the end of adolescence does not mean that acne will end; There are many factors that cause acne. Among them, the complex factors are summarized as follows:
1, genetic factors and hormone secretion lead to enlarged sebaceous glands, and then excessive oil secretion leads to acne.
2. Environmental factors also play a role;
3, sometimes some cosmetics or skin dilators will block pores and cause acne;
4. Mental stress, work and study pressure may also be a factor, especially when women break out of acne for the first time in adolescence.
Acne has many shapes and sizes. A papule is a mild manifestation that looks like a red lump. And pustules are very serious. The hair follicle is deeply inflamed, with blood and pus inside, which looks terrible. If your nose, chin and cheeks have serious facial sores and swollen blood vessels, and it is easy to get red and swollen, it is probably "rose acne", which is much more serious than acne.
In either case, as long as you are not sure about handling it, or it has no effect at all after handling it, you must find a doctor! It is also important for your daily care. Professionals believe that acne patients should follow the following aspects:
First, skin care and makeup
L, treat the skin gently: don't dig, squeeze or rub the skin hard. Brushing hard will only make your acne worse. Contrary to what most people think, washing your face hard will not reduce the secretion of oil, but scrubbing hard will only secrete more oil.
2. Use skin care products that can control oil and clean oil: In the past, most oily skin care products only washed off excess oil on the face, but now oily skin care products have the function of controlling oil and cleaning oil. They use biochemical or plant ingredients to penetrate into the skin, control the secretion function of sebaceous glands, "absorb oil" on the skin surface, transform oil, and shrink pores at the same time, thus reducing the amount of oil secretion. You can choose this product with good reputation.
3. Don't use scrub and shrink water: scrub and shrink water will excessively stimulate the epidermis, worsen the inflamed skin condition, and aggravate the secretion of sebaceous glands, making the situation worse. In addition, shrinking water can shrink pores and make the originally blocked pores smaller.
4. Pay attention to whether the cosmetics you choose are oily and water-based formulas: friends with acne sometimes apply some foundation moderately, which can cover and beautify, but when choosing lipstick and foundation, you should pay attention to avoid using oil-soluble products to avoid acne deterioration. At present, gouache cream, which is very suitable for oily skin, has a refreshing texture, contains no ingredients that increase the burden of skin oil, and will not make acne more obvious because of dry powder.
5, pay attention to personal hygiene: personal hygiene habits determine the time for acne to stay on the face. If you have acne on your chin and mouth, please don't wear clothes with collars. The collar is a place to hide evil and shelter evil people, which is easy to rub the mandible and make the condition worse. In addition, the hair should always be left behind, and bangs should not be left, so as to avoid the dust and oil stains on the hair from infecting acne.
In addition, most people don't know that pillowcases and sheets are the places where dead cells, mites, dust, dandruff and other dirty things are most likely to accumulate, and long-term sleep is more likely to breed bacteria on facial skin. Therefore, it is best to keep the good habit of washing pillow towels every day, especially for people with severe acne.
Once the fixing components in hair gel and styling agent are sprayed on the skin, it is easy to block pores and it is more difficult to clean grease and dirt, so keep your face away from it. In addition, washing your hair every day and keeping your hair clean can also improve the acne situation and prevent infection.
6, pay attention to sun protection measures: once the ultraviolet rays in the sun pass through the acne wound and directly penetrate the epidermis, it will form black spots on the wound, even after the acne disappears, it will still leave the same burn marks as black spots. If you are worried that the sunscreen is too oily, you can use a facial tissue to absorb the excess oil after applying the sunscreen. This will not affect the function of sunscreen, but also prevent the burden of oil.
Second, medical care.
L, find out the cause of acne, the right medicine. You'd better find a doctor to help you find out the cause of acne. Only by thoroughly improving the causes of recurrence can we effectively control the spread of acne.
2. Wait patiently when acne is inflamed. You should control yourself not to pick acne, because picking acne will lead to serious infection, sepsis, endocarditis and kidney damage. Not long ago, a college student suffered from acute bacterial endocarditis because of picking "acne" and almost died. To put it mildly, picking "acne" will aggravate local inflammation and leave permanent scars after healing.
At this time, you can buy a tube of gel with anti-inflammatory and acne-removing functions, and put a cotton swab on the gel when acne has not developed or has developed, which can help acne dry and accelerate life. At this time, it should be noted that gel can only be applied to acne, not to the whole face, so as not to stimulate uninfected skin too much, but to cause redness and swelling.
