There are cases where acne repeatedly appears in the exact same areas whenever it occurs. It is said that the location and pattern of acne can vary from person to person, such as frequently getting small bumps on the forehead while large, painful pimples recur around the chin.

Today, I will summarize everything from the causes of acne by area to home care methods for managing recurring acne, as well as dermatological procedures.

1. What are the causes of acne by body part?

It is said that acne can be caused by various factors. The causes of acne by area are reportedly as follows.

 

1) Causes of forehead acne

The forehead, along with the nose, constitutes the T-zone of the face and is an area where sebaceous glands are relatively well-developed. It is said that if you have oily skin with excessive sebum production, you may easily develop whiteheads or inflammatory acne on your forehead. Additionally, acne can be triggered when bangs touch the skin or when hair products get on it.

 

2) Causes of nose acne

The nose is one of the areas of the face where sebum secretion is active. It is said that sebum and dead skin cells tend to accumulate in the pores, which can lead to comedonal acne such as blackheads or whiteheads.

 

3) Causes of cheek acne

Acne can occur on the cheeks even though sebum secretion is relatively lower compared to the forehead or nose. In particular, since the cheeks are an area that frequently comes into contact with various objects in daily life, irritation from pillows, bedding, the habit of touching the face with hands, masks, and makeup products can lead to acne.

 

4) Causes of acne around the mouth

If you experience recurring acne around your mouth, it is a good idea to first check the products that come into direct contact with the skin. It is said that lip balm, lipstick, and shaving products can contribute to acne breakouts.

 

5) Causes of chin acne

Chin acne is often associated with hormonal changes. In women, acne around the chin can develop due to the influence of factors such as the onset and after of menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Additionally, habits such as resting the chin on the hand, shaving, and lack of sleep can also have an impact.

2. Acne Home Care Methods by Area

As we saw above, the causes of acne vary by body part. The home care management methods for acne are said to be as follows.

 

1) Gently wash your face twice a day

If you have oily skin, washing your face multiple times a day or rubbing it vigorously can irritate the skin barrier. Therefore, it is recommended to wash your face gently twice a day using lukewarm water and a mild cleanser.

 

2) Do not squeeze acne with your hands

Squeezing acne with your hands to get rid of it can deepen inflammation, leading to red marks, hyperpigmentation, or scarring. It is especially recommended to avoid forcefully extracting large, painful inflammatory acne.

 

3) Managing items that repeatedly touch the face

It is said that it is important to keep items that come into constant contact with or cause friction to the skin, such as masks, hats, and pillows, clean.

3. Dermatological procedures for acne management by area

1) Basic Care

Basic care is the foundation of acne treatment, and it is said to proceed in the order of extraction, whitening peel, anti-inflammatory injection, and soothing pack.

The Aqua Basic treatment is said to be effective for removing sebum as it adds an Aqua Peel to the basic treatment.

The price for the Maypure Basic treatment is 60,000 won per session, and the price for the Aqua Basic treatment is 80,000 won per session.

 

2) PDT

PDT is said to be a procedure that regulates sebum secretion and improves acne by applying a substance that is absorbed by sebaceous glands and bacteria, allowing it to be absorbed into the skin, and then exposing it to light.

They say the price of Maypure PDT is 80,000 won per session.

4. Q&A

1) Is there a reason why I get acne on only one side of my cheek?

You can check if one cheek is repeatedly coming into contact with or rubbing against a smartphone, pillow, or hand. However, since it is difficult to pinpoint a single specific factor, it is advisable to check the condition of the skin if inflammation persists in the same area.

 

2) Do acne treatment methods differ depending on the area?

Treatment methods may vary depending on the type of acne (comedonal, inflammatory, pustular, etc.), skin condition, and the presence of scars, rather than simply the location of the acne.
