Acne behind the ears may result from excessive sebaceous gland secretion or endocrine imbalances. Additionally, folliculitis can also cause acne-like lesions in this area. In daily life, ensure adequate rest and avoid frequent late-night activities. When necessary, consult a reputable aesthetic medical facility for glycolic acid peels, which help exfoliate aged keratinocytes and enhance skin metabolism.