3, the treatment of acne can not be the same. Because the individual's specific situation is different, the severity of acne is not the same, so don't expect a treatment to apply to all people and all types of acne.
Some people may be able to control and treat acne in some way this time, but not next time. So now doctors advocate individualized treatment. For mild acne symptoms, acne gel can be used for treatment. In the treatment of blackhead acne and whitehead acne, tretinoin can be taken orally or externally to obtain good results.
The effect of applying antibiotics directly on the skin is not better than oral antibiotics, and it takes about 4-6 weeks for local application to have an effect. For severe acne, oral antibiotics are still the main treatment. In order to reduce the side effects of oral antibiotics, doctors will reduce the dosage of drugs and apply some retinoic acid or antibiotics to the skin.
If the inflammation area is large, the best treatment is to inject a small amount of subcutaneous steroids. This method will quickly improve inflammation. Some doctors prescribe birth control pills to treat severe acne. Birth control pills will be effective at first, but they will gradually become ineffective. This medicine is not suitable for long-term use.
Third, pay attention to diet.
L, eat more vegetables and fruits with more vitamins to ensure adequate sleep and normal eating habits.
2. Don't smoke. Nicotine in cigarettes will contract the microvascular wall, accumulate toxins in blood and lymph, and reduce the oxygen absorption rate of skin cells, thus weakening the healing ability of skin and easily forming cross-infection of acne.
3. Eat less spicy, fried and high-calorie food. Although these foods will not directly lead to the formation of acne, they will "worsen" the situation of acne. Because these foods will increase the load capacity of the heart, and reduce the quality of vitamin K in the blood, and indirectly induce the formation of acne.
Fourth, adjust the psychology.
Do not pay attention to acne. It's just skin problems. In fact, endocrine disorders have always been an important culprit in inducing acne. If acne really occurs in the jaw and temple, it is necessary to regulate endocrine.
According to the survey, the great pressure of life, such as moving to a new home, changing jobs, getting married, having children, taking exams, going abroad, etc. , is an important cause of physiological imbalance, we should learn to adjust ourselves.
Five, the treatment of primary disease
L, digestive system problems, such as constipation, chronic diarrhea, hyperacidity, ulcers, etc. , will lead to the accumulation of toxins in the body, waste can not be discharged normally. At this time, acne will also appear around the mouth and in the reflex parts of the digestive system, so try to treat the primary disease.
2, seasonal changes, when the humidity suddenly rises, the conduction code secreted by sebaceous glands can not be adjusted temporarily, which will also cause acne. If handled properly, it will disappear in a few days.
3. Some drugs, such as oral contraceptives, diet pills and menstrual conditioning drugs, can stimulate endocrine disorders or cause toxin accumulation to form so-called "toxic acne".

1. Why do we get acne?
There are both androgens and estrogens in the human body, but androgens are the main ones and estrogens are the main ones. Under normal circumstances, the ratio of the two hormones is balanced. Puberty girls grow acne because hormone secretion in the body is unstable, estrogen is normal and androgen is high; Adult women often do not increase androgen, but decrease estrogen, which also causes the imbalance between the two hormones, leading to excessive sebum secretion and blocked hair follicles, thus forming acne. There are also several important factors that can lead to hormone imbalance and acne growth-
The deteriorating natural and social environment. Man and nature are a whole. In recent decades, the deteriorating natural environment and fast-paced social life will lead to endocrine disorders. Research by British experts shows that the age of sexual maturity of modern girls is generally one year earlier than that of a hundred years ago, which is caused by air pollution and light pollution. For the simplest example, in the natural state, the old hen hatches her eggs entirely by her own temperature, while the farm shortens the incubation process with a large light bulb of N kW, which shows how much the changes of temperature and light affect the hormones. This is an external condition that we can't change, but we can try our best to eliminate the influence of this condition with a regular and healthy life, so as to coordinate our endocrine.
Changes in diet structure. Diet has a great relationship with the growth of acne. Modern people's diet is mainly "fat and sweet", which greatly increases the chance of acne.
Genetic factors. If your parents have ever had acne, you must never run, because our physique is largely determined by heredity. If they have never had acne and you have, you should pay attention to improving your diet and lifestyle.
Mental state. I once saw a MM say, "My mood has a lot to do with the growth of acne. If I get angry with people on the first day, acne will definitely break out the next morning. That's accurate! " Yes, mental stress, depression, anger, etc. Will lead to "getting angry", and the result will soon be reflected in your face.
Improper weight loss. Many MM weight loss methods are unscientific, some rely on net hunger, and some rely on drugs containing hormones, which will change your physique and lead to acne.
