Healthy and beautiful skin – This is an indicator that the body is functioning fully. The appearance of acne on it symbolizes the fact that some kind of failure has occurred in it. There are several reasons for the appearance of pimples on the cheeks; they can be associated with illness or the consumption of harmful foods.
Causes of acne on the cheeks - internal diseases
- Hormonal imbalance in the body. Acne usually appears during pregnancy and breastfeeding. This may also be due to adolescence and the menstrual cycle;
- Intestinal and gastric diseases;
- Gynecological diseases. Basically, acne appears due to inflammation of the ovaries;
- Metabolic disease;
- Similar irritations can occur due to a common cold. Because of it, immunity decreases and the level of production of sebaceous glands increases;
- Hereditary disposition to the appearance of acne.
What causes pimples on the cheeks - harmful foods
- The most common harmful product is coffee. In 30 percent of cases it becomes the main cause of acne. Especially if you drink it on an empty stomach and with a lot of sugar;
- Another category of harmful products is fast food. Mostly, acne from consuming such products appears in children. Such products include rolls, sweets, cakes, chips, cakes and others;
It is strictly not recommended to do this, since this action can renew the “site of infection” and the number of acne will increase. We need to try to establish the reason for its appearance. If it is more or less clear, then we can begin to treat it. This can be done in two ways: With the help of medications or with the help of folk remedies.
Medicines
The most famous medical products are:
- "Skinoren" - a gel whose action is aimed at treating inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne. They should be applied to the entire affected area. It will normalize the production of follicles in the sebaceous glands, remove microbes from the surface of the skin and pores and reduce the production of free radicals;
- "Zinerit" is a widely used medicinal product available in the form of a lotion. It comes in a very convenient form in the form of a bottle with an applicator. Thanks to it, pimples dry out and begin to clear up faster, bacteria are destroyed and inflammation is reduced;
- "Differin" - medical acne gel with a cooling effect. Allows you to relieve inflammation and destroy bacteria.
Folk remedies
If you don’t have a medication at hand, or there is a need to enhance its effect, then you can try to cure acne with folk remedies.
There are several proven techniques that will improve the structure of the subcutaneous tissues and make the skin tone even:
- Homemade lotion – the best product that dries the skin and removes oily shine on it. It can be made from various components. For example: aloe juice. This natural remedy was used even when cosmetics did not exist. To prepare it, you need to cut off several aloe leaves and put them in a dark place. After two weeks, you can squeeze the juice from them. You should wipe your face with the resulting natural lotion every day;
- St. John's wort contains a lot of vitamins that are beneficial for the skin. It is recommended to make a decoction of it and pour it into molds. You need to wipe your face with the resulting cubes every day;
- If blackheads are bothering you, then it’s worth doing decoction of chamomile and sage. You need to wipe your face with it three times a day until the tone becomes more even;
- The most effective remedy is face mask, it is made from blue clay, diluted in a small amount of water;
- You can also make a mask from fresh cucumber pulp. This natural mask will not only help cure acne, but will also noticeably soften the skin.
Folk remedies are practically harmless; they will only be so if the person does not have allergies.
Professional acne treatments
It is best to contact an experienced cosmetologist to treat acne; only he will be able to determine the cause and extent of the problem and prescribe an effective way to eliminate them.
There are several professional treatment methods:
- Cosmetic method (masks, peelings or medical gels) are selected strictly by cosmetologists depending on skin type;
- Phototherapy. Treatment is carried out with direct streams of light. One procedure lasts about 25 minutes, the number depends on the scale of the problem. During the treatment process, light penetrates the skin and disinfects it from hated bacteria. In this way you can cure external and internal acne;
- Laser therapy. This is a more local type of treatment. With its help you can eliminate even the deepest pimples. After just one procedure, sebum production is reduced several times and the protein shell of bacteria is destroyed. Typically, cosmetologists offer their patients a set of procedures (laser and peeling). For complete treatment you will need to do 15 – 25 sessions;
- Chemical and mechanical peeling. Its composition is selected depending on the type of acne and skin type. A special massage mechanism allows the components to penetrate deep into the pores, as a result of which acne dries out and goes away several times faster. For complete recovery, it is enough to do 20 procedures of 30 minutes each;
- Mesotherapy. This method is based on injection treatment and is one of the most effective. Just 10 procedures are enough to completely even out your skin tone.
Recommendations for acne treatment, diet
Acne can be cured without any remedies at all if you adhere to proper nutrition.
- You need to eat 4 to 6 times a day, at intervals of 2-3 hours. Serving size should not exceed 400 grams;
- Not recommended for use fatty foods, preserves, sweets, oil and fast food;
- You need to drink as much water as possible. The norm should be 2-3 liters of water per day. In this case, the sebaceous glands will produce less, and pimples will begin to dry out and fall off;
- You should eat as much fresh food as possible (add raw vegetables, fruits and herbs to the diet);
- It is necessary to take care of your skin and protect it from harmful factors (frequent use of foundation, spending a long time in the cold and under the open rays of the sun).
