In daily life, some people often have densely packed small pimples on their faces. What is going on and what should they do? Let’s take a closer look at what causes facial allergies, redness, itching, and a lot of small bumps.

There are often densely packed small pimples on the face which are red and itchy. This is one of the more common skin diseases. So what is going on when the face becomes allergic, red, itchy and has many small pimples? What should we do? Let's take a closer look.

1. It may be neurodermatitis:

disease:

Neurodermatitis is a common itchy skin disease in adults. The cause of the disease is generally believed to be related to mental factors, such as emotional excitement, excessive work stress, sadness and anxiety, etc. Severe itching is the characteristic of this disease. The skin becomes thicker after scratching, but the boundaries are clear and there is no scale. It is light red in the early stage, and then there is local pigmentation, which often occurs around the neck, behind the elbows, buttocks and sides of the calves.

Treatment:

1. Systemic treatment

Antihistamines, calcium supplements, etc. can be used to relieve itching symptomatically, supplemented by oral administration of B vitamins; sedatives can be used for severe itching; for widespread rash, procaine intravenous blockade or combined use of tripterygium wilfordii drugs can be used.

2. Local treatment

You can choose to use glucocorticoid ointment, cream or solution for external use. For those with hypertrophy, you can seal the area or use 10% black bean distilled oil ointment for external use. Refractory skin lesions can be treated with local intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide injection.

Second, it may be seasonal skin sensitivity:

disease:

Some people will experience more serious skin allergy problems when the seasons change: dryness, itching, peeling, erythema, etc. Skin sensitivity is related to dry skin, as well as to the environment, climate, age, food and cosmetics.

Treatment:

1. People who are prone to allergies should pay more attention to the balanced intake of dietary nutrition, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less fish, shrimp, beef, mutton, greasy, sweet and irritating food.

3. If allergic symptoms occur, stop using any cosmetics immediately and observe and care for your skin. During this period, do not wash your face with too hot water to avoid irritating the skin, and pay attention to sun protection.

3. It may be a cosmetic allergy:

disease:

Certain ingredients in cosmetics can cause skin allergies, irritate skin cells, and cause skin cells to produce antibodies, leading to allergies.

Treatment:

If skin allergies are caused by improper use of cosmetics, you should not use ointments for treating general skin diseases at will. Otherwise, it will cause rough skin, pigmentation, and aggravate the skin disease.

4. It may be closed comedones:

Causes:

We call closed comedones whiteheads. Closed comedones are difficult to cure clinically. The formation of closed comedones is due to a series of symptoms caused by endocrine disorders in the body, and the direct cause is that the stratum corneum is too thick. Closed comedones are unstable comedones (closed type) that can easily develop into pimples. These are the process and symptoms of closed comedones. Because the pores are closed, the oil inside is not oxidized. You can see a white or red top. The white one is a whitehead, and if it is red, it means it is inflamed. It must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will leave permanent scars.

Treatment:

1. Exfoliate promptly

The biggest reason for the formation of closed comedones is that the stratum corneum is too thick, so you need to clean the waste cuticle regularly. In the dry season, you can choose mild exfoliating products to avoid cuticle accumulation and prevent closed comedones.

2. Safe makeup removal

Prevent the outbreak of closed comedones. Many girls have closed comedones and they don’t know the cause. In fact, most of them are caused by makeup removal. Because the makeup remover oil/milk is not thoroughly cleaned, mineral oil remains in the pores and becomes excess oil on the skin. When mixed with the metabolized keratin, it forms terrible closed comedones. Therefore, you must also wash your face thoroughly after removing makeup.

3. Choose salicylic acid skin care products

Salicylic acid is very effective in exfoliating. In addition, it can promote skin metabolism, shrink pores, clean blackheads, effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles, help restore skin radiance, and restore baby skin.

4. Use less foundation products

Because the molecules of foundation products are relatively small, they are easily mixed with sebum and then clog the pores. Therefore, try to reduce the use of foundation products. Also, clean your face thoroughly and do not let makeup stay on your face for too long.

5. Use more facial masks

Those who have been doing skin care for a long time know that facial oiliness cannot be controlled or absorbed completely, and water can overcome oil. Oily skin is prone to oiliness because of lack of water. Moisturizing is the absolute truth of oil control. If you mind closed comedones, then take action. Prepare a facial mask every day and apply lavender water or rose water on your face. The effect will definitely be beyond your imagination.

5. It may be ringworm:

disease:

Peach blossom ringworm is a skin allergy reaction. Some light pink, round red spots will appear on the face. They will be itchy and a little peeling. Because it often occurs in the spring when flowers are blooming, it is called "peach blossom ringworm".

Treatment:

1. Keep your face clean, do not use soap with strong alkalinity, and use silicone cream to keep your skin moisturized;

2. The onset of simple facial pityriasis is related to factors such as excessive exposure to wind and sun, indigestion, vitamin deficiency, dry skin, etc., which require attention;

3. You can also take B vitamins under the guidance of a doctor to prevent dry skin;

4. Avoid eating irritating foods, avoid exposure to wind and sun, stop using inferior skin care products, have a regular life, limit high-fat and high-sugar diets, avoid drinking alcohol, and eat more fresh vegetables, etc.;

5. Do not use ringworm medicines indiscriminately. You can take vitamin B complex tablets orally or apply 5% sulfur ointment externally.
