What causes acne on the chest and back?

Acne is a skin disease that is common among teenagers. It not only occurs on the face but also on the chest and back. There are many reasons for this skin disease. It not only affects the appearance but also has a certain impact on the psychology and spirit of teenagers. Do you know what causes acne on the face, chest and back? Next, let’s consult a Chinese medicine expert.

Lack of sleep is the most common cause of adult acne. People who have acne from staying up late usually have rough and dull skin. The acne looks larger, is red and swollen, and feels hard. It is caused by poor body functions, poor blood circulation, poor metabolism, and inability to excrete toxins, which results in the formation of acne on the skin. In this case, adult acne will not become inflamed. If you squeeze it hard, it will cause the inflammation to worsen.

Oily skin with excessive oil secretion can easily clog pores and cause acne, but if it is dry skin or adults with reduced oil secretion, will there be problems with clogged pores? Stress, lack of sleep, menstrual period and menopausal hormonal changes can all damage the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum is the outermost protective layer of the skin. When it is damaged, the skin's resistance will decrease and deteriorate. However, the old dead skin cells will not be reduced or shed because the stratum corneum is damaged, so these old dead skin cells are often the real culprits of clogging pores, giving adult acne an opportunity to take advantage.

Excessive stress in life can also cause acne on the chest and back, because excessive stress can change the body's endocrine system. An imbalance in hormone secretion can easily lead to facial and body acne. Secondly, some of the reasons are caused by not paying attention to diet. Eating too much spicy and irritating food will cause the internal heat to rise and cause acne.
