In the dermatology clinic often see some patients, especially female patients, often facial flushing, burning, dry, tight, itchy and painful, exacerbated by heat (such as indoor temperature is slightly higher, or exposure to the sun), eat spicy and stimulating food, emotional excitement will also aggravate the condition, and often do not get better. After a detailed history, careful diagnosis, such patients, the culprit is most of the “topical hormone”. Recently diagnosed a case of only 20 years old, the condition is particularly serious “facial hormone-dependent dermatitis” female patients, the disease has been more than half a year, manifested as a full facial redness, burning intolerable, caressing the scalding, always hand-held a small kettle used for watering the flowers, a moment can not be away from the hand, to the face of the time to spray cool water, the burning and itching pain can only be temporarily alleviated! The pain of the burning itch can only be temporarily alleviated by spraying cool water on the face! People know the harm of drugs, drug addiction, so the drugs can always be vigilant. But do not know that improper use of hormones for dermatology can also be addictive, and addiction caused by hormone dependence, physical and mental pain! Hormone is a double-edged sword, with the proper use of life-saving, healing disease; with the improper but will aggravate the condition, or lead to new diseases, topical hormone of course is no exception. Improper use of topical hormones can cause a decline in local skin resistance, easy to secondary bacterial and fungal infections; long-term use of fluoride hormones will produce local skin atrophy, capillary dilation, local hirsutism and other side effects. There are many side effects of topical hormones, but one of the most common is “hormone-dependent dermatitis”. This kind of dermatitis is often caused by inappropriate use of topical fluoride hormones, and is most common in women’s face, men’s genital skin and perianal skin. Due to the long-term use of hormones leads to capillary expansion, local blood flow increases, so the affected areas of the skin is often congested redness, burning, after the use of hormones lead to thin skin, under which the expansion of the capillaries are clearly visible. Because topical hormones can easily lead to addiction, patients often become psychologically dependent on hormones, relying on topical hormones to alleviate their pain, and discontinuing their use for a while may lead to an immediate aggravation of their condition. Patients can’t stop using hormones, and it is very painful for them to speak of their sufferings! If the long-term use of hormones in the face for more than 2 to 6 months, may also cause “rosacea-like” changes, manifested as erythema, papules, pustules, capillary dilatation. The causes of “hormone-dependent dermatitis” are as follows: one is the patient himself suffers from a certain skin disease, due to the need for treatment, long-term or inappropriate external use of fluorine-containing hormones; a part of the healthy people, due to the needs of facial beauty, inappropriate use of hormone-containing beauty products. The former situation, because the patient has a clear history of drug use, drug instructions are also clearly labeled with hormone components, often can find the reason, we call it “obvious topical hormone”; the latter situation, most often occurs in some female white-collar workers, the use of beauty products often will not be labeled with hormone components, so the reason for obscurity, the patient often be The latter situation mostly occurs in some female white-collar workers, the use of beauty products are often not labeled with hormone ingredients, so the reason is obscure, patients are often “in the dark” and do not know, we call it “hidden topical hormone”. Topical hormone addiction is difficult to eliminate, so the treatment of “hormone-dependent dermatitis” is also more difficult. In recent years, we have treated a large number of patients with “hormone-dependent dermatitis”, and summarized a set of combined Chinese and Western medicine treatment: internal nourishing yin and heat-clearing traditional Chinese medicine, external macrolide immunosuppressant, and with the strong pulse light to close the redundant capillaries. The efficacy of the treatment has been significantly improved compared with other methods. Topical hormone, according to the strength of the general divided into: very strong, strong, moderate, weak four categories, in some high-risk areas, such as the face, armpits, vulva, groin, perianal, buttock groove, etc., should be used without fluoride weak or moderate hormone, can not be used fluoride-containing hormone, very strong hormone. Children’s skin is thin and tender, the elderly skin is thin, also can not use fluoride hormone. Today’s society, has entered a “fear of hormone era”, the use of hormone physicians are naturally very cautious, here also reminds the many beauty ladies, do not unprincipled, unfounded belief or use of some components of the unknown “beauty products”, in order to avoid the “beauty”, but also to avoid the “beauty”. In order to avoid beauty and “disfigurement”, so as to cause endless harm!
