Gynecological diseases as causes of facial acne in women

If epidermal defects or systemic diseases form, acne often appears on the face. Patients with a negative emotional background are also prone to their formation. This is not a cosmetic defect; you need to look for the root cause in the condition of the internal and external organs; perhaps a disease develops in the human body. Depending on the location of acne, you can look for the presence of a particular pathology in the human body. In addition to defects and diseases in the body, acne can appear due to improper care procedures or the presence of hypersensitivity to components of cosmetic products.

Pimple distribution map

Typically, pimples are localized on the following areas of the face and surrounding tissues:

• forehead, nose, chin;
• cheeks, temples;
• lips, eyelids.

A cosmetologist, dermatologist, therapist, and gastroenterologist are involved in recognizing the development of the disease depending on the spread of acne.

If acne is located in the eyelid area, liver and kidney pathologies can occur in the human body. If there are pimples on the chin, problems are sought in diseases of the digestive tract.

There are various zones on the face where epidermal pathology can spread. This is a kind of mirror reflecting the state of internal organs and systems.

In order for a doctor to accurately understand the possibility of developing the disease depending on the spread of acne, it is necessary to know which organs or systems are associated with different areas of the face. These data are shown in the table.

The presence of pimples in this area alone is not enough to determine the diagnosis. Based on the symptoms, the doctor assumes a pathology, prescribing laboratory and instrumental tests. It is with their help that various types of diseases are identified.

The relationship between acne and internal organs

In each internal organ, metabolic processes occur, as a result of which energy is produced. It has both chemical and electrical manifestations.

Even ancient Eastern physicians discovered the fact that part of this energy moves from each internal organ to the skin, where it rotates along clearly defined paths.

The first representative of the energy system that signals distress within the body is the face

.
That is why it is a kind of map-scheme
, on which alarm lights periodically turn on, as an internal signal for help.

Having an idea of ​​the projection of organs on the facial areas, an experienced doctor determines not only the affected organ itself, but also neighboring organs that are also involved in the pathology zone.

Common reasons

The most common causes leading to acne formation are identified. They must be taken into account when prescribing tests to identify various diseases.

The following pathological factors are identified that cause blockage of pores with a concentration of purulent contents:

• endocrine disruption;
• formation of an inflammatory focus;
• digestive system dysfunction;
• diabetes mellitus and other pancreatic diseases;
• dysfunction of the thyroid gland;
• hypovitaminosis;
• unfavorable heredity;
• lack of use of epidermal care;
• weak immunity;
• spread of pathogenic microflora;
• hypersensitivity reaction;
• subcutaneous mite reproduction;
• negative psycho-emotional background;
• environmental pollution.

Often, pimples can form due to chronic infection, leading to intoxication. Therefore, it is necessary not only to identify the root cause, but also to cleanse the body of toxins, waste, and pathogenic microorganisms. To do this, you can use Enterosgel, which belongs to the group of sorbents. It effectively removes all toxic products from the gastrointestinal tract, prevents intoxication and infection. It is also applicable for allergies, removes antigens. Constipation does not occur during its use, so it can be used for a long time.

Let's look at the main types of comedones

Open comedones are the so-called blackheads. They are pores clogged with oxidized sebum and keratinized cells with melanin particles. Because of this, they have a dark shade and dense structure.

Closed comedones are small white subcutaneous nodules. They are formed when the sebaceous ducts are blocked by dead skin cells and sebum. Unlike blackheads, in closed comedones the plug is formed subcutaneously, and the duct does not have an exit to the outside. Papules quite often become inflamed, also cause pain, and a reddish tint appears around them.

Both types of comedones spoil the appearance, form irregularities, pigment spots, and depressions (as a consequence), and improper treatment and removal can cause the appearance of new lesions.

Many comedones form acne - a disease of skin rashes.

It is important not to confuse closed comedones with milia (epidermal cystic formations), sebaceous adenomas (benign skin formations characteristic of adulthood) and allergic rashes. Getting rid of these types of skin diseases is possible only in a beauty salon, under the supervision of a doctor.

Causes and methods of treatment for pimples on the forehead

If acne develops in the forehead area, most often the cause is endocrine disruption. Acne can gradually spread to the nose, cheek area, that is, it affects the entire T-zone. The following pathogenesis is distinguished:

• a large amount of dirt and bacteria accumulate in the pores, so they become clogged;
• Excessive amounts of sebum are produced;
• purulent discharge is formed.

To identify the cause of the disorder, you need to take a hormone test. Be sure to examine the level of testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones.

There are different zones on the forehead, if affected, one can suspect a more precise localization of the lesion:

1. Central part of the forehead
   . Perhaps the intestines are affected, its microflora is disturbed. It is recommended to get tested for dysbacteriosis.
2. Hair growth area
   . The presence of gallbladder pathology and the possibility of stone formation are assumed.
3. Lateral parts of the forehead
   . They look for lesions in the esophagus, stomach, duodenum.
4. Area above the eyebrows
   . Check the condition of the cardiovascular system and urinary tract.