In addition, acclimatization and some gynecological diseases can also lead to acne.
2. How is acne getting more and more serious?
There are two main reasons for the deterioration of acne, one is objective and the other is subjective.
Let's talk about the former.
Everyone's skin has normal flora and generally does not cause disease. However, when acne appears, sebum accumulates on the skin, which provides rich nutrition for the massive reproduction of these bacteria. At this time, they can easily become harmful bacteria, leading to the deterioration of acne. Red acne is also inflammation caused by sebum accumulation. The only way to deal with this situation is to keep it clean. Wash off sebum with warm water and non-irritating soap to prevent siltation.
Let's talk about why we make acne worse.
The first is the infection of external bacteria. In other words, it is the bacterial invasion caused by squeezing, scratching and scratching acne. Never squeeze acne! Unless you want to leave a lifelong "youth mark"! Don't touch your face often, and don't touch it when it itches! You can prepare wet wipes and apply them when your face itches, but don't wipe them! After washing your face, you don't wipe it with a towel, but apply it to your face to absorb moisture.
Then there are superstitious folk remedies and cosmetics. Aloe vera and toothpaste are often considered as remedies for acne. These things do have a certain anti-inflammatory effect, but the effect is very limited. Moreover, some people are allergic to this and have made anti-inflammatory and acne-removing masks in beauty salons. It was great at the time, and it was terrible afterwards! Remember, don't use your face as a test field. Besides, many girls abuse concealer and foundation to cover up acne on their faces-should they brush their faces thicker than the wall all their lives or expose their ugliness temporarily so that they can have a face that is easy to make up in the future? Covering is not always a long-term method, and applying foundation to acne is tantamount to blocking the Yellow River. When you have acne, just wash your face and apply some astringent toner or oil control gel. Remember, cosmetics that can "go a long way" are designed for faces without problems. Do basic skin care first, and then apply it to your face!
3. (Most importantly) What should we do?
In the final analysis, what I want to say is that internal cultivation is much more important than external treatment.
If there are 100 people with acne, there are 100 treatments. Even if you know enough ways to treat acne, you still need a doctor to diagnose it in time. It's best to find a good doctor to see what kind of constitution you belong to, so as to prescribe the right medicine according to your constitution. But you can't see a doctor indiscriminately. The key is to be effective, so everyone still needs to find the right doctor and take the right medicine.
Now the acne is under control, but we should pay attention to daily care. My doctor told me that acne, like a cold, has a high recurrence rate, so he told me to develop good living habits. He also told me that there are several kinds of acne physique-lung heat type, and acne is papular. To put it bluntly, it is a typical symptom of easy dry mouth, upset, yellow tongue coating and excessive internal heat. You can drink more chrysanthemum tea, clear your lungs and detoxify, fight less with people at ordinary times, be calm, eat more vegetarian dishes, and it is best not to eat meat for a month. Drink some loquat cream if necessary.
Damp-heat type, acne is pustule type, running water type, and it has symptoms such as pain, bad breath and constipation. This is also eating too well and being angry is not normal. It is recommended to take Jiedu Yang Yan Capsule, but remember that it is dependent and cannot be eaten frequently. It is best to adjust it through diet. It is ok to drink a bowl of honey water in the morning. Eat more radishes. I really can't have diarrhea with bezoar.
Phlegm and blood stasis type. Acne is hard and cystic, usually afraid of heat, easy to sweat, and the stool is not shaped. There is a risk of gynecological diseases. Take some Chinese angelica medicine. Eat more kelp, kelp mixed with celery, and eat less chicken breast, which is for people with acne of this constitution-people with other constitutions should not try! Some people say that kelp can remove acne, which varies from person to person. If you are already cold, eat some kelp and you don't have to see anyone.
Deficiency syndrome constitution. Acne is easy to relapse, usually dry mouth, easy to backache and burnout. Don't blame me for being straight. This is the result of indulgence. It's true that a harmonious and happy sex life can nourish your face, but it will be reflected in your face if it is too late. Have some astragalus.
Internal heat and external cold type. This is the hardest person to meet. That's what I am. My hands are cold and my feet are cold, like a ghost, but my face is covered with acne. And easy to get tired. Use ginseng and astragalus to treat together, ginseng to treat cold, and astragalus to treat fire. Try not to eat seafood. Seafood is called "Yang in Yin", which is the most taboo for people who get angry and catch cold.
