If there are any flaws on the skin, this is a signal of problems in the body. In Chinese medicine there is information about the relationship between acne on the neck and face and the condition of the organs. European doctors confirm the connection between acne and the state of the endocrine system, gastrointestinal tract, and immune problems. The occurrence of redness is not a random occurrence. Let's find out the causes of acne in various areas of the face.
Mirror of body and soul
Chinese doctors claim that there is a relationship between different parts of the face and certain internal organs. In addition, areas of the body store certain information about the energetic and physical state of the human body. The pattern of acne appearing on the face is a direct reflection of health.
Ancient Chinese ideas about the gall bladder, liver, heart, and lungs differ from modern anatomical data. But the connection between appearance and internal diseases has been confirmed by scientific research.
Causes of skin rashes
Common causes of acne on the face are diseases of the internal organs. There is a certain scheme for their location. For each area, one or more problematic internal organs are identified. In order to assess the significance of acne on the face, the location zones are divided into 9 positions.
Pimples above the eyebrows (on the forehead)
Any pimple on the forehead indicates serious problems with the digestive system. The forehead area is considered the T-zone, which contains the maximum number of sweat and sebaceous glands. As a result of the active production of subcutaneous fat, an unnatural shine appears in the frontal area. In addition, there is a serious threat of acne and pimples.
The appearance of pimples above the eyebrows is a signal of problems in the functioning of the gallbladder and pancreas. Also among the reasons for this phenomenon is the condition of certain parts of the intestine. Most often, pimples occur in people suffering from gallstone disease and dysbacteriosis.
Depending on the location of the redness, one can also guess the cause of the problem. When acne is located near the hair, there is a high probability of disruption of the gallbladder. If the rash appears near the eyebrows, intestinal irritation occurs and it cannot cope with the functions assigned to it.
Any redness on the forehead is a signal of serious nutritional problems. Acne occurs when you eat unhealthy, processed foods. Also, a similar phenomenon is promoted by the abuse of sweet, fatty foods. Drink carbonated drinks and you will also get pimples on your face. The reasons for their appearance may differ by zone, but not significantly. Acne can be caused by taking medications: antibiotics, vitamins, hormonal drugs. Toxins that the intestines could not cope with try to escape through the skin.
Rash between eyebrows
If redness or rash appears in the eyebrow area, this indicates problems with the liver. The reasons for the loss of liver functionality may be: alcohol, fatty foods, dairy products. It is advisable to give up protein foods for a while and remove lactic acid products from your diet. Physical exercise and healthy sleep help eliminate acne on the face. The causes by zone, treatment of the rash (methods) should be determined by a professional dermatologist. Self-medication will only worsen the problem and cause serious health problems.
Around eyes
Any kind of rash in the eye area, the appearance of dark circles under the eyes indicate kidney disease, as well as dehydration. If you find acne on your face, the doctor must determine the causes by zone and choose a course of treatment (prevention), taking into account the results of clinical tests and the general condition of the patient. To prevent rashes around the eyes, you need to drink enough fluids.
On the nose
There is no clear answer to the question about the prerequisites for such a phenomenon as acne on the face. The causes of the rash may vary by region. Most often, pimples appear in this area due to enlarged nasal pores that have increased fat content. The nose is mostly open, and therefore dust and organic pollutants accumulate on its surface. Those people who constantly touch their nose with dirty hands clog their pores. As a result, red spots and black dots appear on the nose. Due to hormonal imbalance, acne also appears on the face. Their number may vary by zone. Hormonal problems are mainly characteristic of adolescents.
A rash on the nose may be a sign of heart problems. Having seen redness on the nose, you need to pay attention to blood pressure, assess the quantitative content of vitamin B in the body. It is advisable to check your cholesterol level, give up “bad” fats for a while, and include flaxseed oil, fish, and avocado in your food. Girls and women have their own problems, which cause acne to appear on the face in zones. The reasons lie in poor quality skin cleansing after makeup and the use of low-quality cosmetics.
On the ears
Why do acne appear on the face? By zone, the reasons are almost the same: diseases of internal organs, unhealthy diet, disruption of the daily routine. Redness and rash on the ears occurs due to kidney disease. To eliminate acne, you need to drink purified mineral water, give up strong coffee, carbonated drinks, and strong alcoholic drinks.
