Acne keeps appearing in one place

Nowadays, not only adolescent boys and girls get acne on their faces, but many adults also get acne on their bodies. Moreover, due to the characteristics of acne, even if you use medication to suppress the growth of acne, it is actually only temporary, and acne is likely to recur. Moreover, some people are frustrated that acne always appears again and again in the same place. So, what should you do if acne recurs in the same place?

After adulthood, the acne on the face seems to have an appointment and always appears in the same place on the face. Some people have it on the jaw, some on the forehead, and some people have one cheek that is the "hardest hit area" of acne.

1. Cystic acne

Acne that grows under the skin tends to reappear in the same place on the face. Our pores are shaped like long tubes, and when there is excess oil secretion, it "takes a detour" and overflows onto the surface of your skin. At this point, the oil forms a ball under the skin and expands or shrinks like a balloon (depending on how much oil is being secreted.)

Solution: Since cystic acne changes your skin structure, you can only wait for it to dry out or see a dermatologist for help. If you only get one or two pimples a month, your doctor will usually prescribe cortisone. If you have frequent breakouts, you may need to treat acne from the inside out.

2. Squeezing out whiteheads may cause other acne

If you pop a pimple and expose the whitehead outside the skin, and the rest of the pimple is not removed, it may become inflamed again and lead to other pimples.

Solution: In order to prevent acne from happening again, it is best to use a facial cleanser containing salicylic acid to remove excess oil from your face and keep your pores clean. Then use benzoyl peroxide to reduce inflammation and sterilize the acne area to prevent infection.

3. Bad hygiene habits can also cause acne

Many people unconsciously support their chin with their palms when thinking, and this part is prone to acne. Repeatedly letting dirty hands touch the same area of ​​skin allows dirt and oil to enter the pores, causing acne.

Solution: Usually, avoid touching your face with unwashed hands. Cleanse your face with a salicylic acid cleanser morning, noon and night, then use a benzoyl peroxide product to remove any remaining bacteria on your face.

4. Acne during menstruation

Many people think they are more prone to acne during their menstrual period. Indeed, during menstruation, acne is more likely to break out on the lower third of the face because the hormone-sensitive lymph nodes are located near the jawline, and when hormones change suddenly, oil secretion will also change.

Solution: Start using a salicylic acid facial cleanser to remove oil from your face a week before your period. When your period starts, you won’t get acne due to oil clogging your pores due to hormonal changes.