All these methods are also a good preventive measure. If you always stick to this diet, then problems associated with acne will not appear.
Various defects occur on the skin quite often. Causes of acne on cheeks can vary from poor nutrition to serious skin diseases. To determine exactly what causes acne, you should consult a doctor - a specialist will help you accurately determine the cause and choose the most effective treatment method.
Pimples on the cheeks in women
In women, acne is associated with changes in hormonal levels, as well as deterioration of the immune system. Cyclic fluctuations in female hormonal levels create conditions for constant changes in the skin. If any deviations from the norm occur in these fluctuations, the woman experiences various disorders, and acne is far from the most severe among them, but the most noticeable. Especially often, an excess of male hormones in women manifests itself in this way.
Impaired immunity, including local (on the skin), is also associated with the influence of sex hormones - among women immunity is lower, especially in the second phase of the menstrual cycle. For this reason, if a woman does not carefully monitor her health and take care of her skin, acne occurs.
Pimples on cheeks before menstruation
This is one of the types of acne characteristic of women. Acne before menstruation occurs if a woman’s immunity at this moment decreases, which happens with an excess of second-phase hormones or a lack of estrogen. Pimples appear 3-4 days before menstruation, being one of the most reliable signs of impending menstruation.
Some women, accustomed to regular rashes on the face before menstruation, become very worried when they do not notice pimples on time.
The absence of the usual acne rashes can be the first sign of pregnancy for some.
Pimples on the cheeks in men
In men, acne may also appear due to hormonal imbalances, and rashes can indicate either an excess or a lack of sex hormones in the patient. In the same way, an excess of adrenal hormones can manifest itself - Itsenko-Cushing syndrome, which is characterized by redistribution of adipose tissue, changes in complexion, increased sweating and fatigue.
There is also a more common reason for the appearance of defects on the skin of representatives of the stronger sex - insufficient facial care. Many men do not know how to do this or consider cleansing and moisturizing procedures to be an exclusively female prerogative - and do not want to “become effeminate.” This behavior contributes to the appearance of inflammatory foci on the face - and you must agree, acne on the face is not the best sign of masculinity.
Acne on the cheeks of a teenager
This is a very common problem that almost all teenagers face, regardless of gender. The onset of puberty, hormonal changes in the body and changes in immunity have clearly visible external manifestations. Teenage acne can last from several months to 2-3 years. Longer course of acne in a teenager suggests that its causes are more serious than ordinary changes in hormonal levels.
If juvenile acne does not respond to conventional home remedies, you should consult a dermatologist, and possibly an endocrinologist. Only a specialist will find out the true cause of acne on a teenager’s cheeks and prescribe adequate treatment.
Pimple on the cheek of a baby
Small white bumps (miles) are normal in newborns. Their appearance is due to the fact that the newborn’s sebaceous glands do not yet perform their function well enough, so their ducts are often clogged. Also, the amount of acne is influenced by the characteristics of maternal hormones - the baby is born with a high level of maternal hormones in the blood. During the first few days, this level will stabilize, but some unpleasant reactions are possible.
When you see small white heads on a baby's tender cheeks, don't panic. Compliance with basic hygiene standards will help to avoid complications, and pimples will go away on their own - no need to specially squeeze them out, lubricate them with brilliant green or iodine. Tell your pediatrician about the problem - he will help you choose the best treatment.
Diagnosis of the causes of rashes on the cheeks
In order to determine the causes of the rash, a lengthy diagnostic procedure is sometimes required. The patient must undergo a general and biochemical blood test, and, if necessary, blood for hormones. The functions of the gastrointestinal tract and the patient’s dietary habits are also examined in detail.
Food causes of rashes
Unhealthy eating habits are one of the common causes of acne. Facial skin defects appear when food supplies excess amounts of animal fats and insufficient amounts of vitamins A and E. Rashes can also be one of the manifestations of product intolerance (mild forms of allergies). Dealing with “food” rashes is quite easy - you need to adjust your diet so that all the necessary substances enter the body.
Intestinal diseases are the most common cause of rashes in the cheek area
Unlike the previous group, these reasons are more serious and difficult to eliminate. In diseases of the small intestine, which are collectively called malabsorption syndrome, the absorption of nutrients is impaired. This leads to the patient's body lacking important products, despite the fact that they are supplied in sufficient quantities with food.
Colon diseases are accompanied by abundant formation of gases and toxins and their absorption into the blood. This leads to chronic intoxication. Both lead to a deterioration in appearance, in particular to various rashes in the cheek area.
Small red pimples on cheeks
This type of defect most often occurs due to hormonal imbalances, but can also occur in other pathologies - nervous and allergic diseases. The appearance of small red rashes should alert the patient, and if they do not go away on their own within a week, much less new pimples appear, you should consult a doctor.
