Chest acne during pregnancy

The endocrine system of pregnant women will be disturbed during pregnancy. Because of pregnancy, progesterone will rise rapidly, which will lead to endocrine disorders. The most common phenomenon of endocrine disorders is acne on the body. The location of acne is different for different people, but most people will have acne on the face and chest. So what is the reason for acne on the chest during pregnancy?

1What are the types of small acne?

Find out what type of acne you have:

When the pimple first appears, it is very red, hot and painful, and after a few days small white spots will appear on the top. The stool is dry and the urine is yellow with a burning sensation.

The initial cause of this type of acne is the imbalance of yin and yang in the lungs, which causes the heat from the lungs to fumigate the skin. It often occurs in summer and autumn because the lungs accumulate too much heat in this season and it is not easy to vent. If acne lasts a little longer, the heat will seep into the blood, causing imbalance of yin and yang of Qi and blood and poor circulation. If the acne is not treated properly at this time and persists for a long time, it will be a serious problem. It will lead to blood stasis and phlegm accumulation, which will be very difficult to treat. Therefore, if you have small pimples on your face, you must treat them in time to ensure that your beautiful face is not damaged.

I have had acne on my face for a long time and I can't get rid of it. It is dark red in color, not hot, not painful, and feels like a pimple. People who have a greasy tongue coating, are overweight, and like to eat greasy and fatty foods are prone to this type of acne.

This type of acne is caused by imbalance of yin and yang in the spleen and stomach, and accumulation of dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach. When moisture accumulates, it turns into heat over time. The dampness and heat block the skin, the pores are blocked, and acne grows quietly.

I have recurring pimples on my face. The pimples are not big and the redness and swelling are not obvious, but they do not heal for a long time. They are accompanied by symptoms such as soreness in the waist and knees, nocturnal emission, night sweats, and hot hands and feet.

This type of acne is caused by insufficient kidney yin. The above symptoms may occur due to congenital kidney essence deficiency, imbalance of kidney yin and yang, failure to replenish and nourish the yin of the lungs and stomach, resulting in lung and stomach yin deficiency and internal heat.

2 Reasons for acne on the chest of pregnant women

Other reasons why women may develop acne on their chests after pregnancy include:

1. Endocrine disorders caused by pregnancy are the most common cause.

2. Improper diet can also cause acne in pregnant women’s bellies. Avoid eating spicy, fried and cold foods.

3. It is caused by hot and humid weather, so you must pay attention to personal hygiene.

4. Excessive bile acid can also cause acne on pregnant women’s stomachs, so it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Generally, acne is mainly caused by factors in the body. Pay attention to regular facial cleansing and hydration; pay more attention to self-care:

1. For oily skin with strong sebum secretion, avoid excessive cleansing. After cleansing, pay attention to proper hydration to maintain water-oil balance

2. Try not to touch the pimples on your face with your hands, as this can easily irritate your face.

3. Eat a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and do not drink alcohol or smoke.

4. Develop good living habits, exercise moderately, maintain a regular schedule, drink plenty of water, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

5. Make sure to get enough sleep and relax to avoid liver fire causing hormonal imbalance.

6. Try to avoid using too many skin care products in daily life.

From the above introduction, the phenomenon of acne on the chest of pregnant women has nothing to do with the pregnancy itself. It can only be said that the pregnant women did not change their previous bad living habits after pregnancy, which makes women panic when some minor problems occur after pregnancy. It is recommended that pregnant women change some bad living habits during pregnancy.

3. Acne is running wild on your head

The number one culprit for acne on the scalp: excessive oil secretion

In the scorching summer, the rising temperature leads to more active sebum secretion. In addition to the vigorous oil secretion on the face, the human scalp actually has a very rich number of hair follicles and sebaceous glands, and the scalp also produces oil. If no oil control measures are taken on the scalp and the hair is not washed frequently, excessive oil secretion will clog the hair follicles, causing small bumps on the scalp like "acne". Especially for people with oily skin, the scalp will produce more oil.

Wash your hair frequently. You should wash your hair frequently in summer, preferably every day. It is best to choose a mild shampoo and conditioner with a shrinking effect. Helps shrink scalp pores and reduce sebum secretion. Alternatively, you can add a tablespoon of vinegar to your shampoo to reduce oil and make your hair shinier. When washing your hair, you can do some head massage or gently comb your hair with a wide-tooth comb. The scalp that has been tightened by the scorching sun in the summer can be greatly relaxed at this time. Some professional hair combing brands’ combs can have a calming and soothing effect, and are even very effective for some heat boils, redness and swelling on the head.