When examining a patient, an anamnesis must be taken. Find out what foods a person eats. If he eats too much flour, fatty, fried, and sweet foods, this is precisely the problem. Such products are difficult to digest in the gastrointestinal tract.

The doctor should ask the person about the amount and types of medications used. Many of them are toxic to the body and cause rashes. For example, long-term use of antibiotics.

The forehead is susceptible to hypersensitivity reactions. For example, if an allergy to cosmetics develops.

The following treatment methods are distinguished:

• eating healthy foods, refusing food that is prohibited by the gastroenterologist;
• cleansing the digestive tract with sorbents;
• the use of creams, ointments, tonics with an antiseptic effect for the epidermis.

To identify the exact damaging factor, it is recommended to take tests of stool, blood, and urine.

What to do if acne occurs?

To get rid of acne, you must first determine the true causes of the pathology. Before performing cosmetic procedures, experts advise visiting a dermatologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist and, of course, a gynecologist. Treatment of acne caused by gynecological or endocrine diseases includes eliminating the primary causes of the rash.

To help the body cope with acne faster, cosmetologists recommend reviewing your diet. Changing gastronomic habits (giving up sweets, flour, spicy, salty, etc.) can have a positive effect on the condition of the face.

Etiology, treatment of acne on the cheeks

Rashes in the cheek area depend on the condition of the digestive tract and respiratory system. It is recommended to take into account the area where pimples occur:

• middle
  - the development of an inflammatory process in the alveoli of the lungs is possible;
• lower part, cheekbones
  - possible development of intestinal dysbiosis, intoxication of the body;
• the upper part
  is the use of low-quality, low-grade cosmetics, which gradually clog pores, cause allergic reactions and the accumulation of bacteria.

If a person develops large, purulent pimples in the summer, one of the most common reasons is the use of air conditioning. Cold air can lead to a negative reaction and accumulation of sebum.

Subcutaneous mites - demodex - can spread in the cheek area. It is not visible visually, but it leads to the formation of large acne that is difficult to treat.

Therapy methods:

• checking the respiratory tract for the presence of inflammatory pathology, comprehensive treatment of the disease;
• the use of probiotics and sorbents to eliminate intoxication of the digestive tract;
• the use of external agents to eliminate inflammation and bacterial infection of the skin.

If skin defects develop, it is recommended to avoid cosmetics that contain harmful substances. For example, paraffin, mineral oil, lanolin. The components clog pores and cause the formation of comedones.

Types of acne

All inflammatory diseases caused by dysfunction of the sebaceous glands are combined under the general term “acne”. Acne is divided into types.

Acne

Acne

- minor rashes.
They appear as a result of mixing a contaminated sebaceous lipid film with a new portion of a protective substance
, usually due to untimely or improper cleaning of the skin surface.

A common cause of acne, especially in adolescence, and in women during pregnancy, lactation or menopause, is also hormonal imbalance.

If a sebaceous plug has formed in the upper part of the pore, then under the influence of oxygen it oxidizes and turns into blackheads - comedones.

If it “settles” in the deep layers of the skin, the duct expands and a wen is formed, or, as it is also called, a whitehead - this is a mini sebaceous cyst, a blood clot, which, due to a clogged pore, does not come to the surface.

Wen can be visible or almost invisible. In this case, it feels rough on palpation and appears when the skin stretches.

Pimples

Pimples are the consequences of acne that is not eliminated in time.

Horny scales are a good breeding ground for bacteria, which transform innocent acne into more noticeable and inflamed pimples: papules and pustules.

Papule

This is a comedon that has become infected. Outwardly it appears as a clearly limited red nodule with a diameter of up to 3 mm.

Pustule

An abscess with a diameter of up to 1 cm. It can be in the shape of a hemisphere, a cone, or remain flat. Characterized by purulent contents and inflamed edges.

The color of the pus can range from white to greenish - in this case it can be argued that a secondary infection has been added to the inflammatory process.

Diagnosis and treatment of acne on the nose

Rashes and acne development most often occur on the nose. This is a problem area with abundant sebum secretion. Therefore, it is necessary to use high-quality treatment to not only eliminate acne, but also prevent its recurrence. Some of the most common causes of acne on the nose are:

• excessive secretion of sebum with clogged pores;
• metabolic disease;
• hormonal imbalance;
• careless, poor quality care;
• dysfunction of the pancreas, islets of Langerhans;
• inflammatory diseases of the stomach, for example gastritis;
• cardiovascular pathologies;
• chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma.

Treatment methods:

• consumption of high-quality food, adequate physical activity;
• use of high-quality cosmetics for facial care;
• adequate hormonal therapy in the presence of endocrine pathology;
• use of antiseptic, anti-inflammatory agents for external use.

There are special strips to remove clogged pores on the nose. It is recommended to use them over a long period of time to cleanse the pores.

