What should I do if my face is allergic, red, and rough?
Disease description:
I am 30 years old. Recently, while washing my face, I noticed a rash on my face, accompanied by slight itching, redness, and dryness. After an examination, the doctor diagnosed it as facial allergy. I would like to know how to manage facial allergy symptoms such as redness and rough skin?
When experiencing facial allergies, redness, and roughness, the following measures can help alleviate symptoms:
1. Avoid irritation: Discontinue the use of cosmetics, skincare products, or cleansers that may cause allergies. Avoid excessive rubbing or squeezing of the skin.
2. Cleanse and moisturize: Choose a mild, non-irritating facial cleanser. After washing your face, use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type to maintain skin hydration.
3. Anti-inflammatory and antiallergic treatment: Under a doctor's guidance, you may take antiallergic medications such as loratadine or chlorpheniramine, or apply topical anti-inflammatory agents such as calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to relieve allergic symptoms.
4. Cold compress: Soak a towel in cold or ice water and gently apply it to the affected area. This helps constrict blood vessels and reduce redness, swelling, and itching.
5. Dietary adjustment: Avoid foods that may trigger allergies, such as seafood and mangoes. Maintain a balanced diet and consume more foods rich in vitamins C and E, which can help strengthen the skin's resistance.
6. Seek medical advice: If symptoms persist or worsen, promptly consult a doctor for allergy testing to enable more targeted treatment.
