Acne "scientific name" acne, because it is easy to happen to teenagers, is called acne, but it is not a patent for teenagers, and people over 30 or even 40 are also very common.
The etiology of acne is very complicated, and Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by lung and stomach fever, stagnation of liver qi and endocrine disorders. Western medicine believes that there are four main reasons: first, endocrine disorders (mainly androgen and estrogen disorders); Second, the hair follicle corner plug blocks the pores, third, the sebaceous glands secrete excessively, and the sebum ratio is out of balance (mainly the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids and wax fat is out of balance); The fourth is local infection (mainly Corynebacterium acne and Corynebacterium propionate infection). In addition, mental factors, dietary factors, environmental factors,,, and are also closely related to the onset of acne! A large number of facts have proved that people with mental anxiety are not only prone to acne, but also more difficult to treat than people with optimistic spirits. Among the four most important pathogenic factors, endocrine disorder is the most important cause. Modern medical research has confirmed that androgen can increase hair follicle keratinization and promote sebaceous gland secretion. Therefore, when there is too much androgen, it can lead to excessive keratinization of hair follicles, resulting in pore blockage; It can also induce excessive secretion of sebaceous glands and imbalance of sebum ratio. Hair follicle blockage and excessive sebum secretion can easily lead to local infection. As can be seen from the above, endocrine disorders are the most fundamental cause of acne!
