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

There are generally a few reasons for acne at the corners of the mouth. The first is eating spicy food such as hot pot the day before. The second is excessive oil secretion from the body that clogs the hair follicles. Staying up late and sleeping late can cause this. The third is patients with hemorrhoids. In short, the internal cause of acne is that the heat in the body has not dissipated, in simple terms, it is caused by getting a sore throat. If you get a pimple, remember not to squeeze it with your hands.

Acne around the lips is mostly caused by constipation or intestinal heat, eating too much spicy or fried food, and using toothpaste with too much fluoride can also stimulate acne around the lips.

Most acne patients have "internal heat" and should choose foods that have the effect of "cooling" and removing "heat" and promoting the production of body fluids and moistening dryness, such as rabbit meat, duck meat, fungus, mushrooms, celery, lettuce, loofah, bitter gourd, tomatoes, lotus roots, mung beans, pears, hawthorns, apples, etc. It is advisable to eat crude fiber foods, such as whole wheat bread, coarse grains (corn, etc.), bamboo shoots, etc., which can promote gastrointestinal motility and accelerate metabolism. It is advisable to eat foods rich in vitamin A. Vitamin A is beneficial to the proliferation of epithelial cells, can prevent hair follicle keratinization, eliminate acne, regulate the function of skin sweat glands, and reduce the erosion of acidic metabolites on the epidermis, such as carrots, shepherd's purse, spinach, animal liver, etc. It is advisable to eat foods rich in vitamin B2. Vitamin B2 can promote the biological oxidation process in cells and participate in the metabolism of sugar, protein and fat. Foods containing vitamin B2 mainly include: lean meat, milk, eggs, green leafy vegetables, etc.

Acne patients should avoid eating sweet, fatty and greasy foods. Therefore, it is best to eat less oily animal fat, fried foods, sesame seeds, peanuts and various high-sugar pastries. Avoid spicy food. Spicy foods stimulate the body and often lead to recurrence of acne. Such foods include alcohol, strong tea, coffee, garlic, chili peppers, etc. In addition, you should eat less dog meat, mutton, longan, carp, etc.

Get enough sleep. You should know that sleep is very beneficial to the skin, and many people suffer from increased acne due to lack of sleep.

· Pay more attention to your diet, and eat light food. Be sure to drink plenty of water. It is best to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Personally, I feel that yogurt is effective in removing bacteria and blackheads. It is best to keep the skin slightly acidic.

· Young boys and girls are most likely to suffer from acne on their faces. You can crush fresh wolfberries and apply them on your face like you would apply facial cream. Apply 1 to 2 times a day, and after about 7 to 10 days, you can see that the acne is significantly improved.
