How to Get Rid of Pimples on the Face?

For adolescents, due to the high level of endocrine secretions in their bodies, it is easy to develop acne on their faces. To quickly eliminate acne, in addition to ensuring clean pores, attention should also be paid to diet in daily life. For instance, spicy, greasy, and even heavy-flavored foods should be reduced or avoided. Eating more bland and detoxifying foods can effectively control the recurrence of acne. Additionally, staying up late frequently can also lead to the appearance of acne on the face.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands caused by multiple factors. The fundamental cause is endocrine imbalance and excessive secretion of androgen. The etiology of acne is also related to some pathogenic bacteria infections. It has been confirmed that the occurrence of acne is associated with Propionibacterium acnes infection. This bacterium parasitizes in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands during puberty, hydrolyzing triglycerides through the action of lipase to produce more free fatty acids. These free fatty acids can cause non-specific inflammatory reactions in and around the hair follicles. When the inflammation is severe, pustules and cysts may appear. Some people believe that acne is a normal physiological phenomenon in humans and does not require treatment, but this view is incorrect. If acne is mild with few lesions, it may be left untreated to resolve naturally. However, if there are many lesions and severe inflammation, active treatment is necessary. Especially for patients with pustular, nodular, abscess, and cystic acne, if not treated promptly, they may leave depressed or hypertrophic scars, affecting skin appearance. Therefore, acne not only requires treatment but also active and reasonable treatment. However, acne can vary in severity and has complex causes, and it is not recommended for patients to self-medicate as improper medication may worsen the condition. Instead, they should seek treatment at a hospital based on their specific condition.

There are several other causes of acne:

1. Excessive secretion of androgen;
2. Excessive secretion of sebum, with excessive sebum and uncleared sweat, dust, bacteria, mites, etc., blocking the sebaceous glands;
3. Local inflammation;
4. Bacterial infection and cross-infection, with the role of pathogenic microorganisms such as Propionibacterium acnes;
5. Immunological antibody action;
6. Genetic factors;
7. Deficiency of trace elements leading to excessive keratinization;
8. Exposure to mineral oils, such as the use of iodides and bromides;
9. Consumption of excessive animal fats and sugary foods, as well as gastrointestinal disorders such as indigestion or constipation.
