Rashes on the face disappoint people, instilling in them self-doubt. Around are replete with commercials featuring models that demonstrate beautiful, radiant, and most importantly, clean skin. Such propaganda negatively affects the personality of those who have a problematic dermis.
This article was created specifically for such people, and in it we will consider the causes of acne, the features of their localization on the face and learn methods of getting rid of such a problem.
Types of rashes
Firstly, it is worth distinguishing an allergic rash from inflamed acne.
The first has characteristic features in the form of itching and lack of maturation of the purulent comedone head. With frequent combing of this kind, rashes become a solid red or pink, densified hill. Usually, when an allergen is eliminated from the body and when taking an antihistamine, such an area first turns pale, the itching disappears, and then the skin texture takes on a regular, even appearance.
Inflamed rashes on the face do not cause itching, but when touched they can give pain. They arise due to a favorable environment for bacteria - clogged pores, and increased toxicity of the whole organism. Therefore, they can become identifiers of a disease of an organ. The fact is that if pathology occurs, then the affected organ or system creates the necessary conditions for the production of toxic substances. This reaction of the body to the disease can be regarded as one of the ways to cleanse it.
Human skin is covered with hairs that grow from follicles. If they become clogged due to the poor functioning of the sebaceous gland (which is located inside it), and the accumulation of dead cells, then acne develops. So rashes appear on the face, the reasons for which will indicate to us their location.
Localization of rashes and treatment
Oriental medicine admits such a theory: a certain area of the face corresponds to a certain organ, and with the help of such an interconnection we can assume internal pathologies according to external indicators. If the skin is healthy, then this means that all systems successfully cope with their functions. However, there is the opposite situation: for example, rashes on the face occur only on one or more specific areas of the face. So, some body does not fully cope with the work. Next we will see which organ corresponds to a particular area.
- Chin and lower cheekbone. If acne appeared in this area, then there was a hormonal malfunction of the reproductive system. It is necessary to establish the daily routine and not to abuse strong tea and coffee. For the examination, you need to go to the gynecologist and dermatologist.
- If rashes on the face in the area of the lips are worried, then it is better to pay attention to the digestive system, including the esophagus and large intestine. Try to consume more fiber, and carefully monitor the diet, excluding useless foods (chips, corn sticks, etc.). If the problem is not solved by independent forces, consult a gastroenterologist.
- Acne that appears in the nose, signal (from the point of view of Eastern medicine) of minor pathologies in the cardiovascular system. It is better to consume more B vitamins, as well as increase the amount of protein in the diet. You can go in for light sports, which will not overload the “diseased” system. To find out the exact condition of the heart and blood vessels, you need to contact a cardiologist.
- Inflammation in the cheek area indicates lung problems. Do breathing exercises, if you have a bad smoking habit, you need to get rid of it. Daily walks in the fresh air should improve the condition of the lungs and skin.
- Acne appeared on the area under the eyes indicates possible diseases of the kidneys and adrenal glands. In this case, you should contact a nephrologist who examines the body for pathologies and, if necessary, prescribes individual treatment.
- Rashes on the forehead indicate possible disorders of the gallbladder (if acne appears closer to the hairline) and the intestines (if inflammation occurs above the eyebrows). To clarify the diagnosis, you need to contact a gastroenterologist, or pay attention to personal feelings. In any case, you need to reduce the amount of consumption of sweets, alcohol, sugary carbonated drinks.
