Pimples on the chin: why they appear and how to get rid of them

Chinese sages say that the skin is a reflector of internal health, so you can get rid of all skin problems only through the treatment of the whole organism.

On the face, pimples pop up anywhere, but they transmit completely different signals. According to statistics, acne on the face in women appears more often than in men.
