Your facial acne tells its own story about health problems that you have not yet discovered. Here’s how you recognise the problem from the symptoms.
Developing acne on the face is a distressing phenomenon. It robs your face of its natural beauty, and worse, it tells the world that you may not be taking good care of your skin. However, the opposite may be true – despite assiduous skin care, you might still break out in acne.
Did you know that the acne on your face points to specific health problems? Acne on one part of the face may show issues with a specific internal organ. This is how facial acne helps to detect underlying medical issues:
The forehead: Forehead acne often indicates a digestive problem. It is often caused by food rich in trans fats, oil, and dairy products. The skin reacts to the toxin overload by developing forehead acne. The best acne treatment in this case is a change in dietary habits, cleaning the face twice a day and drinking a lot of water.
The nose: It is surprising to note that nose acne may indicate heart problems. It might indicate poor heart health, and a build-up of plaque in the arteries. Besides, the skin on the nose has several oil glands, which makes it quite oily and prone to acne and blackheads. Good treatment for acne on the nose is to cleanse the skin regularly with a mild face wash, and get a heart test done.
The T zone: The T zone regularly develops acne, which is why most people slather face packs to prevent a breakout. The T zone comprises the forehead, eyebrows and nose. However, T zone acne is not to be taken lightly – it shows issues with the liver, kidneys and stomach brought on by a poor diet, lack of hydration, sun exposure and less sleep.
The cheeks: The cheeks commonly develop acne. They become oily, and are touched more often than other parts of the face. Your hair can also come in contact with the skin, causing grease and dirt to transfer to it. Acne on the cheeks is normally a result of poor skin hygiene. It is also brought on by skin being unable to remove toxins through sweat. Treat cheek acne by drinking lots of water, consuming warm fluids like clear soup, and staying away from polluting environments.
The chin: Acne on the chin comes from hormonal imbalances. Often, the problem is indicative of issues with the pituitary gland, pancreas, and thyroid. Often, correcting the issue with the glands or the gynaecological area corrects the acne. However, the acne treatment for the chin must consist of gentle cleansing and applying topical creams prescribed by a dermatologist.
The neck: Neck acne is common to those who suffer facial acne. It shows poor skin health and lack of a care routine. But if the acne is stubborn and prone to developing fluid or pus, it shows that there is a problem with the digestive tract and bowels. Those who suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and bloating, apart from poor digestion, are more prone to neck acne.
Getting acne treatment on time can prevent most forms of acne, and also help in detecting any hidden health problems that have escaped your notice.
