Acne location may offer clues about underlying health, experts say.
Dermatologists stress that acne, commonly viewed as mere facial blemishes, could indicate deeper health issues according to facial positioning. Dr. Geetika Mittal Gupta of the aesthetic clinic Isaac Luxe explained that acne forms from clogged hair follicles caused by oil, dead skin,n, and bacteria, alongside genetic and hormonal factors.
Explaining the concept of ‘face mapping’, Dr. Nishita Ranka stated specific acne sites may provide insights into one’s overall wellbeing.
Forehead breakouts could be caused by stress, poor diet, or sleep deprivation, which are digestive system contributors. Hair products are another possible cause.
Pimples around temples may suggest kidney or bladder problems and a diet lacking hydration.
Noida Institute’s Dr. Rishabh Raj Sharmanoted that certain skin types, such as oily combinations, are prone to acne from excess oil.
Treatment requires a balanced lifestyle with a healthy routine, gentle exfoliation, and addressing the underlying irritants.
Experts emphasize not dismissing acne quickly and investigating its location for clues to potential red flags in lifestyle or bodily functions that could aid swift medical intervention.
