Some misconceptions in the process of acne diagnosis: First, is acne caused by endocrine disorders? Acne is related to endocrine disorders, mainly due to relatively high levels of androgens in the body (generally estrogen, androgens and progesterone tests are normal), causing sebaceous gland hypertrophy and excessive sebum secretion to clog pores, mainly in adolescents or premenstrual patients. However, there are many causes of acne, and this is only a part of it. Therefore, we should not attribute the cause of acne to endocrine disorders. Second, does acne need timely treatment? It is often said that acne (acne) does not matter, it will heal itself as we get older. In fact, this is true, but acne that is not treated in time will cause enlarged pores and atrophic scars, and these sequelae will directly affect our psychology and social life. Third, are oral contraceptives effective for acne patients? Birth control pills have a certain role in inhibiting androgen secretion, so for patients with high androgen levels, they should have some effect, but the side effects of the pill itself are far greater than its treatment of acne itself, so it is still not recommended to use it easily. Fourth, acne can use some acne cosmetics? 1, most of the acne cosmetics contain heat-clearing ingredients of Chinese medicine or (and) glucocorticoids or peeling agents, etc. If they contain glucocorticoids, they will cause hormone dependence, and acne will be reduced temporarily, but will rebound more afterwards. 2, acne cosmetics cure the symptoms but not the root cause. So in life, you should carefully choose the cosmetics to get rid of acne, not blindly use. V. Is it effective to do beauty treatments for acne? In today’s society, the beauty industry is prevalent, but many are very informal, it does not know the pathogenesis of acne, just a series of facial care, pricking, etc., will cause a series of problems, mainly in: 1, pricking will artificially cause atrophic scars, pigmentation spots, and even disfigurement, in fact, pricking is selective, general pricking mainly pick pimples, so as long as the right method will not generally have skin Damage, as for inflammatory papules can not be picked at will, but beauty salons often do not make a choice. 2, expensive. 3. Cure the symptoms but not the root cause. Therefore, it is advisable for acne patients to go to a regular hospital skin specialist, not to go to any black clinics, beauty salons, etc., because these places do not even understand the causes of this disease, not to mention the treatment, but only to be blinded.
