What happened to hormone face?

1, long-term abuse of hormone ointment or oral or intravenous hormone drugs, such as Pikangwang ointment, Piyanping ointment, Fusong ointment, skin care ointment, Shunfeng Kang Wang and other hormone ointments. Short-term external use of hormones can cause epidermal atrophy and inhibit dermal collagen synthesis, while long-term external use of hormones can cause skin atrophy, thinning, red blood, pigmentation, skin wrinkles and aging. 2. Indiscriminate use of cosmetics containing hormones: Some manufacturers add hormones to some "quick-acting" freckle-removing, whitening and acne-removing cosmetics in order to satisfy consumers' psychology of seeking beauty and quickness. Many consumers misuse hormone products without knowing it, leading to the occurrence of hormone face. 3. Long-term consumption of foods containing hormones: such as chickens, ducks and fish fed with hormones, health products containing hormones, nutritional products, ripening fruits, etc. Oral hormones can cause obesity, hirsutism, acne, hyperglycemia, hypertension, edema, menstrual disorders, osteoporosis, aseptic osteonecrosis, gastric and duodenal ulcers and other diseases. Third, the expression of hormone face facial skin itching, burning, pain, dryness, desquamation, tightness, skin flushing, acne, dermatitis, red blood and other symptoms. If the hormone is used on the face for more than 2~6 months, it may cause symptoms such as erythema, papules, skin shrinkage and thinning, subcutaneous capillary dilatation and congestion, disordered hair arrangement, generalized acne, rosacea-like changes, dull skin color, aggravated hair, uneven pigment, deposition or shedding, facial skin shriveled lines, folliculitis and suppuration, etc., and it is easy to induce iatrogenic after the hormone poisoning and absorption in the elderly. The skin feels addicted to drugs or cosmetics containing hormones, so it is impossible to stop using them and use other non-hormonal products. Once stopped, 1-3 days will see erythema, papules, chapped, desquamation, small abscess, itching, tenderness and other "hormone rebound" phenomena. Four. The principle of action of glucocorticoid glucocorticoid is one of the most commonly used drugs to treat skin diseases. Glucocorticoid has strong immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects, but it can't play an antibacterial role. It can effectively relieve symptoms such as redness, heat, itching and swelling. Commonly used in the treatment of some emergencies, such as lupus erythematosus, septic shock, dermatomyositis, nephrotic syndrome and so on. It can't cure the disease effectively, but can only weaken the inflammatory reaction of the human body, relieve the pain of patients, save lives, and treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. In the early stage, when cosmetics or ointments containing hormones were used, due to their powerful anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive effects, the skin quickly turned white, became moist and tender, and the primary problems of the skin were quickly alleviated. The use of cosmetics or ointments containing hormones beyond physiological tolerance has seriously disturbed the immune system of skin cells. At the same time, the penetration of hormones is particularly strong, and the face is the most absorbed part of hormones, which can not only enter skin cells, but also enter blood, lymph and even internal organs, producing a large number of sensitizing factors-free radicals. These allergens, in turn, aggravate the immune disorder of skin cells, leading to the gradual weakening of skin's immune ability and more and more sensitive skin; Hormones can inhibit skin metabolism, including protein, lipids and other substances. Long-term external use of hormone products can basically inhibit lipid and protein metabolism in the stratum corneum. Only the old keratinocytes keep falling off, and the new keratinocytes cannot grow. Causes the cuticle to become thinner and thinner, and there is almost no cuticle in severe cases. The skin is streaking, losing its barrier function and resistance. The integrity of lipid bilayer composed of ceramide, free fatty acid, cholesterol and other lipids will be gradually destroyed, and the skin will lose its water-locking ability and barrier function. Bacteria, fungi or viruses on the skin surface will enter the dermis and cause immune inflammatory reaction. Once the products containing hormones are stopped, the skin will be allergic for a long time, dry, peeling, rash, acne, itching and even pain, dull, yellow, loose and dull, nameless swelling and pain, red pimples, pigmentation, etc. At the same time, it stimulates the capillaries to expand, so that the face will turn red, hot, and even have symptoms such as red blood, and it is dependent on hormones (just like smokers are addicted). When these ointments or cosmetics are stopped, the skin will be damaged by inflammation because of the same principle as the "withdrawal symptoms" of smokers quitting smoking, so it is necessary to use hormones repeatedly and gradually increase them to control the symptoms. The dependence on hormones is called "hormone-dependent dermatitis". Fifth, how to treat the hormone face is quite stubborn. There is no specific medicine at present, and it will not be cured soon. Long-term adherence to treatment is psychologically prepared. During the improvement of hormone dermatitis, we should maintain a good attitude, not be anxious or dry, and have the perseverance to overcome hormone face. Let's not be discouraged, let's not give up halfway, and let's not fall into the magic cave of hormone skin care products again for quick results. Diet, mainly light, eat more scented tea and food. Avoid eating spicy and irritating fatty foods, such as onions, ginger, garlic, strong tea, coffee, wine, beef and mutton and other foods that can easily cause allergies, such as fish, shrimp and other seafood. When the temperature is high and low, and the seasons alternate, some protective measures should be taken, such as paying attention to sun protection in summer and wearing masks in winter to alleviate the symptoms of hormone face. For skin with hormone face, redness and fever are the first symptoms. Don't use cold spray, cold compress or even ice compress to relieve discomfort. Although this can alleviate the discomfort caused by the disease, it can only play a temporary role and cannot be cured. The correct way is to use water with a body temperature similar to that when washing your face, clean your face, and choose weak acid or neutral facial cleanser to avoid irritation. Gradually stop using hormones and stop using all hormone drugs, cosmetics and health products to prevent dependence. Although the effect of hormone products is very obvious, once they are stopped, the symptoms will not improve, but will be more serious.
