Dermatitis on the face: photos, causes, symptoms and treatment

A large number of diseases that were previously very rare are now commonplace. The human skin can signal disorders in the body in the form of various rashes. One of these unpleasant phenomena is dermatitis on the face, which often brings discomfort to a person. Half a century ago, this pathology was considered the lot of small children, but today it is also common among the adult population of the planet. Statistics show that twelve out of a hundred people have this disease.

Characteristics and description of the problem

Facial dermatitis, a photo of which will be provided in this article, is an inflammatory disease of the facial skin. The disease appears as a result of exposure of the skin to provoking factors of a physical, biological and chemical nature. Dermatitis manifests itself in the form of a rash and red spots that constantly itch, causing physical and aesthetic discomfort.

There are several types of disease: contact, allergic, atopic, oral, and seborrheic dermatitis.

Reasons for the development of pathology

Facial dermatitis in adults and children can develop for many reasons, both internal and external:

Disorder of the activity of the exocrine glands.
Using inappropriate cosmetics.
Hereditary predisposition.
Disturbance of the hormonal and digestive system.
Abuse of bad habits.
Insufficient oxygen supply.
Poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyle.
Prolonged stress and emotional tension, development of neuroses and depression.
Chronic fatigue, VSD.

With poor diet, lifestyle, exposure to stress and the use of inappropriate cosmetics, dermatitis often appears on the face, the photo of which is presented above. People who have the above phenomena are at risk. To prevent the development of the disease, doctors recommend following preventive measures: promptly treating existing diseases, leading a healthy lifestyle, and engaging in physical activity. This applies to all types of pathology, each of which has its own characteristics.

There are also some irritants that cause simple dermatitis in humans:

temperature regime;
friction and pressure;
ionizing radiation;
alkalis and acids;
some types of plants.

Symptoms of the disease

Doctors believe that dermatitis on the face can be a dangerous disease that develops unnoticed. Often the first signs of the disease are similar to minor inflammations or allergic reactions, but in the absence of treatment it can remain in the human body for the rest of his life.

Pathology goes through three stages of development:

The acute form is characterized by the appearance of red spots and swelling on the face. In some cases, erosions and blisters may occur, containing serous fluid; they constantly itch and eventually begin to peel off. A person experiences pain, fever, and malaise. Peeling areas are usually localized around the mouth, nose and cheeks, and the skin becomes sensitive to any irritants.
The subacute stage is caused by the appearance of scabs and scales on the skin of the face, which itch and cause discomfort. A person may develop headaches, joint pain, and increased body temperature. Over time, foci of keratinization and rough bluish scars appear on the skin.
The chronic form of the disease is practically untreatable; it is characterized by alternating periods of remission and relapse. In this case, dermatitis on the face manifests symptoms in the form of skin thickening, infiltration, and lichenification. A person may also experience blue or purple erythema, swelling, atrophy and hyperemia of the skin, hair loss, and telangiectasia.

All of the above symptoms are similar to those of many diseases, such as lupus or psoriasis. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo an examination to make an accurate diagnosis and identify the cause of the development of pathology. Only after this is it possible to prescribe effective treatment.

Often, dermatitis on the face of a child or adult occurs as a result of the body’s individual reaction to certain irritants. The allergen in this case can be different things, for example, pollen, food, cosmetics, and so on. The disease manifests itself already on the fifth day after the allergen enters the body. A person may experience areas of skin redness, swelling, and watery eyes. In advanced cases, it is possible to develop headaches, weakness, and the appearance of blisters, in place of which scars and scars subsequently form.

hormonal disorders;
poor nutrition;
taking certain medications;
autoimmune reactions of the body;
improper skin care, low-quality cosmetics;
chronic infections;
physical factors (cold, burns of various etiologies, etc.);
alcohol abuse, etc.

Heredity also plays an important role in the occurrence of dermatitis. If parents have a history of this disease, there is a high probability that the child will also develop it.

Atopic form of pathology

Atopic dermatitis on the face occurs as a complication of the allergic form of the pathology. The disease manifests itself in the form of bright red spots, which are often covered with crusts. In medicine, such formations are called eczema; the disease is dangerous because it can become chronic in a short period of time.
