Acne on the face can occur in different locations for different reasons. Some people have naturally oily skin that is prone to acne, while others experience hormonal imbalances during puberty. The location of the acne can also indicate internal issues in the body.
【Acne on the Nose Wings Indicates Excessive Stomach Heat】
When acne appears on the nose wings, it may be due to excessive stomach heat and abnormal digestion. If there is slight peeling, it indicates poor blood circulation. Massaging the area can help improve blood circulation in this part of the skin. Additionally, people who often experience constipation and bloating are more prone to nose acne. It is recommended to supplement with zinc, vitamin B2, and vitamin B6.
Remedies:
1. Avoid cold and raw foods
Nose acne is often caused by excessive stomach heat. Avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods, as well as cold foods. Reduce meat intake and avoid hot pot, cold foods, and spicy foods. Consume warm foods and water to prevent excessive stomach acid production, which can worsen stomach heat.
2. Breathe in fresh air
Spend more time outdoors to breathe in fresh air and prevent dust and dirt from accumulating, which can trigger acne.
3. Maintain work-life balance
Engage in activities that help relax your mind and relieve life and work stress. Maintain regular meal times and sleep patterns to avoid hormonal imbalances and digestive disorders that can worsen acne.
【Acne on the Scalp】
Acne is not limited to the face and can also appear in less visible areas, such as the scalp. There are several reasons why acne can develop on the scalp, including excessive sebum production and inadequate scalp hygiene. Environmental changes and exposure to high temperatures and humidity can also increase sebum production and lead to acne.
Remedies:
1. Proper cleansing
Due to genetic factors, people with oily hair tend to have more sebum production, larger pores, and earlier keratinization. If proper cleansing is not maintained, dust and dirt can accumulate, leading to acne. Avoid scratching the scalp vigorously and wash hair no more than 3-4 times a week. Consider using medicated shampoos.
2. Maintain normal hormonal balance
If acne persists despite proper hair care and minimal oiliness, it may be necessary to check for hormonal imbalances. Maintain a regular and balanced lifestyle, ensuring sufficient sleep and rest.
3. Relax and reduce stress
Prolonged periods of stress can trigger acne, especially in individuals who experience anxiety and insomnia. Maintain a positive and relaxed mindset, practice self-regulation, and find ways to alleviate work and life stress.
4. Avoid consuming spicy, greasy, or high-sugar foods. Engage in moderate aerobic exercises when possible.
