Why do I have red spots on my face?

Many teenagers are prone to acne, but some develop red spots accompanied by itching symptoms. Many people don’t know what causes this, so many people mistakenly think that it is caused by an allergy to facial cleanser. In fact, this is not true. Let’s ask an expert to introduce this issue.

Redness and itchiness on the face with small red spots are symptoms of facial skin allergies. When redness and itching appear on your face, you need to stop using all cosmetics immediately and do not try to use cosmetics to cover up the allergic symptoms. Apply ice to your face 3 times a day for 15 minutes each time.

Avoid spicy and greasy food. Light food and green vegetables are best. Eat more fruits and drink more water to promote the body's metabolism through adequate water intake. If the allergic redness and swelling on the face has not subsided, it is recommended to use professional anti-allergic products to further relieve the allergy and repair. Some facial masks, sprays, and essences with soothing effects can repair damaged skin stratum corneum and help the skin return to a healthy state.

If you are just starting to take oral anti-allergic drugs such as chlorpheniramine, vitamin C, and calcium gluconate, try to avoid external irritants and local irritations in daily life, do not scratch, rub hard, or wash with hot water or soap. Do not drink alcohol, strong tea, or coffee. Do not eat sour, spicy dishes, or other irritating foods. During the attack period, avoid eating foods that are prone to allergies, such as yellow croaker, shrimp, and seafood, for a long time. It is an allergic reaction, which is a problem of one's own physical constitution and a hyperfunction of the immune system. It is usually caused by contact with or use of substances or foods that are prone to cause allergies.

In terms of treatment, the most important thing is to first find the allergen and try to avoid contact. You can take chlorpheniramine, terfenadine, vitamin C, and calcium gluconate orally. In severe cases, you can receive intravenous drip of normal saline + cimetidine + dexamethasone + vitamin C, and at the same time, inject 10% calcium gluconate 10-15ML intravenously. You cannot eat seafood or spicy food during treatment.

The above is what experts tell us about the reasons why red spots and itching appear on the face. Once a similar situation occurs, you should immediately stop using the facial cleanser and go to the hospital for treatment. This will help patients find the cause quickly and then receive targeted treatment to help patients recover as soon as possible.
