“Hormone face” is actually the face of hormone-dependent dermatitis, “hormone face” patients more and more in the end what is the reason, let’s explore it together. 1. People lack of knowledge of glucocorticoid topical preparation Especially the lack of sufficient knowledge of the side effects of topical glucocorticoid, some patients in the application of the initial glucocorticoid preparation is not very clear or simply do not know the drugs used are glucocorticoid preparation, some patients even use it as cosmetics. In addition, a part of the patients listen to the drugstore sales staff, friends and relatives or non-skin professional medical advice and misuse or even abuse of glucocorticoid preparations. Glucocorticoids have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects, can quickly eliminate the inflammatory reaction of dermatosis, can reduce congestion and edema, so that the degree of itching can be relieved and subside, so that the clinical signs and symptoms to be rapidly improved, many patients once the skin damage, regardless of the cause of its pathology, regardless of whether it is a contraindication to glucocorticosteroids, will be the application of glucocorticosteroids. 2. Improper selection of drugs Some doctors or patients lack of glucocorticosteroid preparations contained in the drug components and their functional effectiveness of the strength and effectiveness of the duration of understanding, strong glucocorticosteroid topical preparation is most likely to cause skin atrophy and other side effects, such as dermatological king, the main ingredients contain the most potent glucocorticosteroid – clobetasol, a feature that the vast majority of users do not necessarily know. For facial pityriasis versicolor, many people may use mometasone furoate cream, or even skin light, applied to the face for several years, serious hormone-dependent dermatitis and stellate scarring occurred, once discontinued, redness, flaking, oozing, vesicles, scabs, itching, pain, recurrent episodes, very painful. 3. Wrong choice of indications Facial hormone-dependent dermatitis has a large proportion of patients for non-glucocorticoid indications or contraindications and the application of glucocorticoids caused. For seborrhea related diseases, infectious skin diseases, acne, rosacea, simple furuncle, chloasma and so on should not apply glucocorticoid preparations. 4. Too long a course of treatment, the dose of short-term (generally continuous application for more than 1 month) application of glucocorticoid preparations, can cause epidermal atrophy, and can inhibit the synthesis of dermal collagen; long-term topical inhibition of the local immune response function, it is very easy to lead to or induced by skin infections. In addition, long-term large area of external use, drug absorption increases, can cause systemic side effects, such as Cushing’s syndrome-like changes, drug-induced diabetes. 5. improper choice of drug site face, pubic area, skin folds and pediatric skin cuticle thin, tender skin, blood rich, external glucocorticoid is easier to absorb, and thus side effects are more likely to occur to try not to use glucocorticoid preparations appropriate, if you have to choose, it is appropriate to choose a weak glucocorticoid, the course of treatment is generally no more than 2 weeks. 6. Hormone dependence Some patients, despite knowing that glucocorticosteroids can cause adverse reactions, because they have developed a dependence on glucocorticosteroids, continue to use them in order to control rebound. 7. Certain cosmetics or beauty salon products are mixed with glucocorticoids, which are applied for a long time without people’s knowledge.
