Why do I always get pimples around my mouth?

In daily life, acne around the mouth is a common phenomenon. Acne can easily cause itching and pain in the mouth, which greatly affects normal diet and life. There are many reasons for acne around the mouth. This may be caused by stomach diseases. Stomach fire can also easily lead to acne around the mouth. You need to pay attention to a light diet.

Causes of acne around the mouth

Excessive stomach fire: one is constipation leading to the accumulation of toxins in the body or intestinal heat, eating too much spicy and fried food. When going out to play, eating is inevitable, but those snacks can easily lead to gastrointestinal heat, which breeds acne.

Excessive oil secretion: Acne is mostly caused by two reasons. One is that the skin is oily, the sebaceous glands are overdeveloped, and the sebum secretion is excessive. If the pores are clogged or oil cannot be discharged smoothly due to other reasons, the sebaceous glands will continue to secrete, and sebum will accumulate in the pores, forming acne.

Endocrine disorders: When traveling, you enter a new environment and your skin and body organs need an adaptation process. If the adaptability is poor and you feel uncomfortable, your endocrine system will be imbalanced and you will get acne at the corners of your mouth. Imbalance of hormone secretion in the body causes acne on the skin. This cause is more common during adolescence. Imbalance in hormone secretion can also indirectly cause excessive sebum secretion, further aggravating the acne condition.

Chinese and Western theories: Western medicine believes that it is caused by poor skin metabolism, food stimulation, anaerobic bacteria infection, etc. When the acne matures, ask a professional to pick it open and clean out the pus inside. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by excessive stomach fire. You can consult a Chinese medicine doctor to find out the cause of stomach fire.

Precautions

1. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid eating greasy, spicy, fried, puffed, and other foods. There are too many junk toxins in these foods, which will directly affect the digestive function of the stomach and intestines.

2. Drink plenty of water, boiled water, not beverages. Eat more foods containing zinc and vitamins A and B, and more cooling and antipyretic foods, such as bitter gourd, cucumber, pear, etc.

3. When brushing your teeth, rinse with clean water more often to avoid toothpaste residue in the mouth which may cause acne. Some substances in toothpaste cannot be kept in the mouth for a long time, because some substances will produce harmful substances after a long period of fermentation.

4. Develop good living habits, pay attention to the hygiene of your face and hands, wash your face with warm water, and do not squeeze, pinch, or pinch your face with your hands. It is best not to abuse cosmetics. You should pay more attention to hygiene at work and avoid heavy makeup. Light makeup is more natural and appropriate.

6. Stay optimistic, get enough sleep, avoid anxiety and tension, keep bowel movements smooth, and expel toxins in the body that cause acne.
