Patient's question:
My previous skin wasn't great, but it never broke out in acne. Lately, for the past month, a few pimples have suddenly appeared on my face, and they've been getting more and more. I've tried some acne products, but they haven't been effective at all. Now, I'm dealing with an acne-prone face, and it really hurts.Doctor's answer:
This is generally caused by excessive sebum secretion from the sebaceous glands. Drink more water and eat less high-fat foods. It is recommended that you completely avoid alcohol, use less spicy foods, and use cosmetics more often with hot water. Pay close attention not to squeeze, as this can easily lead to transmission. It is essential to drink more water and eat more vegetables in daily life. Avoid MSG and chicken essence, as they may increase zinc excretion, potentially leading to zinc deficiency, which can exacerbate this condition. There is no specific treatment for acne, and the marks usually gradually disappear on their own. For patients, if the gynecological condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medications should be used. Otherwise, the gynecological condition may recur. In addition, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
