Acne between the eyebrows is considered to be acne and folliculitis, which may be related to the lack of attention to skin care, and strong secretion of androgens.
1. Acne: Acne may be caused by heredity, androgen-induced local sebum secretion, abnormal keratinization of perifollicular cells, propagation of Propionibacterium acnes, and immune-inflammatory response. Taking androgenic drugs, long-term improper diet, high temperature environment, psychological stress, and often stay up late, etc. may induce acne, and may also make acne worse.
2. Folliculitis: Clinically, folliculitis is categorized into infectious folliculitis and non-infectious folliculitis. Infectious folliculitis is related to bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, and can be triggered by damaged hair follicles, metabolic abnormalities, low immunity, and lack of attention to hygiene. For non-infectious folliculitis, it is mainly caused by other factors such as medication, which is less common.
It is recommended that people with acne between the eyebrows should consult a doctor for an examination to clarify the type of disease and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, and should not indiscriminately use medication or squeeze with their hands to avoid aggravating the condition.
