What is acne?

Acne is caused by blockage and inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. During adolescence, hormones in the body stimulate hair growth and promote the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil. As a result, a lot of substances accumulate in the hair and sebaceous glands, causing oil and bacteria to adhere, causing redness and swelling of the skin. Acne grows around the lips, which is caused by internal heat and toxins. For example, staying up late, eating spicy food, or getting a sore throat in hot weather can cause this type of acne.

People who have acne around their lips generally have poor digestive system function, such as stomach problems, stomach pain, etc. There are also people who are picky eaters and do not like to eat fruits and green vegetables. About 20% of this group of people will get acne, and more than 80% of the acne in this 20% group will grow around the lips.

The treatment of acne requires a long period of time. When treating acne, you should choose a method that suits the cause of the disease and treat it symptomatically. In addition, you should pay more attention in your daily life and strengthen the prevention of acne, so as to say goodbye to the recurrence of acne.

Things to pay attention to when you have acne on your lips

1. Diet: Eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less fat, sugar, spicy and other irritating foods, and maintain smooth bowel movements.
