Acne is usually referred to as acne. Patients with acne should not consume foods high in sugar and grease, and should also limit their intake of dairy products (especially skimmed milk).
Acne occurs in adolescence and is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that mainly involves the follicular sebaceous gland units of the face. Its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated, and may be related to factors such as overproduction of sebaceous glands, hyperkeratosis of the openings of the follicular sebaceous glands, and proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes.
High-sugar foods and greasy foods will disrupt the body’s glucose-lipid metabolism, leading to a large secretion of sebum by the sebaceous glands. At the same time, there is a large amount of free insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and other substances in milk, which can stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete large amounts of sebum. The overproduction of sebaceous glands is an important precondition for the development of acne.
Therefore, acne sufferers should avoid high sugar, greasy food and dairy products, especially skimmed milk. In addition, patients should control their weight, protect themselves from the sun, and avoid staying up all night.
It is recommended that acne patients go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital for consultation, and the doctor will take into account the patient’s medical history and clinical manifestations to give the patient an individualized dietary prescription, and the patient needs to receive standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
