I never had acne before, but suddenly I have it.

Acne appears very suddenly, especially during adolescence. Your face may be clean and smooth the day before, but one or two large pimples may appear on your forehead or chin overnight. The appearance of pimples can make people feel very irritated, and you can’t put on makeup when you have pimples. You can only wait for the pimples to disappear on their own. What are the reasons why people who never had acne suddenly developed acne?

The occurrence of acne is closely related to factors such as excessive sebum secretion, blockage of the sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles, bacterial infection and inflammatory response. After entering puberty, the level of androgens, especially testosterone, in the human body increases rapidly, promoting the development of sebaceous glands and producing a large amount of sebum. At the same time, abnormal keratinization of the sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles causes blockage of the ducts, hindering the excretion of sebum and forming keratin plugs, also known as micro-acne. Various microorganisms, especially Propionibacterium acnes, multiply in large numbers in the hair follicles. The lipase produced by Propionibacterium acnes breaks down sebum to produce free fatty acids, while also attracting inflammatory cells and mediators, ultimately inducing and aggravating the inflammatory response.

Whether it is teenagers who are studying or young friends who are working, there will be certain pressures, so many people will suddenly develop a lot of acne on their faces. What should I do if a lot of pimples suddenly appear on my face?

Avoid negative emotions. Avoid excessive stimulation. Change your eating habits. Avoid environments with windy sand, dust and chemical compounds. You cannot take supplements when you have acne.

Some people are always easily nervous. For example, during exams, excessive fatigue, or work pressure, or even during women's special period, they will get a lot of acne. Everyone can learn some ways to relieve stress on their own.

During the period when acne appears on your face, all you need to do is keep your face clean and refreshed. Avoid using too much makeup, and use less around the eyes. For those areas that are prone to acne, you should not even use lotion on them, just keep them dry.

Just stick to your diet, eat less sugar, less greasy and spicy food, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and keep your bowel movements smooth.

Acne is also related to the environment. Generally, places that are too cold, too hot, or too humid will have an adverse effect on acne.

Some parents are afraid that their children in their growing period are not getting enough nutrition, so they try to give them supplements. In fact, this is a wrong idea. Because most tonics are hot in nature, taking them will aggravate the internal heat and make acne more likely to occur.

Do not use drugs such as corticosteroids for a long time, and avoid squeezing the acne-affected skin with your hands.