On the cheeks
If a rash appears in this area, there are serious problems with the respiratory system. This phenomenon is mainly typical for allergy sufferers and smokers. Acne on the cheeks and when the body overheats are also possible. To eliminate redness, it is advisable to use refrigerated foods. It is also important to reduce the consumption of sweet foods and increase the duration of walks in the fresh air. Dermatologists advise not to eat foods that create an acidic environment: caffeine, sweets, protein products. They need to be replaced with vegetables and fruits.
On the lips
If pimples appear around the lips, the body is in a stressful situation, or serious hormonal changes have occurred. A full eight-hour sleep, green vegetables, and a sufficient amount of regular drinking water are suitable as a preventive measure. As a result of clinical studies, a connection has been confirmed between acne in the mouth and disorders of the digestive system: loose stools, constipation, intestinal colic.
On the chin
The causes of rash and redness on the chin are the functioning of the endocrine system, as well as a malfunction of the digestive tract. If acne appears on the face, the causes by zone can only be determined after a full clinical study. For prevention, you can include foods rich in fiber in your diet. They will help remove harmful toxins from the body and restore the functioning of the digestive system.
Pimples in the chin area can be a consequence of increased levels of male sex hormones in the female body. Girls and women who find a rash on their chin should consult a gynecologist. Inflammation can be a consequence of hypothermia, decreased immunity, or an infectious disease. If you struggle with acne for a long period of time to no avail, you should consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist.

Among the folk remedies that help combat numerous redness on the skin, we note the juice of lemon, celandine, and lemon. Oatmeal and yeast masks remove bacteria from the skin and expand pores.

Localization of rashes
Pimples, blackheads or acne are pinpoint inflamed areas of the skin that appear in the form of small painful bumps. The location of acne on the face and diseases of the internal organs are directly related.
Acne can be not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body. It is necessary to distinguish between the nature of the rashes: they can be inflammatory or non-inflammatory in nature. Inflamed pimples are distinguished by the content of purulent discharge and are accompanied by redness of the skin.
Reasons for appearance
A rash appears on the face if there are the following problems:
Increased sebum production, oily skin.- Hormonal imbalance (increased levels of the androgen hormone are observed most often in adolescence).
- Hyperkeratosis is a pathological condition of the skin, accompanied by a high rate of cell division and disruption of the desquamation process.
- Rashes as an allergic skin reaction.
- Malfunctions of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Avitaminosis.
- Diseases of the endocrine system.
- Poor environmental conditions.
- Incorrectly selected skin care complex.
- Poor quality cosmetics.
Rashes on the face have causes according to zones. The human face is visually divided into certain areas, each of which is an area of projection of the human internal organs. The appearance of acne in a particular area may indicate possible disturbances in the functioning of the internal organs responsible for this area. Cosmetic procedures can only temporarily reduce the manifestation of irritation. However, over time the problem will return.
A dermatologist, based on the area where acne is localized, can easily determine its cause. In such cases, consulting a specialist may not be enough. Other specialists - a urologist, endocrinologist, therapist or gastroenterologist - will help solve the problem.
Types of acne
By their nature, acne is divided into the following types:
comedones - black or white dots;- papules or nodules - formations that rise slightly above the surface of the skin and have no internal contents;
- pustules - blistering formations with purulent contents;
- red inflammation;
- spider veins;
- ulcers.
Most people try to get rid of acne by squeezing. This method is dangerous. Possible complications:
- infection, which can cause severe inflammation;
- formation of pigmentation on the face;
- the appearance of cicatricial formations and scars.
Before starting treatment, it is necessary to find out the causes of dermatological defects. Pimples are located in certain areas. An incorrect diagnosis can not only delay treatment for a long time, but also lead to worsening.
Rashes occur when there is a malfunction of the lungs, heart, urinary organs, digestive system and intestines. Skin inflammatory processes with the formation of a rash can be triggered by the presence of helminthiasis or demodicosis. If parasites are detected, it is necessary to approach treatment comprehensively.
