Patient's question:
Hello, could you please ask about this disease? Is it true that endocrine disorders often cause acne on the face?Doctor's answer:
The causes of acne are relatively complex, such as poor diet, internal organ dysfunction, mental stress, poor living environment, and zinc deficiency in the body. The direct causes are the significant decrease in the excretion level of male hormones during adolescence, the continuous increase in sebum secretion by the sebaceous glands, the compression of bacteria within the hair follicles, and inflammation of the hair follicle openings. Lifestyle and dietary habits, the quality of deep sleep, chronic fatigue, excessive smoking and drinking, are also chronic factors that attract acne to linger and develop, with their destructive force not to be underestimated. Bad habits, such as neglecting the hygiene of hair and collars; the habit of resting one's chin on the palm and picking the face; incomplete makeup and inadequate face washing, are external factors that lead to the formation of acne, but they are also the most common causes.
