What is the reason for acne on both sides of the nose

In today's society, everyone loves beauty. The first impression that everyone gives to others starts with the face, and then looks at the person's figure. In daily life, we meet all kinds of people, including many who have acne on their faces. However, in recent years, we have found that more and more friends have localized acne problems, especially on the sides of the nose. Everyone feels very confused. These acne cause troubles to their lives and work, and the acne problem also seriously affects their mood and beauty. Many people don’t quite understand why acne appears on both sides of the nose. Now let’s understand the reasons together.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the pilosebaceous unit that mainly occurs in adolescents and has a great psychological and social impact on them, but it often subsides or heals naturally after puberty. The clinical manifestations are characterized by polymorphic skin lesions such as acne, papules, pustules, nodules, etc. that are prone to occur on the face.

The occurrence of acne is closely related to factors such as excessive sebum secretion, blockage of the sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles, bacterial infection and inflammatory response. After entering puberty, the level of androgens, especially testosterone, in the human body increases rapidly, promoting the development of sebaceous glands and producing a large amount of sebum. At the same time, abnormal keratinization of the sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles causes blockage of the ducts, hindering the excretion of sebum and forming keratin plugs, also known as micro-acne. Various microorganisms, especially Propionibacterium acnes, multiply in large numbers in the hair follicles. The lipase produced by Propionibacterium acnes breaks down sebum to produce free fatty acids, while also attracting inflammatory cells and mediators, ultimately inducing and aggravating the inflammatory response.

What is the reason for acne on both sides of the nose? In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the areas on both sides of the upper nose correspond to the heart. “The heart controls the blood vessels.” When there is heat in the heart meridian, the heat goes up with the blood vessels to the face and gathers in the heart, corresponding to the two sides of the upper nose, where acne appears. Sometimes it is accompanied by symptoms such as dry eyes, redness at the inner corners of the eyes, and bloodshot eyes.

The huge work pressure and the intense pace of life keep our "heartstrings" tense and unable to relax. When the blood circulation in the heart is not smooth, it turns into heat over time, and the heat gathers around the nose. With no way out, it can only "take root and sprout" on the spot.

Adjust your mindset appropriately and slow down the pace of life. In diet therapy, you can choose red foods such as red beans, red peony roots, Fritillaria cirrhosa, safflower, etc., as their bitter taste enters the heart. The area around the nose is a high-incidence area for acne, which means that you have had a poor appetite recently. It may be due to stomach fire, abnormal digestive system, and the spleen, that is, the gastrointestinal function is affected. If you want your acne to disappear quickly, remember to remind yourself not to eat too greasy food and keep your stomach and intestines refreshed. In addition, people who suffer from constipation and flatulence are more likely to get acne near their nose.

We have also seen the causes of acne on both sides of the nose, which are easily caused by many factors. The pace of life is getting faster and faster, and there are many kinds of pressure, which can easily cause people's emotions to fluctuate and cause endocrine disorders, which can easily lead to acne on both sides of the nose. Friends with acne must eat less spicy food, stay up late less, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and be sure to pay attention to the full cleansing of the skin.
