What Causes Acne on the Temples?

Hello, In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the location of acne on the skin is believed to reflect imbalances or dysfunctions in specific internal organs. For instance, acne appearing on the temples is generally associated with disturbances in the liver and gallbladder meridians. In such cases, it is advisable to consume foods that help eliminate dampness—such as red beans and coix seed (Job’s tears). Additionally, when cleansing your face daily, use lukewarm water and gentle techniques; avoid vigorous rubbing, which may aggravate acne and increase the risk of infection or inflammation. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
