The formation of sensitive skin on the face is due to the following reasons:
1, the skin itself is delicate.
This is mostly seen in infants and young children, the baby’s skin stratum corneum is thin, the ability to resist the outside world is relatively poor adults, so if the skin is more tender, it is easy to external stimuli more sensitive. In adults, the skin has a different thickness of stratum corneum and a different resistance to the outside world. Generally speaking, the skin of the eyelids of adults is relatively thin and less resistant. The skin on the soles of the feet is the thickest and has a stronger ability to resist external offices. Therefore, different parts of the skin have different layers of sensitivity to the outside world due to the different thickness of the stratum corneum.
2, external causes
Because of external diseases, most commonly eczema, contact dermatitis and other allergic diseases, or local inflammatory diseases, resulting in the destruction of the skin barrier function, the poor resistance to the external session can also cause sensitive skin. Because the above diseases not only lead to local skin lesions, but also lead to poor local resistance even after the surface appears to be healed. This is just like the siding or turf, if a certain place of the siding or turf is damaged, and then repaired, it looks different from other parts, always feel some differences, it takes some time to be consistent with the surrounding. Skin is also the same, if a certain place of skin damage, even if temporarily repaired, resistance is not the same as other undamaged parts, need a period of time to repair to fully consistent.
If during the process of repairing the skin damage, it is stimulated by the outside world, which could not have caused a reaction, it will also lead to skin sensitivity.
3.Hormone Dependent Dermatitis
The main reason for singling out hormone-dependent dermatitis for explanation is that hormones are now too abused. Not only are there a lot of hormone-containing creams in pharmacies and skin care products in beauty parlors that use hormone-containing products, but also physicians themselves may prescribe hormone-containing topical medications in order for patients to heal as quickly as possible.
Hormones are a good thing, they can treat many diseases, and some diseases cannot be treated without them. However, because of the powerful effects of hormones, hormone abuse is also common. Even certain drugs or skin care products are not declared even if they contain hormones. This leads to the possibility of unknowing hormone abuse. Properly used hormones can save many lives and treat many diseases. However, hormones also have significant side effects, such as thinning of the skin, dilated capillaries, and local pigmentation.
If you have been in an environment with a large temperature difference, eaten hot pot, or have inexplicable skin erythema, and have used hormone ointment topically in the last year, or have had skin whitening skin care at a beauty salon, you should consider the possibility of hormone dependent dermatitis.
Treatment of sensitive skin on the face
1, first of all, to clarify the cause of the disease
To clarify the cause of the formation of sensitive skin on the face. Recently, the skin has no skin disease or venereal disease. If there has been a similar disease, the skin repair will need a process. In addition, there is no recent topical hormone ointment, if there may be hormone dependent dermatitis, you need to immediately stop using hormone topical preparations. Even if the skin is very severe, topical hormone ointments should not be used. Also, if you have recently carried out whitening or acne skin care, it is recommended to stop using it immediately.
2.In addition to the cause of the disease
Topical care of sensitive skin is important.
If there is sensitive skin, in the case of a clear cause, to be sure to remove the cause. Such as stopping the use of hormones, stopping the use of whitening, acne removal skin care, stopping the use of allergy-causing drugs.
Of course, the discontinuation of the above drugs may appear aggravated, but even if aggravated, you should not apply the above drugs again. This is because if you apply it again, it will be like a drug addiction and you will become dependent. Dependence is not scary, what is scary is the step by step aggravation of the disease.
3.Local care
You can apply some mild moisturizing creams topically, such as baby creams, etc. It is best to have no scented skin care products. Because the skin care products with fragrance mostly contain benzene rings, which are themselves chemical structures that may irritate the skin.
If there is redness or oozing, you can take the local wet compress approach. Wet compress on the use of ordinary mineral water can be, humidity of about 10 degrees, using cotton towels, after wetting with mineral water, in order not to flow as the best. Then apply to the lesion skin, as a mask. Time to about 30 minutes is appropriate. The number of times can be about 3 times, of course, if there is time for more. If the towel appears dry during the period, just add some water again. In short, keep the wet dressing moist.
4.Local treatment
If the condition is more serious, it is necessary to take the treatment of drugs.
The method of treatment varies from person to person depending on the condition, as detailed in the article on the principles of topical dermatological drug use. If exudation occurs, the wet application method described above is required. If there is no exudation, you can use topical pimecrolimus, tacrolimus, etc. These drugs do not contain hormones and do not cause the common side effects of hormones. The use can be a mixture of skin care products, and the ratio varies depending on the condition.
If serious, pimecrolimus and other drugs can be more, such as the disease is reduced, gradually reduce the proportion of pimecrolimus and other drugs. Pay attention to the slow reduction of drugs and the rules of drug reduction. Of course there may be recurrence during the period, just like the stock, it keeps jumping up and down, but finally it goes down. The same is true for disease treatment, which slowly decreases until it is cured.
If the capillary dilatation or pigmentation for a long time, you can take photorejuvenation treatment or hormone treatment, but the precondition must be after the skin disease is cured.
5, establish confidence
It is important to have confidence in the treatment of diseases, and this is also true for skin diseases. The actual fact is that you’ll be able to get rid of the problem by using a lot of the same tools that you’ve been using in the past. The disease repeatedly is not terrible, as long as the rules of treatment can certainly be cured. Fear is afraid of losing confidence in the middle, which is not only harmful to the treatment of the disease, but also not good for life.
In addition, pay attention to rest, you can eat more vegetables, fruits and other green food. These foods have antioxidant effect, not only for the treatment of disease beneficial, for prolonging life also has a great help.
Believe in yourself, you can do it. May you all be healthy forever!