4. Some tips
First of all, it is absolutely impossible for the skin to be slack and flat! ! ! Don't say it's allergic skin, even if it's not allergic skin, you can't even put that on! Think about it-can you put athlete's foot on your face? Also, for girls, the skin usually heals in the second week after the physiological period. Generally speaking, the week before the physiological period, the skin is the worst, and the physiological period is also very poor. After the physiological period, it will be fine. By the second week after the physiological period (that is, the ovulation period, if you want contraception, you have to count this day), your skin will be fine.
If acne is already very serious, it is best not to use sulfur soap, because people are different, and what suits them may not be suitable for you. Sulfur soap mainly plays a cleaning role, which can wash away a lot of sebum and new acne. If there is no sebum environment, it will be easy to kill, but if the acne is already serious, it is easy to hurt the already fragile skin with sulfur.
In addition, the physiological acne in adolescence, as long as you don't have to pick it with dirty hands, will be fine after puberty and will not leave marks; If the physiological period is stimulated by the outside world, such as eating spicy food and getting angry, it will be better after the physiological period; Inflammation caused by indiscriminate use of cosmetics must go to the hospital; Then there is a lack of certain substances in the body, which leads to acne and skin allergies. Try to adjust from the diet. Although the effect is slow, it belongs to long-term aftercare type. If you don't know what you lack, you must eat everything and not be picky about food (of course, taboos don't count).
Wash your face with non-irritating soap. Don't wash it too often. It is enough to wash it twice a day, but it should be washed twice every time. Note that the towel must be clean. It is recommended to prepare two towels. Wipe your face, wash it and dry it. It's best to bask in the sun, then use the other one and use it backwards.
Drink plenty of water to detoxify. Watermelons are easy to find in summer. Try to eat one a day. It is recommended to eat more tomatoes and apples instead of citrus fruits, which is easy to get angry. Make sure to eat a bowl of green vegetables every day;
Drink some green tea or chrysanthemum tea every day, don't drink coffee, strong tea, eat less sugar, don't drink carbonated drinks, and drink water or light tea when you are thirsty; Eat more vegetarian food and less greasy food. Meat can be boiled in white sauce, not braised in brown sauce. It's better to eat chicken than pork, beef and mutton.
Eat more corn. Boil cabbage with white radish, eat it once a week, with little salt and dried seaweed, or drink it with white radish juice. When drinking mineral water, add a slice of lemon and squeeze it into the water; Drink a cup of cold boiled water in the morning, and drink it in the morning (it doesn't matter if you don't brush your teeth, no one knows. )
Also, it is sports. Drink a certain amount of water, exercise more, you will sweat more and detoxify naturally. Running twice or skipping rope every morning can not only detoxify, but also lose weight and keep fit. Exercise has an effect on all beauty. Also, if the skin has itchy symptoms, cook celery and tofu at a ratio of 2: 3, add salt, eat one or two a day and try for a week.
Finally, the doctor also said that it is not the end of the world to keep smiling and in a good mood. Think about how many people in the world don't have time to worry about whether they have acne on their faces! Moreover, the more you are afraid of it, the more stubborn it is. Keep a confident attitude, acne will be scared away by you! Look up at the world and the sun. Sunlight is also a good way to sterilize.
I hope it will help the landlord.

"Control" acne can't be impatient, and a happy mood is also the key to curing acne. Let me tell you something about your "fighting" experience ... I wish you success in "controlling" acne! ! !
■ Acne is mostly caused by two reasons. One is because the skin belongs to oily skin, sebaceous glands are too developed, and sebum secretion is too strong. If the pores are blocked or the oil discharge is not smooth due to other reasons, the sebaceous glands will continue to secrete, and sebum will accumulate and protrude in the pores and become acne.
■ Another reason is the imbalance of hormone secretion in the body, which causes acne on the skin. This reason is more common in adolescence. The imbalance of hormone secretion will indirectly lead to excessive sebum secretion, thus further aggravating the situation of acne.
Simple version:
Suffering from acne, wash your face several times a day with warm water and sulfur-containing soap to reduce greasy skin. The greasy feeling of skin is reduced, and the chance of dirt such as dust falling on the skin is reduced, effectively preventing sebaceous gland blockage and secondary infection of bacteria. In addition, don't squeeze acne by hand, don't use oily cosmetics, don't use ointment casually, don't use topical ointment of steroid hormones such as skin hydrogen pine, skin cream and skin cream, otherwise it will cause steroid acne, and don't use bromine iodine drugs, otherwise it will cause verrucous papules and proliferative acne. Eat less fatty and sugary foods, eat less fried foods and irritating foods such as onions, garlic and peppers, and eat more fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation and indigestion, which will help relieve acne.
