Causes of acne on the body

What causes acne on the body? Acne is very common in daily life and can be considered a disease. However, it seems that everyone who has acne does not understand what kind of disease it is. So, today I will explain to you about acne and the reasons for the growth of acne. I hope it can help everyone.

From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the main causes of acne are excessive heat in the blood, wind-heat in the lung meridian, damp-heat in the stomach and intestines, liver depression turning into fire, blood stasis and phlegm, etc. Damp-heat in the stomach and intestines refers to improper diet or excessive thinking, which damages the spleen and stomach, causing abnormal metabolism, retention of water and dampness inside the body, which turns into phlegm over time, and dampness turning into heat; or a habit of eating spicy and greasy foods, which causes endogenous dampness and heat that accumulate in the stomach and intestines. The Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming starts from the face and goes down across the chest. Damp-heat in the stomach and intestines travels up along the meridians and blocks the chest and skin, causing acne.

Analyzing from the perspective of Western medicine, it mainly includes the following aspects.

The first is hygiene factors, such as unclean face, oil and dirt accumulation, clogged pores, etc., which cause acne.

The second is diet. Eating a lot of high-fat, high-sugar and acidic foods, and too little intake of fiber and vitamins, will cause excessive acidity in the body, resulting in rough skin, clogged pores, and even varying degrees of acne.

The third is mental factors. Tension, anxiety, irritability, worry, insomnia and long-term lack of sleep can cause metabolic disorders in the body and also cause acne.

The fourth is the endocrine factor. Endocrine disorders during and after puberty cause abnormal hormone levels in the body, which can seriously affect the condition of the skin and is a major factor in causing acne outbreaks.

Dry stools can also cause acne. Frequent dry stools affect gastrointestinal function and the normal functioning of cardiovascular function. It is not good for your health. What rises does not rise, and what falls does not fall. The rise of toxins can cause dizziness, fatigue, mouth ulcers, swollen and painful gums, and capillary dilation, all of which can seriously affect the metabolism of the skin.

I believe you have already known the causes of intestinal acne, but there are many reasons for acne. We need to figure out these reasons so that we can prescribe the right medicine. This is the end of my discussion on the causes of acne. I hope that these can only make up for everyone’s lack of knowledge and ultimately treat acne thoroughly.
