Have you seen pictures like this?

These claims are plausible, are they true?

Is it because of problems with your internal organs that you get pimples on your face? To be honest, anyone who diagnoses that you have problems with your internal organs based on a few pimples is most likely a big liar.

Many people don’t know these 3 real reasons for acne:

1 Some people are genetic

It must be admitted that some people's good skin is really innate.

Genetics is a very important factor in acne, especially severe acne.

Some people seem to have won the "genetic lottery" and are born with very few acne; while some people have oily and acne-prone skin from generation to generation . We all know... Even if you pay attention to your diet, you may not be able to resist the fierce attack of genes.

2 Some people are entangled by this bacteria

Its full name is Propionibacterium acnes . It particularly likes oil and specifically makes its home and reproduces in the pores.

When this bacteria runs rampant, inflammation and acne will occur, and ordinary skin care products cannot deal with it!

3 Some people have excessive androgen levels

Androgens can stimulate the skin to produce oil and acne, and for girls, the most common disease that causes excessive androgen levels is polycystic ovary syndrome .

At this time, in addition to acne, you may also experience irregular menstruation, weight gain, excessive hair growth , etc. You can go to the hospital for a "six-item hormone test"!

Doing these things well can also help you get rid of acne. Medically speaking, the treatment of acne needs to be based on the severity of the disease:

🧴Wash your face gently and don’t squeeze pimples.

Oily skin and combination skin can use oil-control, moisturizing and soothing skin care products. You can also use anti-inflammatory and antibacterial products under the guidance of a doctor~

Finally, let’s reveal the result of the sister’s visit to the doctor at the beginning.

She actually went to the nephrology department, but the doctor advised her to go to the dermatology department. After applying the medicine, the acne has disappeared a lot...

If you also find that you have severe acne on your chin and forehead, you might as well go to a dermatologist as soon as possible.
