With the development of the medical plastic surgery industry and the rise of the Netflix economy, the era of face value has arrived. There has never been a time when people paid as much attention to their “face” as they do today. There is nothing wrong with taking care of your skin and making yourself more beautiful. Not to mention the high face value, not only give yourself more confidence, but also often means more opportunities. However, along with many women using those fancy bottles and jars to maintain and groom their faces, the number of women with facial discomfort causing skin problems is also increasing. A number of research studies have found that some of these patients are allergy-induced contact dermatitis, and a large proportion of them are caused by the incorrect use of creams and skin care cosmetics containing adrenocorticotropic hormones (hereinafter referred to as “hormones”). Hormone is a good thing, it has various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-intoxication, anti- shock, immunosuppression, regulation of substance metabolism, etc. It is a good helper for doctors to treat diseases. Since the 1950s, when hydrocortisone was first found to be effective in treating certain skin diseases, hormones have become one of the most commonly applied drugs in the treatment of skin diseases. However, with the common application of topical hormone preparations, especially the continuous introduction of strong preparations, the improper use or abuse of topical hormone preparations has become more and more serious. Especially in China, since the 1990s, the incidence of hormone dermatitis caused by the abuse of hormones of medical origin and the illegal addition of hormones in skin care and cosmetics has increased significantly, and in recent years there is a trend of worsening, so much so that a new name for the disease has emerged, which is known as the “fifth major skin disease”, hormone dependent dermatitis. “Hormonal face” is the common name for “hormone dependent dermatitis”. It refers to a kind of non-purulent inflammation of the skin that is similar to a “withdrawal reaction” caused by the long-term topical use of hormone preparations (most of the time without the patient’s knowledge), resulting in the dependence of the affected skin on the drug. The main manifestations are: the original disease (such as acne, allergy, etc.) improves rapidly after the drug is used, and once the drug is stopped after several weeks, burning, erythema, papules, swelling, itching, flaking, pain, and tightness can occur to varying degrees at the site where the drug is used within a few days. Although there are many kinds of treatment options for hormonal face, such as hormone decreasing method, antihistamine treatment, calcium phosphatase inhibitor treatment such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, Chinese medicine treatment, etc., on the whole, the course of treatment is long and the effect is slow, so it should be said that it is not particularly satisfactory, therefore, prevention is more important than treatment. So how to prevent hormonal face? 1.Don’t use hormones casually Always remember that the skin of the face is the weakest part of human skin, and in principle, don’t use ointments containing hormones on the face for non-special reasons. 2.Recognize common hormone drugs To prevent misuse of hormones, please try to remember some common ointments containing hormones: such as dermaplanin, dermatologic king, skin cream, enzymatic cream, euthyroxel (less side effects), etc.; and these hormones containing “pine”: such as paregoric pine, halomethasone, deinflammatory pine, skin relaxation, elosone, flumethasone, betamethasone, dexamethasone, dexamethasone, dexamethasone, etc, The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. 3, do not blindly pursue the effect Do not buy those who claim to quickly whitening, spot removal mask, cream, toner, cleanser and other skin care cosmetics, especially e-commerce, micro business, beauty salon promotion of unknown brands. 4, the problem to find a doctor Finally, once the above-mentioned problems appear on the face, do not believe in advertising, and do not take the initiative to buy ointment to wipe the drugstore, the safest way is to go to the hospital to consult your trusted dermatologist.
