The causes of acne-related itching may involve multiple factors. Excessive secretion of androgens and overactive sebaceous glands may lead to follicular inflammation, resulting in acne accompanied by itching. Allergies are also a common cause; when the skin comes into contact with allergens, it may trigger an inflammatory reaction causing acne and itching. In addition, using unsuitable cosmetics or skincare products, especially those containing irritating or allergenic ingredients, may irritate the skin and lead to acne and itching. Furthermore, endocrine disorders, mental stress, spicy diets, and other factors may also contribute to the development and exacerbation of acne, along with itching symptoms. To alleviate acne-related itching, it is recommended to undergo targeted treatment under a doctor's guidance and pay attention to improving lifestyle and dietary habits.
