The acne in different parts of the face represents which part of the body has problems.

Everyone wants to have a clean appearance, but annoying acne often bothers countless people. About acne, there is a saying circulating on the Internet that acne on the face indicates that there is something wrong with the corresponding internal organs, and every part of the face corresponds to various organs. For example, the right face corresponds to the lungs and the left face corresponds to the liver. If you have acne in these parts, you must go to the hospital to check the corresponding organs in time. In order to find out the truth, CCTV reporter "Is it true" consulted relevant experts.

Zhao Yi, director of the dermatology department of Tsinghua University Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, said: "This statement does not exist in the field of western medicine or science, because in fact, no substantial connection between acne and an organ on the left or right has been found."

Bao, chief physician of the Department of Dermatology and Sexology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out: "It is wrong to have acne on your face corresponding to internal organs. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, acne on the face reflects the dysfunction of the five internal organs. For example, acne on the left cheek, also known as acne, reflects the dysfunction of the liver, not the problem of the liver. The liver function test is normal and the organs are fine. "

In fact, the dysfunction mentioned by Chinese medicine does not refer to an organ, but to the abnormal function of an overall system, so "acne on the face means that there is something wrong with the corresponding organ" is not valid. So, what are the causes of acne?

Zhao Yi said: "The most basic reason is genetic factors. Some patients are born with acne. Why? Because parents may grow up from an early age, the constitution is hereditary; Second, the hair follicle mouth is blocked. It is because abnormal keratinization of epidermis or hair follicle mouth will block pores and make it difficult to secrete contents. "

Bao Shen Tao said: "The internal factors are mainly related to endocrine hormones, mainly androgen secretion, sebaceous gland secretion and sebaceous gland tube blockage, that is, pore blockage."

In addition, experts also told us that infection is also an important factor leading to the growth of acne. So, what should people who are prone to acne pay attention to?

Zhao Yi said: "Avoid eating too much spicy, fried and too sweet food in life, which can easily lead to acne;" Pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue, staying up late, nervousness and anxiety, so as to reduce the occurrence of acne as a whole. "

Bao Shen Tao added: "Facial care should be maintained. For people with excessive oil secretion, wash it two or three times a day. The skin care products used must be refreshing and moisturizing, which is conducive to the secretion of sebaceous glands and the dredging of catheters. "

In addition, experts also told reporters that patients with recurrent acne and serious illness must go to professional hospitals in time and seek help from doctors. (Xiao Si Xuan finishing)