Taking antiparasitic drugs can be accompanied by severe intoxication of the body, which occurs when helminths die. When getting rid of toxic damage use various sorbent preparations. They effectively cleanse the body of waste products of worms in a short time.
T-zone - localization of acne
By analyzing a map of facial acne, you can determine what they mean. The frontal part is part of the T-zone, which covers the forehead, entire nose and chin. Rashes localized in this area are often associated with hormones. This area has a large number of sebaceous canals, which become clogged very quickly, so acne often occurs there. Hormonal imbalance provokes increased activity of the sebaceous glands. When there is a lot of sebum and the sebaceous canal becomes clogged, acne occurs.
Rash on forehead
Forehead area has many points that project the work of different body systems. Localization of rashes on this area of the face indicates the following problems:
pimples between the eyebrows indicate a malfunction of the liver;- heart failure is manifested by a rash in the eyebrow area;
- rectum and sigmoid colon - rashes on the left forehead;
- the condition of the small intestine is reflected in the central part of the forehead;
- the gallbladder is projected in the temporal region;
- appendicitis is associated with the right frontal lobe;
- Problems of the genitourinary system can be identified by the presence of rashes along the hairline.
Chin area
The first signal of a weakened immune system may be acne on the chin. They can serve as a signal about problems in the functioning of the body’s endocrine and digestive systems. The appearance of a pimple on the chin in women is especially important. This may indicate disorders or inflammatory processes in the genital organs. Inflammation is often caused byI have developed polycystic ovary syndrome or menstrual irregularities. In men, rashes in the chin area may indicate prostate disease.
Abuse of strong drinks, as well as strong tea and coffee with constant nervous tension is characterized by the appearance of a rash in the chin area.
Acne on nose
Malfunction of the endocrine system may manifest itself as inflamed pimples on the nose. This may be due to weakness of the heart muscle or general immune exhaustion. An active lifestyle and blood pressure control will help. The bridge of the nose projects the condition of the liver. To prevent the appearance of rashes, due attention should be paid to daily hygiene procedures.
Area around the lips
Patients with digestive tract disorders often experience rashes around the lips. Improvements come with changing your diet. Dishes should be made from foods containing large amounts of fiber, fresh vegetables and fruits. Frequent overload of the nervous system is also accompanied by a rash in the mouth area.
Projection of inflammation on the cheeks
What do pimples on the face mean? The pattern of location in the cheek area can also indicate the presence of intestinal dysbiosis. Localization zone: cheekbones. The rashes in such cases are large and quite painful. They arise for the following reasons:
The appearance of inflamed pimples in the central part of the cheeks indicates problems with the respiratory system. Lung diseases often occur in smokers. Pimples on the cheeks can appear after prolonged exposure to the cold and hypothermia.- Acne on the cheeks can be associated with the use of low-quality cosmetics.
- Breast diseases in women can also be provoked in the cheek area. The rashes will be large, painful, with purulent contents. They do not heal for a long time and can leave behind cosmetic defects in the form of scars or spots.
- Rashes on the cheeks may be a consequence of the activity of subcutaneous mites (demodex). Accompanied by the appearance of red spots and constant itching. The rash may spread to other areas of the body. In such cases, complex treatment is necessary.
Pimples on temples
The temporal region rarely suffers from acne. If the problem does arise, it is recommended to pay special attention to the functioning of the gallbladder. This area may suffer from inflammation during periods of hormonal stress in the body (childbirth, adolescence, hormonal therapy). Treatment consists of taking multivitamin complexes and following a certain diet that normalizes the process of bile production.
Eye area
Dermatological defects in the eye area can be of various types - swelling, rash, dark circles, redness. All of them indicate the occurrence of an inflammatory process in the urinary system - the kidneys and adrenal glands. The appearance of such symptoms may indicate dehydration. As therapeutic and preventive measures, it is necessary to adhere to a sleep and rest schedule and drink plenty of water.
Cosmetics have a drying effect on the skin around the eyes. This can cause the early appearance of fine wrinkles (“crow’s feet”).
