Acne is a problem that you can face at any age. In addition to causing physical discomfort (pain, and sometimes bleeding), acne can affect a person's mental state because many people experience communication difficulties, lose self-esteem, and become "hostages" to emerging complexes. Today we will tell you how to get rid of acne at home.
Doctors in various fields of medicine claim that there is no single answer to the question of the causes of acne, but the method of treatment depends on the cause of the inflammation on the skin.
The main causes of acne are several:
1. Unhealthy eating or digestive disorders.
Abuse of fast food, fried foods and overeating in general cause skin problems. You can consult a gastroenterologist, as acne can be due to ulcers or gastritis.
What can we do in this situation?
First of all, of course, we recommend that you visit a doctor, especially if you have other symptoms besides acne, but if you still decide not to go to the doctor, we advise you to review your diet: eat more vegetables and fruits, limit the use of flour and all products made from it. Give up "heavy" foods completely, such as mayonnaise (including dressings and sauces), smoked meats, sausages, french fries and so on.
2. Improper skin care.
Assess your skin type correctly and use only creams that suit your skin exactly. The indiscriminate use of all kinds of creams and cosmetics can lead to rashes. In men, even shaving gels can cause acne.
What can we do in this situation?
Clean your face in the morning and evening. Do not be lazy and clean your face before going to bed from makeup! Visit a beautician to determine your skin type and choose the right skin care products.
However, here we want to insert a very important clarification that the above statement is valid only if you do not have acne. If acne is already present then you can seriously damage your skin. For the same reason it is undesirable to use scrubs for person.
3.Acne caused by hormonal imbalance.
If you are a teenager and have acne, then we are almost 100% sure that you have a hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalance in women can be during menstruation, after pregnancy or other moments.
What can we do in this situation?
Visit an endocrinologist and gynecologist, undergo tests for the level of hormones in the blood. Keep in mind that hormonal breakdowns can lead to serious health problems - such as polycystic ovaries and mastopathy in women, so you should not approach this problem unreasonably.
Indeed, acne is often caused by health problems. But to find out the exact reason, it is better to consult a dermatologist, who can decide whether to send you for tests or to be examined by other specialists.