Treatment procedure using the M22 device

The treatment principle is based on the targeted action of light rays in the range of 311 nm. The phototherapy procedure is absolutely painless and safe, and at the same time very effective. There is no long recovery period required after it. Additional advantages are that one session only takes about 30 minutes, and the effect is targeted only to problem areas.

In addition to the treatment of comedones and acne, there is also photorejuvenation, pigmentation treatment, lifting, and also has an antiseptic effect. The necessary parameters are set on the device: wavelength and depth of exposure, radiation intensity, intervals between flashes and their duration. Before the procedure, the cosmetologist cleanses the skin, applies a conductive gel and protects the eyes of himself and the patient with special glasses.

The M22 hardware procedure is recommended not only for the treatment, but also for the prevention of acne.

Identifying and eliminating acne on the chin

The following etiological factors are distinguished:

• hormonal imbalance;
• inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity, including in the gum area;
• disease of the reproductive system (inflammation in the uterus, ovaries in women, prostate in men);
• consumption of excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages, caffeine;
• negative psycho-emotional state.

To identify the exact cause, you need to consult a gynecologist, urologist, or endocrinologist. They will prescribe laboratory blood tests and instrumental tests. With their help, pathology can be accurately determined.

If large acne develops in women, the following reasons can be assumed:

• polycystic ovary syndrome;
• deviation of the menstrual cycle.

Treatment methods:

• pathogenetic therapy of the reproductive organs, carried out after ultrasound of the pelvic organs and other tests;
• treatment with hormones for endocrine imbalance;
• local antibiotics, antiseptics, anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic therapy.

Without adequate diagnosis, treatment of any pathologies cannot be started.

Detection and treatment of acne on the temples

This is the rarest area where acne forms. More often the cause of the condition is inflammatory pathologies of the gallbladder. But it is additionally recommended to consult with an endocrinologist to rule out pathology causing hormonal imbalance.

The following damaging factors are identified that cause the formation of acne in the temple area:

• insufficient intake of vitamins into the body;
• difficulty functioning of the small and large intestines;
• difficulty with lymphatic drainage.

Rashes on the temples periodically appear after changes in the level of physiological hormones. For example, when using contraceptives, after childbirth, during adolescence.

Therapy methods:

• diet with no fast food, fatty, fried foods;
• use of multivitamins;
• applying local cosmetics to eliminate the rash.

If the condition is physiological, no treatment is required. It will go away on its own when the damaging factor is eliminated.

Why do pimples* appear near the lips?

The appearance of acne in this area may indicate problems with the gastrointestinal tract and the need to cleanse the intestines. In addition to medicinal treatment of acne, you will also need to reconsider your diet, exclude fast food, carbonated drinks, reduce the amount of sweet and fatty foods, and do not rely on milk. The diet should be supplemented with fiber, consult a gastroenterologist about detox therapy.65

Diagnosis and methods of eliminating acne on the bridge of the nose

If acne is concentrated on the bridge of the nose, the following reasons are identified:

• liver dysfunction;
• drinking large amounts of alcoholic beverages, smoking, poor quality food in the diet;
• negative psycho-emotional background.

The main function of the liver is to remove harmful, toxic products. It takes part in the production of red blood cells. If its function is impaired, rashes always appear on the face.

Therapy methods:

• reduction of protein products in the diet;
• exclusion of situations leading to severe stress, irritation, neurosis;
• use of cosmetics for local treatment.

When dealing with acne on the bridge of the nose, it is important to establish a stable psycho-emotional background.

Detecting and treating acne around the eyes

Factors leading to the formation of pimples around the eyes:

• pathologies of the kidneys, adrenal glands;
• insufficient intake of water into the body;
• the presence of an allergic reaction, for example, when applying low-quality cosmetics.

Treatment methods:

• stabilization of water and electrolyte balance by drinking large amounts of water, at least 2 liters per day;
• compliance with sleep and wakefulness, long rest.

If acne is concentrated around the eyes, it is prohibited to use aggressive cosmetic preparations intended for antiseptic treatment.

This can cause the formation of wrinkles and irritation. Only soft, gentle cosmetic products are used.

Features of treatment, identifying the causes of acne around the lips

Rashes around the lips are very rare. This usually indicates the following abnormalities in the body:

• impaired fecal formation, accompanied by constipation or diarrhea;
• increased flatulence, bloating;
• colic associated with intestinal spasms;
• stress, depression, nervous tension;
• hormonal imbalance;
• unsuccessful hair removal around the lips, leading to clogged pores and inflammation;
• allergic reaction.

Therapy methods:

• prohibition of consuming large amounts of carbohydrates;
• use of hormones to stabilize endocrine levels;
• the use of probiotics that stabilize the state of intestinal microflora.

If rashes appear on the face in a certain area for a long time, the cause of the lesion can be assumed. But you are additionally required to pass laboratory and instrumental tests prescribed by your doctor. It is impossible to make a diagnosis on your own by starting therapy. Such treatment will be incorrect and will lead to many negative consequences.
