What exactly is acne?

Acne is a fairly common dermatological disorder. In most cases, it is observed during puberty, but it can also occur in adults. It can be more or less severe.

There are several causes that can explain an outbreak of acne, particularly on the face: diet, stress, lifestyle, etc. The spots appear following the development of bacteria, excessive sebum secretion, or even due to obstruction of the pilosebaceous follicle.

Face mapping to better understand acne on the face

Have you ever heard of "face mapping"? Also known as "facial mapping," this technique involves dividing the face into several zones: forehead, nose, cheeks, temples, chin, jawbone, and between the eyebrows. Face mapping is inspired by Chinese medicine.

According to this mapping, an area of the face is linked to an organ of the human body. Thus, a pimple visible in a specific location suggests a dysfunction of a specific organ.
