Cracking the Acne Map: What Your Pimples and Breakouts Reveal About Your Health.

A mirror of our internal health: acne

Often perceived as a simple skin problem, acne is actually a valuable indicator of our overall health. It is an outward manifestation of what is happening inside our body.

Understanding Acne

Acne isn’t just the result of a clogged pore or bacteria. This is often a sign of what is happening throughout our system. The different forms of rashes and their location on the face or body tell us about our health concerns. So each eruption site has its own message. Doctors interestingly interpret where and how a person has acne as an indication of certain symptoms of diseases. This is because acne means that something is wrong with certain organs and systems.

The language of acne

Pimples on the cheeks can indicate an efficient respiratory system, whether related to an allergy or asthma. They may also be associated with frequent use of dirty phone screens, pillowcases, and other objects that come into contact with the face and serve as a breeding ground for bacteria.

Acne on the jawline and chin, on the other hand, can be a sign of a hormonal imbalance, often seen during menstruation or periods of high stress. Hormonal or menstrual disorders are the most common causes of pimples on the jaw in women.

Finally, acne on the forehead is often linked to digestion problems, because the digestive system and the nervous system are connected.

Act accordingly

It is therefore essential to listen to your skin and “read” this acne map to have an overall vision of your health and plan your long-term well-being.

A balanced diet, quality sleep, adequate hydration, stress management and a practical skin care routine are key to treating the factors that cause acne. It is also important to consult medical professionals or dermatologists to work holistically towards clear and healthy skin.
