Why do I always have closed comedones on my face

Some people will feel that they always have closed comedones on their faces. This is a more serious skin problem. When it occurs, it will cause some inflammation, which will cause their pores to be blocked, or more oil will be secreted on their face. These are the most common causes of closed comedones, and adolescents are the main group of people who suffer from closed comedones, so more attention needs to be paid during this period.

Overview

There are mainly two types of factors: external factors and internal factors.

Internal factors

1. Excessive secretion of androgen: This is the main reason. Especially during adolescence, excessive secretion of androgen in males and females is the main cause of acne. Androgens can directly stimulate the increase of sebaceous glands, promote the keratinization of hair follicles, clog the pores and cause inflammation, resulting in the formation of acne and pimples.

2. Related to women’s menstrual cycle: For some women, acne worsens before menstruation. It is mainly related to changes in hormone secretion.

3. Internal diseases or functional disorders of the body: lesions of organs such as the stomach, kidneys, and liver, especially gastrointestinal dysfunction and constipation can induce the occurrence of acne.

4. Mental stress, excessive fatigue, lack of sleep, etc.

5. Overeating greasy, spicy and sour foods and sweets.

External factors

1. Improper cleaning: causes pores to be clogged and bacterial infection.

2. Squeezing, picking, and improper needle picking: Some people squeeze acne and cause bacterial infection.

3. Use inferior cosmetics, such as dual-purpose powder, foundation, etc.

4. Ultraviolet rays and certain chemicals, etc.
