What should I do if my face is on fire?

In the context of Western medicine, there is no concept of fire. The usual term for fire may refer to a variety of infections. The so-called fire face bag may be caused by acne and folliculitis. Topical and oral medications can be given under a doctor’s supervision, which can help reduce the symptoms. 1. Acne: The occurrence of acne is considered to be related to heredity, high sebum production, androgen levels, sebaceous gland duct keratinization, and proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes. It leads to pimples, inflammatory papules and pustules on the face and neck, chest and back, and shoulders. If symptoms are mild, medications such as fusidic acid, adapalene, and retinoic acid may be given. If inflammation is more pronounced, oral minocycline and doxycycline can be given, which have anti-inflammatory and Propionibacterium acnes-killing properties. In severe cases, drugs such as isotretinoin can also be given, which can inhibit the activity of sebaceous glands and reduce sebum secretion. 2. Folliculitis: Folliculitis is associated with bacterial infections, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and can occur on the face, resulting in localized rashes. If the symptoms are mild, it is recommended to use fusidic acid ointment and mupirocin ointment as anti-infection treatment. In severe cases, oral treatment with sensitive antibiotics is needed. It is recommended to go to the dermatology department of the hospital in time for examination and treatment with medication after a clear diagnosis.
