Another example is:
Such pictures can be seen everywhere on Du Niang.
Moreover, there are different versions.
Especially after further publicity in beauty salons, health clubs and other places,
The quality of internal organs is presented on one face.
So is this true or false?
First of all, let's look at the pathogenesis of acne.
In fact, no matter reading books of western medicine or Chinese medicine, there is no disease named "acne".
Western medicine calls this disease "acne", while Chinese medicine calls it "acne" and "acne".
From the point of view of modern medicine, the etiology of acne is related to the increase of androgen, which leads to the proliferation and secretion of sebaceous glands, abnormal keratinization of sebaceous glands in hair follicles, proliferation of hair follicle microorganisms such as propionibacterium acne, skin inflammation and immune response. Genetic factors play an important role in the occurrence of acne.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the causes of acne are also complicated, and it is not the "internal fire is too strong" that we conventionally understand, so there is acne on the face.
Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly divided into excess syndrome and deficiency syndrome.
In the empirical case, it is considered that excessive yang heat in the body, accumulated heat in the lung meridian, common cold's resurgence, fumigation of the face; Overeating is spicy, sweet and thick, which helps to moisten damp heat and steam your face.
In the case of deficiency syndrome, spleen deficiency, abnormal transport and transformation, dampness stagnation, prolonged heat stagnation, body fluid burning, decoction entering phlegm, and damp-heat phlegm and blood stasis in the skin are considered.
Therefore, people with acne should not blindly take "heat-clearing and detoxification" drugs to treat acne.
If you take such drugs because of acne induced by deficiency syndrome such as spleen deficiency, it will only aggravate the rash.
Then why does everyone have acne in different places? Some people like long foreheads, while others like long cheeks?
Generally speaking, places with many sebaceous glands are more prone to acne, so the head, face, chest and back are called "sebum secretion areas".
The secretion of these glands is regulated by hormones, and the original "neutral skin" is gradually drifting away from us because of the changes in adolescent sex hormone levels.
Different parts have different sensitivity to androgen receptor.
Just like androgenetic alopecia (male alopecia), the hair on the forehead and the top of the head tends to be sparse and cool, while the hair behind the pillow is still firm, and finally it becomes the Mediterranean, which is very artistic.
In fact, this "brilliance" is also determined by the sensitivity of hormone receptors in different parts.
The mystery of the human body is endless, and different people or different stages of the same person cannot remain the same.
Early acne is more common in the upper face such as forehead, cheekbones and cheeks, while late-onset acne (especially in female adults after 25 years old) is more likely to occur in the lower part, especially around the mouth.
Skin health depends on the complete skin barrier function, including physical barrier (stratum corneum and sebum membrane), immune barrier, pigment barrier, chemical barrier and microbial barrier.
Everyone has hundreds of millions of microorganisms on their skin.
Some are helpful to the human body, which we call beneficial bacteria or probiotics, and often some resident bacteria are peaceful; Some are called harmful bacteria, which can cause diseases, usually temporary bacteria that invade temporarily;
There are also some so-called conditional pathogens, which are usually peaceful and may take advantage of local environmental changes.
This is the case with Bacillus acnes, which thrives in local suitable environment (anaerobic environment caused by exuberant sebum secretion, pore blockage, pH change and impaired barrier function), thus further aggravating inflammation.
Therefore, moderate cleaning is very important, which can reduce some dirty and bad things on the skin surface.
But don't over-clean, and don't be superstitious about the so-called "deep cleaning". Destroying the complete barrier function of skin will bring a series of problems. Try to choose some mild cleansing products close to normal skin PH, such as some good quality amino acid facial cleanser. For details, please refer to the "trivial matter" of washing your face and the "washing" of skin care in autumn and winter-moderate cleaning.
Sleeping often stuffy can also cause local environmental changes. Don't always touch (rub) a certain part of your face, and don't squeeze acne with claws full of bacteria, which will lay a curse for future acne pits.
Recently, the COVID-19 epidemic raged. Many medical workers are prone to "stuffy pox" because of wearing N95 masks, masks and protective glasses for a long time, and the local closed environment and pressure, especially around the mouth.
Daily skin care habits, diet, sleep and even emotions will affect the skin condition.
So the cause of acne is very complicated. Each of you is so unique, and the internal and external environment is ever-changing. It's really hard to think about eternity.
Judging from the meridian trend of traditional Chinese medicine, there are acupuncture points on the face, and the meridians where each acupuncture point is located are different.
However, the circulation of the internal organs and meridians of traditional Chinese medicine is not the same as the heart, liver and other organs we generally understand. They are not really visible things, but a system.
In addition, everyone's symptoms and tongue pulse should be considered comprehensively.
Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and profound, and there are still many unsolved mysteries in the human body. I hope not to mislead everyone under the guise of "Chinese medicine".
Skin is a mirror of human body!
Refers to local and systemic factors that can affect skin health, such as lifestyle, mentality, skin care habits, hormone levels, heredity, etc.
Some diseases can indeed provide clues through the skin, such as butterfly erythema of SLE, itching of diabetes, xanthoma of hyperlipidemia and so on. But it doesn't mean that every skin disease is caused by visceral diseases.
Acne is acne,
Most people will happen at some stage,
The degree is light or heavy,
The duration is longer or shorter.
Don't be too serious, which will affect your face.
Don't let it bear unbearable weight, such as being mysteriously associated with an organ disease.
This is the "acne" of ordinary people. Whether you like it or not, it's there!
Don't confuse the concepts of western medicine and Chinese medicine, and add folk speculation and embellishment to make people flustered or angry.
Therefore, acne in specific parts has nothing to do with specific organs.
Let's take care of skin scientifically and fight acne well.