Regardless of the location of acne, treatment should be approached comprehensively. Problems of internal organs should be dealt with by specialists. A dermatologist deals with the condition of the skin. Cosmetic procedures bring only a temporary effect, but do not solve the problem.
Mandatory products for the care of inflamed skin should be antiseptic drugs. These can be herbal tinctures with alcohol or salicylic alcohol solution.

Acne can appear at any time, even the most inopportune moment, but people do not think about the reasons for its appearance. Acne is the first bell signaling a malfunction in the body. If functionality is impaired, then the problem should be looked for in your body, otherwise acne, papules, pustules, small black spots and similar rashes will constantly bother you.
There is a diagram that can help you recognize which internal organ is responsible for the appearance of acne in a certain part of the face. Why does acne appear, what problem is hidden behind its appearance, how to treat the disease and what measures need to be taken to get rid of acne forever?
What is a “pimple map”
Chinese doctors are convinced that there is a parallel between organs and facial rashes. Depending on what part of the face the pimple appears on, you can tell which organ is not functioning properly. The face is the keeper of several states at once - energetic, psychological and physical. When acne appears, you should pay more attention to the health of your internal organs.
Qualified doctors consider the relationship to be a scientifically proven fact, but the essence of this technique changes slightly. The fact is that the skin, according to doctors, is one large and important organ that protects the insides from aggressive environmental influences.
The skin is considered a constant participant in interaction with the outside world, so it is the first to suffer from negative consequences. There are many sebaceous hair follicles on the skin. If they function correctly, sebum is produced, which protects the epidermis from drying out and maintains elasticity. This creates a protective barrier. When sebum production is impaired, the skin becomes dry or oily. If the sebaceous duct becomes clogged with a collagen plug (blackhead), you will get a pimple. Since the lard has no outlet, the process of decay begins, creating propionobacteria.
The “Acne Map” helps to see the connection between diseases of the internal system and the location of acne on the face. Based on the diagram, you can divide the face into 3 parts, which are responsible for their own group of organs. To understand which organ is functioning poorly, it is enough to have knowledge of which part of the face is responsible for it.
The face is conventionally divided into 14 zones, some of which are asymmetrical (temples, cheeks). Leave 9 main parts:
- frontal lobe;
- Auricle;
- cheeks;
- wings of the nose, middle;
- chin;
- bridge of the nose;
- near the eyes;
- near lips;
- neck.
Decoding
The Acne Map allows you to understand the meaning of acne and its formulation. All kinds of rashes, including acne in the neck area, indicate malfunctions in the internal system of the body.
Forehead area
Diseases of the stomach and nearby organs responsible for processing food are accompanied by rashes on the forehead. When propionobacteria spread, new acne appears, and the skin acquires an unhealthy shine. If acne does not appear and the oily skin does not disappear, then it is better to go check the gastrointestinal tract, because oily skin is directly related to malfunctions of the digestive system.
When acne on the forehead appears exactly above the eyebrow, the problem may be hidden in the gallbladder or pancreas. It is unlikely that there was a malfunction in the intestines. There may be dysbiosis, enteritis, colitis, flatulence. Inflammation of the mucous membrane that envelops the intestines or an imbalance of its microflora are serious diseases.
If acne is observed on the forehead, along the hairline, then the patient suffers from intestinal irritation. This occurs due to an unbalanced diet, excessive consumption of salty, sour, sweet, fried or fatty foods, alcohol or carbonated drinks. If acne has attacked your temples, then you should think about reducing your medication intake. Temporal rashes may appear due to the consumption of hormonal drugs or antibiotics. Periodic consumption of vitamin complexes can also affect the spread of acne. Diseases of the spleen and lymph flow are less commonly diagnosed.
Pimples on the temples can indicate cardiovascular diseases and disturbances in the production of hormones in the female half of the population. In order for your skin to look healthy, you should refrain from eating foods with a rich taste, balance your diet and eat more plant foods. Bad habits can also become provoking factors, so it is necessary to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Ear area
You can talk about kidney disease if acne appears in the ear area. In appearance, the auricle is very similar to a kidney. With ear pimples, inflammatory diseases occur in the kidneys (pyelonephritis), urination is difficult, and it is possible that there are stones in the kidneys. To eliminate diseases, you should drink at least 2 liters. pure non-carbonated water, completely remove coffee, carbonated and alcohol-containing drinks from the diet.
