What should I do if I have acne under my collarbone?

Acne under the collarbone is usually caused by excessive secretion of sebaceous glands. Drink more water and eat less high-fat food. It is recommended to quit smoking, drinking, spicy food, use less cosmetics, and wash with hot water more often. Be careful not to squeeze, otherwise it may easily lead to infection.

It is recommended to drink plenty of water on a regular basis. Eat more vegetables, don't eat MSG or chicken essence.

Do not eat spicy or greasy food. It is beneficial to eat more vegetables and fruits.

There is no specific treatment for this, and the marks of acne will generally disappear gradually on their own.

Sebaceous gland composition

Most sebaceous glands are located between the hair follicles and the arrector pili muscles, and are composed of one or several cystic alveoli and a common short duct. The secretory part is vesicle-shaped and composed of multiple layers of glandular cells. The cells close to the basement membrane around the alveoli are smaller, flat or cubic, and are called basal cells. The newly formed glandular cells continue to move toward the center, increase in size, and have more and more small fat droplets in the cytoplasm. The cells in the center of the acinus are larger, the nucleus is condensed, the organelles disappear, and the cytoplasm is filled with fat droplets. Finally, the glandular cells disintegrate and are discharged along with the lipid droplets, which is sebum.

secretion

The secretion of sebaceous glands varies depending on factors such as race, age, gender and climate. The secretion is weak before the age of 10, is most active between the ages of 16 and 35, and weakens in old age; the secretion is active in summer and less in autumn and winter; overeating greasy, spicy and stimulating food and massage can also increase secretion. Excessive secretion of sebaceous glands can lead to oily skin, rough skin, enlarged pores, and susceptibility to acne and seborrheic dermatitis. Atrophy of sebaceous glands and insufficient secretion of sebum can lead to dry skin, desquamation, skin aging, etc., so it is critical to control the secretion of sebaceous glands.

effect

1. The sebaceous glands mainly moisturize the skin and hair to prevent dry skin. If the sebaceous glands function normally, sebum secretion is moderate, and sebum spreads in the epidermis, the skin will become smooth, shiny, and soft, and it can also prevent moisture evaporation.

2. The sebaceous glands contain fatty acids, which make the skin acidic and have a bactericidal effect.
