Only young people have "acne"? In the context of modern life, many people find that they also have this "worry of youth" when they are over 30. Yanyuhong, chief physician of Dermatology Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, said that the skin condition reflects the physical condition. "Acne", "adult acne", and even acne growing in different areas, have different methods to deal with. What is the difference between "acne" and "adult acne"? Acne, often called "acne", is actually a manifestation of inflammation of skin hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Yan Yuhong said that in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, "Damp heat" is one of the important causes of acne. The accumulation of damp heat evil gas in the body can not be excreted through normal channels, but will be discharged through the "sewage outlet" of skin care, forming acne. Adolescent young people are indeed the main force of acne. Many children begin to get acne as soon as they enter puberty. The main reason is that there is a lot of oil secreted by sebaceous glands and hair follicles in puberty, which is easy to block pores and cause inflammation, which turns into acne; However, if you are still troubled by "adult pox" after the age of 30, it is often related to excessive pressure, insufficient sleep, poor spleen and stomach, and poor muscle surface permeability. Adult "war pox" and "formula" are different! More and more people find that they have been plagued by acne after puberty. Yanyuhong said that this is actually related to endocrine. "Specifically, it is related to stress. When sleep is poor and resistance is poor, plus some hot and humid external environment, it is easy to get acne." Yan Yuhong said that this "adult pox" is mainly folliculitis, especially pityrosporal folliculitis, which is common in the back of the ear, jaw, chest, back and other parts. It is usually a large nodule with pus head. Need specific treatment, including traditional Chinese medicine systemic conditioning. "The physical characteristics of adults with acne are different from those of young people." Yanyuhong said, "generally, the acne in adolescence is mainly due to the excess of lung and stomach heat and lung dryness. However, the acne in middle-aged people is mainly due to liver depression and spleen deficiency, which will be accompanied by some emotional and sleep problems. Therefore, it should be adjusted according to two different syndrome types." Does acne in different parts reflect different body states? Acne usually occurs on the face, but also on the chest, back and other different parts. Whether growing in different parts can reflect different health states of the body? "There is a picture of the five zang organs in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and we do have this phenomenon in clinical observation. We can make a rough judgment by comparison, but the specific diagnosis should be made by the doctor in combination with the four diagnostic methods." Yan Yuhong explained that, for example, if the acne grows on the forehead, most of them are angry and can be conditioned with lotus root Ophiopogon japonicus drink; The pox is on the nose and cheeks. Most of them are damp heat in the spleen and stomach, especially in the cheeks. Most of them are related to stomach fire. You can drink Hawthorn tuckahoe tea for conditioning; Acne around the lips and chin is often caused by kidney fire, and most of it is caused by staying up late and hurting the kidney yin. The kidney Yin is insufficient, and the kidney fire spreads to the face. To regulate, you can often drink medlar tea. With the arrival of summer, the season of high incidence of acne is also coming. In hot summer, sebaceous glands secrete more vigorously. And in summer, people often prefer to eat cold or irritating food. Phlegm dampness in the spleen and stomach is also one of the reasons for aggravating acne. Yanyuhong said that "war pox" can start from the spleen and stomach. In particular, the acne growing on the face is most directly related to the spleen stomach meridian. Yan Yuhong especially reminded us to avoid sugar during the "war pox" period. Too many sweets will make sebaceous glands secrete vigorously, block pores, cause inflammation and induce acne. In addition, do not apply hormones or anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, so as not to make the skin dependent. Once stopped, even serious "hormone face" will appear. (Xinhua News Agency)
