Patient's question:
I get acne one week before and one week after my period, and it all appears on my chin. I've seen both traditional Chinese and Western medicine doctors, but the problem hasn't been resolved. Western medicine provided temporary relief, but the side effects were too severe. What should I do about acne caused by hormonal imbalance before and during my period?Doctor's answer:
Mainly, it is related to endocrine disorders, your emotional state, environment, diet, and blood heat. You must rest before 11 PM, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, pay attention to skin cleanliness and moisturization, use less cream and foundation, drink more warm water, and promote bowel regularity. Relax yourself and avoid work and life pressures. During treatment, the patient's diet and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
