Acne Blues

Hello everyone.  So my face is starting to breakout. I think it is all those Subway sandwiches I have eaten lately.  I noticed that I am breaking out mainly on my forehead and side of my chin.

I remember reading something about acne and face mapping.  I decided to give it a look to understand why the sudden breakout.  Here is what I found:

Forehead: Bladder & Digestive System — Improve your diet and drink more water.

Between Eyebrows: Liver — Try cutting back on alcohol, heavy food or dairy. This area can also indicate a food allergy.

Side of face near ears:  Kidneys — Make sure you’re keeping yourself hydrated with water and cut back on liquids that dehydrate you. This means nix the soda, coffee and/or alcohol.

Cheek Bones: Respiratory system — Those who smoke or have allergies tend to have acne here.

Sides of Eyes: Kidneys — Dark circles are usually a result of dehydration. Drink up!

Nose: Heart — Check your blood pressure and make sure you’re not using makeup that irritates your skin.

Chin: Stomach — Consider a detox or adding more fiber to your diet to help with digestion.

Sides of Chin: Hormones — Stress and hormonal changes can sometimes be alleviated with more water and a few extra servings of dark, leafy greens but if breakouts in this area persistent, make an appointment with your doctor to look into a possible hormonal imbalance. Additionally, breakouts in this area also indicate when you are ovulating (and which side).

Neck:  Illness — Can be a sign of your body fighting bacteria to avoid illness. Take a breather and drink plenty of fluids.

Now, just because you are breaking out does not mean you have one of the reasons above. Always check with a doctor.

I just find it interesting that this has come on since eating the same thing six days in a row.  I do think my ovulation is playing a big part in some of this, but I have been on "that time of the month" for four weeks straight.  No surprise since I haven't had it for months.

Well, as always I am not only giving you health information but way too much info on me, lol.
