What to do if you are allergic to facial mask

Facial masks are a type of skin care product, which can have many functions, such as whitening, moisturizing, etc. However, we may also experience allergies after using facial masks. This situation should be taken seriously, but it can be treated in many ways. However, many people don’t know this. So what should we do if we are allergic to facial masks on our faces?

Stop using facial masks and other skin care products. This is also something that should be done immediately when facial allergies occur. If there are other skin care products remaining on the patient's face, they must be removed immediately with warm water. For patients with mild allergies, the allergic symptoms will gradually disappear after stopping use for a few days.

Apply ice. If the patient's face shows obvious redness, swelling, rash or itching, then it is necessary to apply wrapped ice cubes or ice bags directly to the face, which can help relieve allergies. Because when the ice pack touches the skin, it can have a certain calming effect, and the allergic symptoms can be effectively relieved. It is worth noting that patients should ensure that their face is clean and thoroughly remove any allergic substances remaining on the face before applying ice.

Seek medical attention promptly. When simple relief methods are ineffective, patients need to take the mask and instructions to a dermatologist. The doctor will have a preliminary understanding of the mask product and the patient's allergic symptoms to confirm the factors that caused the patient's allergy. If necessary, the patient also needs to undergo an allergen test and undergo professional examination to determine which substance in the mask the patient is allergic to. After identifying the allergic substance, the doctor will prescribe appropriate anti-allergic drugs to treat the patient's facial mask allergy.

The above are some methods that patients can take when they are allergic to facial masks. When using these methods, patients should also pay attention to eating a light diet, eating more foods containing vitamins, and drinking plenty of water, so as to promote the elimination of allergic symptoms as soon as possible. In addition, patients must avoid scratching their face during treatment, otherwise it is easy to cause facial scars, thus affecting the effect of treatment.