Cheek area
Pimples in the cheek area appear when problems arise with the bronchi or lungs. Depending on the location of the pimples, you can judge which lung is functioning poorly. If the rash appears on the right cheek, then the problem concerns the right lung, if on the left, then the left. Tracheitis, tuberculosis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma and even pneumonia may be present. Allergy sufferers and smokers are more likely to have a chronic disease. If the patient does not use tobacco and is not allergic, then pimples on the cheeks can be caused by overheating.
If acne appears above the cheekbones, you should take care of the stomach, since it is possible that gastritis (including atrophic), ulcers, and heartburn develop in the body. There are cases when a person suffers from constipation. If acne has formed under the cheekbone, then the disease can affect the oral cavity. Sometimes small red rashes occur - this is a symptom of an unstable mental state, emotional overload. Similar symptoms apply to acne in the cervical area. All patients are recommended to drink at least 2 liters. water per day, eat fresh, refrigerated foods, reduce your intake of sugary foods and increase your time outdoors.
Nose area
There is no clear idea why acne appears on the nose, but there are the most common factors that influence the presence of rashes in this area:
- problems with the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract occur with acne on the upper part of the nose;
- If the tip of your nose is strewn with pimples, then you should look for answers in a reference book with cardiovascular diseases.
When acne appears on the nostrils, you should pay attention to the respiratory system. Diseases associated with the trachea or bronchi are possible.
Reduced blood circulation can also cause acne on the nose. The distinguishing factor is the redness of the tip of the nose and a constant burning sensation. Sometimes nasal acne appears due to hormonal imbalance caused by puberty, premenstrual syndrome, menopause or pregnancy.
The environmental situation in the region of residence plays an important role. The body can react in its own way to emissions and excessive gas pollution. Pimples on the neck and nose can form due to this factor.
It is necessary to take into account that the nose is completely covered with sebaceous hair follicles, which means it is more susceptible to oiliness. External pollutants are often concentrated on the nose. It is advisable to maintain careful hygiene and periodically moisturize your face - this will help protect your skin from harmful factors. Refusing to consume unhealthy fats in favor of healthy ones will also affect your appearance. A balanced diet is always aimed at maintaining health and strengthening the immune system. If pimples often appear on your nose, then it is advisable to monitor your blood pressure for 2 weeks.
The bridge of the nose (the area between the eyebrows)
If you have acne on the bridge of your nose, you should pay attention to the functioning of your liver. You can get hepatosis, hepatitis, or simply get a metabolic disorder. This is the first signal that the liver cannot cope with the food consumed, which means you will have to go on a strict diet, remove alcohol, medications and unhealthy foods from your diet. Such actions will help cleanse the liver, remove toxins and waste from the body, and cleanse the blood. Sleep should be at least 8 hours, and exercise should be repeated regularly!
Eye area
You can pay attention to 2 scenarios - kidney disease or dehydration (lack of water) of the body. To avoid consequences, you need to drink more fluids and spend more time outdoors.
The area around the lips
Pimples near the lips indicate a disruption in the production of hormones. If there is a rash above the upper lip, it can indicate problems of a cardiac nature, and above the lower lip, it can indicate problems of the small intestine. Pimples appear in the corners of the lips with diseases of the duodenum, and a little further along the edges - with diseases of the large intestine.
Touchy people develop acne due to stress and unspoken grievances. With profuse acne on the back, the cause should be sought in the psychological state of the patient. Frequent exposure to conflict situations is reflected in red lips and upper back. Don't be nervous - you should relax and spend more time sleeping.
Chin area
They are responsible for the functioning of the endocrine system; the appearance of acne can also indicate diseases affecting the female reproductive glands. When the level of male hormones in the body increases, rashes may appear. Often the cause is normal menstruation, when male hormones are produced in large quantities.
The neck is an extremely sensitive area, and acne can become inflamed - this indicates a cold. Immunity is reduced, and to get rid of acne on the neck you will have to block the inflammatory process.
