What’s wrong with the red, itchy, peeling skin on your face?

The redness, itching and peeling of the face are commonly caused by physiological factors such as improper skin care, and may also be caused by pathological factors such as facial allergic dermatitis and seborrheic dermatitis.
1. Physiological factors: usually do not pay attention to skin care or excessive cleaning of the skin, resulting in dry skin, skin barrier function is damaged, causing redness, itching, peeling and other symptoms. You can apply creams containing ceramides externally and pay attention to skin care and moisturizing.
2. Pathologic factors:
(1) Facial allergic dermatitis: common daily cosmetics or facial cleansers cause allergy, leading to dilation and congestion of small blood vessels in the face. After the inflammation lasts for a period of time, flaking of the face may occur, causing redness, itching, peeling and other symptoms on the face.
(2) Seborrheic dermatitis: it may be related to seborrhea, microorganisms, neurotransmitter abnormality, physical climatic factors, nutritional deficiencies and other roles, and may also be related to Malassezia infection, which is manifested as redness, itching and peeling of the face. Antifungal preparations such as bifonazole cream can be applied externally as prescribed by the doctor, and oral antibiotic treatment, such as tetracycline or erythromycin, can be taken when combined with bacterial infection.
During the treatment period, you need to eat a light diet, reduce the intake of fried and sweet foods, pay attention to rest, and reduce staying up late. For patients with red, itchy, and peeling skin, it is recommended to actively go to a regular hospital, under the guidance of a professional dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
