What is hormone-dependent dermatitis of the face

Facial hormone-dependent dermatitis, is a facial dermatitis caused by long-term large amounts of topical glucocorticoids. It causes the skin stratum corneum to become thin, atrophic and sensitive, resulting in recurrent dermatitis. Clinical manifestations include facial flushing, red papules, pimples or acne-like rashes, and even oozing and crusting. Skin damage also includes dryness, peeling, skin atrophy, thinning, capillary dilation and hyperpigmentation. Facial hormone-dependent dermatitis should start by stopping the use of hormone ointments or cosmetics containing hormones. Choose the appropriate treatment according to the skin lesions, and the medication should be non-hormonal under the guidance of a doctor, such as tacrolimus ointment or triclosan cream. Meanwhile, medical brand moisturizing creams are usually used to repair the skin barrier, and the diet should be light. Facial hormone-dependent dermatitis can make the skin fragile and sensitive, and if patients experience severe or persistent discomfort, they should visit a hospital promptly.
