When the skin on both sides of the cheeks becomes red and itchy, the following measures can be taken: 1. General care: Avoid scratching with hands to prevent skin damage and possible infection. Apply a cold towel or ice pack locally to relieve itching and promote capillary constriction. 2. Moisturization: If symptoms are caused by dry skin, apply moisturizing skincare products or face masks to replenish skin hydration. 3. Avoid allergens: If symptoms are due to allergies, identify and avoid contact with allergens such as pollen or dust mites as soon as possible. 4. Dietary adjustments: Pay attention to diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more foods rich in vitamins. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
