Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, but so far we don't have any children. I'm very anxious about it myself and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition will worsen. Please tell me why my endocrine is. How can I treat acne?Doctor's answer:
Acne, also known as zits, is a chronic inflammatory condition of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands caused by excessive keratinization leading to obstruction and impaired sebum metabolism. It commonly occurs on the face and back, presenting in various forms such as blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. The exact pathogenesis is not yet fully understood, but it may be related to factors such as endogenous sex hormones, endocrine disorders, sebaceous glands, and microorganisms within the hair follicles. Most individuals can naturally recover or experience symptom reduction after adolescence. During treatment, it is important to avoid emotional stress or psychological pressure and ensure adequate deep sleep. A light diet with limited intake of fats and sugars is recommended, and irritating foods should be avoided. Foods high in iodine, such as seaweed and kelp, can enhance endogenous androgens, stimulate sebum secretion, and worsen the condition, so they should be consumed in moderation or avoided. Maintaining good skin hygiene is essential.
