Patient's question:
Five years ago, I had spots on my cheeks. Before my period, my breasts feel swollen and painful with lumps. On the first day and third day of my period, the flow is very minimal, brown in color. Starting from the third day, the flow increases with blood clots, and my lower abdomen hurts severely. By the fourth day, the pain lessens, and by the fifth day, the flow decreases. What should I do about hormonal imbalance?Doctor's answer:
Acne is a common and frequently occurring dermatological condition. According to scholars' compilations, 95% of males and 85% of females during adolescence have experienced acne to varying degrees. Therefore, it is very fitting to call it "acne." Acne is a chronic skin disease that recurs in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, commonly occurring on the face, neck, chest, and back—areas rich in sebaceous glands.Pay attention to facial hygiene: Wash your face with lukewarm water frequently, as cold water is not effective at removing oil, and hot water increases sebum secretion. Avoid irritating soaps; sulfur soaps can be beneficial for acne. Do not use creams like Snow Cream or other oil-based cosmetics.
