Everyone wants to have a clean appearance, but annoying acne often bothers countless people. Regarding acne, there is a widely circulated saying on the Internet: acne on the face means that there is a problem with the corresponding internal organs, and each part of the face corresponds to various organs. For example, the right side of the face corresponds to the lungs, and the left side of the face corresponds to the liver. If acne breaks out in these parts, you must go to the hospital to check the corresponding organs in time. In order to verify the truth, reporters from CCTV's "Is It Real" consulted relevant experts.

Zhao Yi, director of the Department of Dermatology at Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Memorial Hospital affiliated to Tsinghua University, said: "This statement does not exist in the field of Western medicine or science, because in fact, whether the acne is on the left or the right depends on a certain organ. The actual connection has not yet been found."

Bao Shentao, chief physician of the Department of Dermatology and Venereology of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out: "Acne on the face means there is a problem with the internal organs. This statement is wrong. According to traditional Chinese medicine, acne on the face reflects the dysfunction of the internal organs. For example, acne on the left cheek, also called acne, reflects the dysfunction of the liver, rather than a liver problem. The liver function test is normal and there is no problem with the organs.”

In fact, the dysfunction mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine does not refer to a specific organ, but a functional abnormality in the entire system, so “ It is not true that acne on the face means there is a problem with the corresponding organ. So, what are the causes of acne?

Zhao Yi said: "The most basic reason is genetic factors. Some patients are born with acne. Why, because their parents may have had acne when they were young, and the constitution is hereditary; the second is the blockage of the hair follicle opening. , it is due to abnormal keratinization of the epidermis or the mouth of the hair follicle, which blocks the pores and makes it difficult to secrete the content inside."

Bao Shentao said: "The internal cause is mainly related to endocrine hormones. , mainly caused by excessive secretion of male hormones, excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, and blocked sebaceous ducts, that is, blocked pores.”

In addition, experts also told us that infection is also an important factor in the growth of acne. . So, what should people who are prone to acne on their faces need to pay attention to?

Zhao Yi said: “In life, you should avoid eating too much spicy, fried and overly sweet food, which can easily lead to acne; you should also pay attention to rest and avoid being tired, staying up late, Only by stress and anxiety can the occurrence of acne be reduced overall."

Bao Shentao added: "Facial care must be kept up with, such as for people with excessive oil secretion, cleansing two to three times a day. , the skin care products used must be refreshing and moisturizing, which is conducive to the secretion of sebaceous glands and the clearing of ducts.”

In addition, experts also told reporters that for those with recurring acne, the situation is more serious. Patients must go to a professional hospital in time and ask a doctor for help. (Compiled by Xiao Jinbo and Yang Sixuan)
