A skin rash is a disease in which the sebaceous glands are inflamed. They, in turn, have a specific structure, which is one of the causes of acne on the face and body. More often this disease occurs in young men and girls in the teenage period, when there is a sharp hormonal adjustment. But older people are prone to acne in the presence of adverse factors. If the sebaceous gland is broken, it begins to produce an excessive amount of the sebaceous secret, which does not have time to go out through the duct, and there is a complete or partial blockage of it. Let's talk in more detail about what provokes the appearance of acne on the face and what is its treatment.
The main causes of acne on the face
Not only the pubertal period can bring with it the need for enhanced skin care, so we list the most common factors that cause acne:
- Hormonal background. Pubertal, pregnancy, the period of breastfeeding, the use of oral contraceptives and various hormonal drugs (for example, in the treatment of thyroid pathologies), menstruation, the period of menopause - these are the main types that lead to hormonal shocks in the body.
- Heredity.
- Stress and various disorders of the nervous system.
- Pathological microorganisms (staphylococcus, etc.).
- Problems in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Incorrect ratio (lack or overabundance) of vitamins and minerals.
- Acceptance of certain medications.
- Toxic substances.
- Cosmetical tools.
- Inadequate hygiene (dirty hands, "squeezing out" pimples).
- Food products (chocolate, citrus fruits, etc.).
Treatment of acne on the face
An integrated approach to the treatment of rash in the facial area ensures a faster resolution of the problem. But, in any case, treatment is not instantaneous and simple. In especially severe cases, it is necessary to intervene physicians who are required to identify the cause of acne on the face, which is possible during clinical trials, and to prescribe adequate treatment.
Severe cases do not involve self-medication, which can only exacerbate the problem. Doctors prescribe antibacterial drugs, antifungal, vitamin and immunomodulatory therapy, hormonal drugs and local procedures. The local measures aimed at skin cleansing from rashes include:
- autohemotherapy (administration to the patient subcutaneously or intramuscularly of his own venous blood);
- cryotherapy ;
- irradiation with ultraviolet;
- laser therapy.
With any form of acne on the face, a diet is recommended. We must strictly switch to a healthy diet, remove fast food from the diet, factory sauces and sweets, smoked meat and fatty meat, fried foods. Required will be the amount of clean water drunk per day - not less than 1.5 liters. A large number of seasonal vegetables and fruits, as well as frequent meals in small portions - that's what dieticians recommend for the treatment of acne.
