”Doctor, my face was never allergic before and I don’t get “acne”, but why do I get allergic and acne two times a day recently? I often feel that my skin is very dry, and it’s useless to replenish more water, and I always feel hot and uncomfortable. ……”. In the dermatology clinic, doctors often hear such complaints. Now the living conditions are better, eat better, greasy, spicy food is delicious enough and enough, do not know that while enjoying the delicious, our face is also suffering from the “burden” of food, as well as environmental pollution, work rhythms increase caused by all kinds of allergies and acne and other skin problems. However, there is a deeper reason behind some of the seemingly allergic and acne-prone skin problems, which is hormones. The skin is “attacked” by hormones for a long time and becomes dependent on them, which is medically called hormone-dependent dermatitis. Glucocorticoids are a double-edged sword, originally one of the three landmark drugs in dermatology, which saved a number of life-threatening diseases such as lupus erythematosus and severe drug rash, and also effectively controlled the attacks of eczema and dermatitis. However, in the hands of unscrupulous businessmen, the hormone has changed its face into the popular “whitening agent” and highly effective hydration device, which easily flows into the hands of unknown consumers through various online stores, micro stores, beauty stores and small commodity market stores, turning into various “whitening They are turned into a variety of “whitening and spot removal tools”, which eventually become disfiguring tools. Abused glucocorticoids are known as “skin opiates” in dermatology. Glucocorticoids have strong immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects, short-term use can make the skin quickly become white and tender, after months or even years of “corrosion”, the skin’s stratum corneum is destroyed, immunity will gradually weaken, the skin becomes unusually sensitive and fragile, can not withstand any stimulation. The skin will also lose its ability to lock in moisture and gradually become abnormally dry; it will not be able to prevent external substances from invading the body and will become super sensitive. Once you stop using products containing hormones, your skin will break out in redness, itchiness and acne. At this time, the use of general anti-allergy and anti-coma treatment can barely play a role, and the continued use of the original hormone products can temporarily alleviate the situation, so the repeated vicious cycle will lead to redness of the entire face, and serious skin atrophy, followed by various serious infections, which is hormone-dependent dermatitis, also known as “hormone face”. There are various manifestations of hormone-dependent dermatitis, and the treatment plan varies from person to person. Once the skin barrier of the face is damaged by hormones, the recovery process is very long, taking at least 3 months. Therefore, the treatment cycle of “hormonal face” is extremely long, and the process is similar to “drug rehabilitation”. However, as long as you face it positively and treat it appropriately, most patients can be cured after a few months to a few years.
