Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Acne on the right cheek may be caused by multiple factors: 1. Endocrine disorders: Frequent late nights, insufficient sleep, excessive mental stress, consuming greasy, spicy, irritating foods and sweets, increased androgen levels during puberty, and hormonal changes before menstruation or during pregnancy can all affect the body's endocrine system, leading to abnormal hormone levels and the occurrence of acne. 2. Poor hygiene: Neglecting local cleanliness can lead to accumulation of oil, skin flakes, and dust, which can easily breed bacteria and result in acne on the right cheek. 3. Improper use of cosmetics: Regular use of powdery, oily, or irritating cosmetics and skincare products, as well as failure to thoroughly remove makeup, can cause local follicle blockage and inflammation, leading to acne on the right cheek. 4. Bacterial infection: Acne is often caused by infection with Propionibacterium acnes. Bacterial growth and proliferation on the right cheek can lead to recurring acne in that area. 5. Other causes: Certain medications, such as corticosteroids and antiepileptic drugs, may also trigger localized acne breakouts, including acne on the right cheek.
