There is a red spot on my face that looks like ringworm

Various facial discomforts have always been a common skin problem that has troubled many people, such as oily skin, menstrual acne, acne, blackheads, skin itching, allergies and so on. Although some people do not have the above-mentioned facial skin problems, they are troubled by another symptom, which is a red, ringworm-like patch on their face. Because the cause is unclear, patients have always been very worried about developing more difficult-to-treat skin diseases such as psoriasis.

1. What is the cause of red ringworm on the face?

1. This symptom is considered to be caused by allergies. It is recommended to take oral anti-allergic drugs and try to avoid external irritants and local irritations in daily life.

2. It may also be caused by dermatitis or drug rash, which is mainly related to diet, environmental factors, local irritation, season, etc. It is recommended to eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less spicy food, and apply hot compress to relieve it.

3. It may also be a manifestation of tinea corporis, caused by Trichophyton, Microsporum or Epidermophyton. The treatment of tinea corporis should be based on local treatment.

2. What to do if your facial skin is allergic

1. Avoid irritating maintenance

Avoid using irritating products such as fruit acids, exfoliants, and alcohol-based lotions. Exfoliating products like scrubs and deep cleansing masks all work by enhancing the metabolism of the stratum corneum, but they are too irritating for sensitive skin.

2.

Take good care of your skin

Regardless of the cold or hot season, people with allergies must be very careful in taking care of their skin. In addition to washing their faces with warm water twice a day, they must also use some special skin lotions, toners, and moisturizers.

3. Precautions for facial dermatitis

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your face in the morning and evening, take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently, wash your hair frequently, etc.

2. Do necessary exercise. Proper physical exercise can promote skin metabolism and protect the skin against bacterial infection.

3. Apply topical medication under the guidance of a doctor. If facial itching, dryness and desquamation are severe, the doctor will prescribe topical medications. When using topical medications, be sure to wash your face thoroughly before use.

4. Treatment of facial tinea

1. Avoid using hormone drugs

After using hormonal drugs on the face, the skin lesions may be infected with bacteria or fungi, which can have serious consequences. Some psoriasis patients will experience worsening symptoms after stopping medication, resulting in small red papules on the face. It is recommended that patients do not use medication on their face at will.

2. Avoid direct sunlight

After ringworm develops on your face, you can often get more sun, take a walk, etc. However, long-term direct exposure to strong sunlight can easily cause burns to the facial skin and aggravate the condition, so you must try to avoid it.
