Hormonal face usually recovers in six months to two years, and it is impossible to generalize due to the varying degrees of the patient’s condition.
Hormonal face is caused by the long-term topical use of glucocorticoid-containing preparations on the face, resulting in recurrent pimples, flushing, flaking, and rosacea-like rashes on the facial skin. If the patient stops using glucocorticoid-containing medications, it may lead to aggravation of the local skin condition, thus prompting the patient to continue using glucocorticoid-containing preparations, which belongs to a vicious circle.
In general, patients with hormonal face have a longer course of treatment, and if the symptoms are mild, the original skin can be gradually restored in about six months. However, if the patient’s symptoms are more serious, the recovery time is relatively longer, it may take about two years, can not be generalized. Patients need to stop using glucocorticoid drugs under the guidance of the doctor, and at the same time follow the doctor’s instructions to use tacrolimus ointment, pimecrolimus ointment and other calcium-modulated phosphatase inhibitors.
If diagnosed with hormonal face, patients are advised to take into account their own situation and actively cooperate with doctors to take relevant treatment measures.
