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.

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.

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.
Care instructions

If you know why acne appeared on the face, what organs are responsible for skin pathologies, you can choose effective treatment or an appropriate diet.
Changes in facial skin
Pimples are small inflamed bumps, they are divided into several types, and are called “rashes” in medical terminology:
- Acne or acne is the appearance of inflammation as a result of disruption of the sebaceous glands and inflammatory processes in their excretory ducts. Appears in the form of black dots, which due to inflammation turn into red inflamed tubercles.
- Furunculosis is the appearance of bumps on the face as a result of inflammation of the glands responsible for sweating. They are of impressive size, have a rod inside, and when pressed, purulent discharge appears. Typically such rashes occur on the forehead, temples and ears.
- Comedones are inflammations resulting from blockage of the sebaceous glands. Can be open or closed. They mainly arise due to diseases of the pancreas and metabolic disorders in the body.
- Rosacea (rosacea) is a skin disease associated with disruption of the endocrine system. A disease of the central nervous system can also be suspected. This pathology is not related to acne, although its name suggests otherwise. This is a disease of the blood vessels. Often appears during menopause in women.
Determining the type of inflamed bumps on the body plays an important role for further diagnosis and treatment. In some people, they may be present in several facial areas or be of different types.
Causes by zone
Let's look at acne on the face, the causes by zone. Inflamed bumps appear on the face and neck in different places. They do not occur by chance, but rashes occur in certain places on the face.
Doctors noted this and divided the face into certain zones that are associated with one or another organ:
- Forehead – indigestion and urinary tract problems.
- Nose – disruption of the gastrointestinal tract, heart and vascular disease (myocardial infarction, vascular atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation).
- Cheeks – stomach diseases and liver disorders (UC, flatulence).
- Cheekbones – problems with the respiratory system (COPD, pulmonary tuberculosis).
- The brow area is a heart problem.
- Whiskey – kidney and gall bladder diseases (nephroptosis, renal colic).
- Nasolabial triangle – hormonal changes, oral cavity problems, dental problems.
- Chin – diseases of the genitourinary system and inflammatory processes in the pelvic organs.
- Neck – poisoning of the body with various toxins.
The entire state of the internal organs is reflected on the skin of a person’s face and neck.
Internal diseases seem to be projected onto certain parts of the body. In modern medicine, a doctor can easily predict the development of a disease based on the appearance of the patient’s body.
If acne appears on the temples
The appearance of inflamed tubercles on the temples indicates a developing gallbladder disease; it could be cholecystitis or cholelithiasis. You should also pay attention to the condition of the lymph nodes.
Not the last reason for such rashes is hypovitaminosis. It is necessary to add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Limit consumption of fatty and spicy foods.
Face masks made from a paste of fresh berries, fruits and vegetables are very useful. Several times a day, wipe your face with herbal decoctions: chamomile, calendula. An infusion of linden flowers is very useful.
You can drink it and use it as a lotion.
What do pimples on the forehead mean?
The reason lies in inflammatory processes of the intestines - ulcerative colitis, enterocolitis. Also, acne can appear on the forehead due to dysfunction and infectious diseases of the liver.
A decrease in the tone of the heart muscle and impaired blood circulation in the tissues can also affect the condition of the skin in this area.
Periodically take absorbents to remove toxins from the body. Limit consumption of meat, spicy and salty foods. Control the balance of vitamins such as: A, C, E, B vitamins.
Maintain hygiene of the head and hair, as well as hats. Use hypoallergenic detergents (shampoo, conditioner, soap).
Causes of acne on the cheeks
The cheek area is responsible for many organs. Inflammation of the stomach will be reflected in the form of rashes on the cheeks. Allergic reaction to foods or drinks. Pathology of the respiratory system, especially the lungs.
Disruption of the small intestine and mucosal glands.
If the rash appears for a short time, the cause may be a cold or respiratory illness. Failure to maintain facial skin hygiene also causes inflammation on the body. With diabetes or excessive consumption of sweets, inflamed tubercles may also appear.
Proper nutrition is recommended: give up foods that cause allergies, give up sweets and starchy foods. Maintain facial hygiene, change bedding more often and periodically wipe the phone with an alcohol solution for disinfection. Avoid stressful situations, follow a rest and sleep schedule.
Acne on the chin
Usually appear due to hormonal changes. In boys and girls during puberty. In women - before menstruation or when taking hormonal contraceptives. Such rashes are usually temporary, they go away fairly quickly or appear periodically.
The cause may also be inflammation of the pelvic organs, as well as diseases of the genitourinary system.
The endocrine system can signal in this way. Pimples appear under the chin or on the neck mainly due to poisoning of the body with toxins (alcohol, nicotine, drugs) and poor diet.
It is necessary to visit an endocrinologist, and, if necessary, a gynecologist. It is recommended to eat red fish, as they have the highest content of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Drink green tea with mint, it also regulates hormonal metabolism.
Under the eyes
Indicate a disruption of the adrenal glands, as well as kidney problems. Kidney failure and pyelonephritis are also accompanied by edema. You should pay attention to the blood vessels, oxygen starvation is obvious.
What can be done
First of all, you need to contact a cosmetologist; after examination, depending on the affected area, the doctor will recommend a specialist.
You can change your diet and lifestyle on your own. You need to prohibit yourself from eating:
- carbonated drinks, especially cola;
- various smoked products (sausage, meat, poultry, fish, cheese);
- canned food, mayonnaise, sauces;
- coffee, cocoa;
- bread and baked goods;
- sweets and chocolate.
Add to the daily menu: fresh herbs, porridge from various cereals, grain bread and fruits. It is advisable to limit protein intake; not all people break it down and benefit the body.
Stop smoking and drinking alcohol; these bad habits impair blood circulation, overload the liver, pancreas and kidneys, which contributes to the appearance of inflamed tubercles.
Try to lead a healthy lifestyle, be sure to take many hours of walks in the fresh air. Forbid yourself from long gatherings, this has a bad effect on the functioning of the intestines, causes constipation and affects the condition of the skin.
It is impossible to get rid of acne only by changing your diet; all measures must be comprehensive. It is necessary to maintain hygiene, use cosmetics correctly for the face and neck, periodically visit a cosmetologist and, if necessary, a dermatologist.
Cosmetologists recommend using anti-inflammatory and antibacterial facial products (lotions, gels). If necessary, hormonal agents are used to control steroid levels. Vitamin preparations are also added to improve skin balance and strengthen the immune system.
Acne treatment
In modern cosmetology and medicine, there are many ways to treat acne.
Cosmetics, medications, hormonal preparations, as well as medications aimed at treating the underlying disease that caused acne are used in complex therapy.
It is recommended to use salicylic ointment; it has an anti-inflammatory, antiviral effect, and also dries out pimples, which helps them disappear. The ointment is applied carefully, only to acne, so as not to affect healthy areas of the skin.
If boils appear, you can use Vishnevsky ointment to clean the ducts of the sebaceous glands from pus. The ointment is applied for several hours, covered with a sterile gauze pad. Then it is removed along with the pus that has come out of the duct.
But, there are cases when no methods help, then doctors resort to blood transfusions (autohemotherapy). The effect is achieved by influencing the immune system.
Almost always this procedure gives a positive result. Renewing the blood strengthens the immune system, fights various infections, removes toxins and bacteria. The most important thing is that when a blood transfusion occurs, the body begins to fight microbes anew, and all metabolic processes are activated.