Treatment of such pathology at home It is quite easy to do - the provoking factor should be identified and eliminated, sometimes you can do this yourself. Usually the trigger for acne is something new - a cosmetic product, a food product. Eliminate it and you can enjoy smooth skin again.
Large subcutaneous internal pimple on the cheek
Internal acne is a type of comedones that occur when the ducts of the sebaceous glands are deeply blocked. In this case, the sebaceous plug is located deep under the skin; a small elevation is visible on the surface, which is not painful when touched, but looks ugly.
The formation of large subcutaneous pimples is associated with disruption of the sebaceous glands, deficiency of essential vitamins, and too thick epidermis. A positive feature is that such comedones rarely become inflamed; if you do not touch them, they go away on their own.
White pimples on cheeks
White pimples are the initial stage of acne. These are formations on the epidermis of a relatively small size, not painful, not itchy. They are mainly an aesthetic problem, especially if there are many of them. They occur mainly due to poor nutrition. With good skin care, they pass quickly; no serious pathologies arise at this stage.
Purulent pimple on the cheek
This is a more serious variant of the disease. It is formed when a bacterial infection joins the blockage of the sebaceous ducts. Active inflammation causes pain, redness of the skin, itching and other symptoms. In addition to an aesthetic defect, such pimples pose a threat to patients with weakened immune systems - they are a constant source of infection.
Such itchy pimples can occur due to hormonal imbalances, skin diseases, and in pregnant women. Another problem is that such purulent pimples often leave pronounced marks in the form of depressions on the skin, red spots, which are then difficult to get rid of.
Why don't pimples on my cheeks go away?
The simplest explanation for why this happens is that the causes of acne have not been eliminated. Until the diagnosis is carried out properly, rashes can appear regularly, recover after each course of treatment and recur. There is only one way to combat this phenomenon - careful diagnosis and elimination of the causes of acne.
The reason for acne that does not go away for a long time on the chin, cheeks and forehead may be:
- Chronic diseases of the digestive tract;
- Chronic hormonal pathologies, taking hormonal medications;
- Diabetes.
Improper facial care also contributes to relapses.
How to get rid of acne on the cheeks: treatment
The approach to treatment must be comprehensive - only in this case is it possible to completely eliminate skin pathologies, cleanse and restore it. Since a combination of several factors most often plays a role, one-sided treatment can only give a temporary effect.
Medications for acne on the cheeks
Drugs for the treatment of acne are quite varied. The most frequently prescribed groups of drugs:
- Intestinal sorbents (activated carbon, smecta);
- Enzyme preparations - both of these groups improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients;
- Vitamin complexes containing retinol and tocopherol;
- Antibiotics – reduce the activity of bacteria on the skin, prescribed for severe cases;
- Antihistamines (anti-allergy) medications to reduce itching.
The selection of the right medicine is carried out by the doctor, this is done individually, often the specialist has to go by trial and error.
Masks for acne on cheeks
Skin care plays an important role in the treatment of acne. Often, an imbalance and the appearance of rashes occur precisely because the face is not sufficiently hydrated, but at the same time it is exposed to a huge number of unfavorable factors.
The advantages of masks are that they give a fairly quick and strong effect. But using them requires time. The following masks are effective in fighting acne:
- Cleansing – eliminate excess sebum, remove “plugs” from clogged sebaceous ducts;
- Moisturizing – maintain normal skin moisture, which reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands;
- Nutritious - necessary for the same purpose;
- Anti-inflammatory – reduce the activity of the inflammatory process;
- Antiseptic – suppress the activity of pathogenic microorganisms.
Masks should be applied to the skin and washed off after a certain time with water without soap. Then a moisturizing or nourishing cream is applied to the face.
Folk remedies for acne on the cheeks
Traditional medicine offers many options for combating acne. In particular, washing with infusions of chamomile, calendula, sage and yarrow can reduce the activity of the inflammatory process and pathogens. Such means are often used in children and teenagers, hoping for their safety. It is important to make sure that the patient is not allergic to the medicinal plant.
Many popular folk recipes are based on the use of alcohol and alcohol tinctures. This is the wrong method of treatment - there is a risk of drying out the skin, causing even greater activity of the sebaceous glands. In this case, recipes that involve the use of oils - sea buckthorn or sunflower - are much more useful. You can add essential oils of eucalyptus, calendula or marigold to them, but in small quantities. To avoid causing chemical burns. Essential oils have the ability to photosensitize* the skin, so they must be applied at least an hour before going outside.

A few simple care rules that will help reduce the number of acne:
- You need to wash your face twice a day – morning and evening – using special anti-acne products;
- After washing, the skin should be treated with an antiseptic - chlorhexidine or miramistin;
- You can and should use moisturizing and nourishing creams and masks;
