Penile whiteheads

If you find some whiteheads on the penis, you must take it seriously, because this is probably not a disease caused by the commonly known inflammatory changes, but a bacterial infection, which is more difficult to treat. Some patients have this condition due to endocrine disorders in their bodies, so they need treatment.

The cause of acne is clear, it is caused by anaerobic Propionibacterium acnes infection, but it is a multifactorial disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the face, nose, chest and back belong to the lungs, and this disease is often caused by wind-heat blocking the lung meridian in the skin; or due to excessive consumption of fatty, greasy, and spicy food, spleen and stomach heat, internal dampness and heat, fumigation on the face

It may be due to the youthful body, the blood and qi are strong, the yang heat rises, fighting against the wind and cold, and blocking the skin. In addition, the stimulation of external cosmetics causing the blockage of hair follicles is an important inducement of this disease. Modern medicine believes that this disease is the result of the combined action of multiple factors. First, the endocrine system in the body: mainly the increase in the secretion level of androgen, which promotes the activation and increase of sebum secretion.

1. Endocrine system: Mainly the increase in androgen secretion levels, which promotes the activation and increase of sebum secretion. Women are mainly affected by hormones before menstruation. Before menstruation or during menstruation, some small pimples will appear on the face, which will disappear after menstruation. Emotions such as tension, anxiety and lack of sleep can also lead to endocrine disorders and cause acne.

2. The skin is not thoroughly cleaned: The obstruction of the opening of the hair follicle sebaceous gland is an important factor in the pathogenesis. When the hair follicle is blocked, Propionibacterium acnes multiplies in large numbers, leading to inflammation and forming the most basic damage of acne (acne) - inflammatory papules. Inside the blocked hair follicle sebaceous gland, a large amount of sebum and a large number of pus cells destroy the structure of the hair follicle sebaceous gland, forming nodules, cysts and atheromas, and finally destroying the skin and even forming scars.

3. Excessive keratinization of sebaceous gland ducts.

4. Food climate: Peanuts, chocolate, fried foods, sun exposure, and high temperatures can have a deteriorating effect on some patients. Constipation and gastrointestinal discomfort can also cause abnormal gastrointestinal inflammation.

5. The mind is in a state of tension for a long time, overworked, and lacking sleep and rest for a long time.

6. Chemical drugs: such as oral or topical adrenocortical hormone, certain cosmetics, industrial oils, polychlorinated biphenyls, certain anti-tuberculosis drugs, etc., may cause acne.

7. Genetic factors, etc.
