Why are there so many “hormonal faces”?

  Hormonal face is a hormonal dependence caused by the long-term use of hormonal drugs or cosmetics, skin care products, disinfectant products, health care products, etc. on the patient’s face.  The symptoms are itching, dryness, flaking, swelling, erythema, erythema, capillary dilation, atrophy of the skin and thickening of the sweat hair with long-term use. The clinical diagnosis of dermatology is hormone dependent dermatitis. It is an increasingly common and frequent disease in recent years. It is easy to diagnose and difficult to treat.  The common causes of hormonal face can be divided into the following categories: 1. Because of facial allergies, or other facial skin diseases, it is necessary to use hormonal topical drugs to apply the treatment, because the use is not standardized, or can not stop using in time, forming hormone dependence. Most of these drugs are strong hormonal drugs, such as mometasone furoate cream, dexamethasone cream, tretinoin cream and so on.  2, cosmetics or skin care products in the illegal addition of hormones to achieve anti-allergy, non-allergic, whitening and rejuvenating effect, inducing consumers to use cosmetics and skin care products containing hormones for a long time, forming hormone dependence.  Such supplies include moisturizers, whitening creams, spot creams, sunscreens, masks and so on.  3, there is a kind of product between drugs and skin care products, more hidden and harmful. Most of these products are consumer-branded, health-branded or mechanical supplies. But in essence, they are playing the trappings of these brands, the line of drug counterfeiting reality. Some of the ingredients of these products labeled with the actual composition of most of the inconsistencies, skin rubbing products containing potent hormones is commonplace. However, consumers are assured to use them because the ingredients are not labeled as containing hormones, which is more likely to lead to hormone dependence. This can lead to hormone dependence and the formation of hormonal face.  All of the above are common causes of hormonal face in clinical practice. All products that come into contact with facial skin may cause hormonal face, and there are various other causes that cannot be considered.
