Hormone Dependent Dermatitis Treatment

  Hormonal dermatitis, also known as hormone-dependent dermatitis, is a dermatitis caused by long-term and repeated inappropriate topical hormone application, which mainly occurs on the face.  Although hormones have anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects, long-term inappropriate application has inflammatory effects. In principle, the treatment should avoid skin irritation, gradually withdraw topical hormones and replace them with other non-hormonal drugs, and take appropriate oral antihistamines or non-specific anti-allergic drugs such as intravenous calcium gluconate and high doses of vitamin C and sodium thiosulfate.  In the acute stage, cold and wet compresses of saline can be used, and in chronic cases, tacrolimus, and various moisturizers can be used. For patients with heavy rash or long duration and poor treatment effect, internal small doses of hormones can also be chosen to maintain gradual reduction of treatment.
