What should I do if I have allergic edema on my face? This is the most correct way to deal with it

If your facial skin is allergic, you should stop using all cosmetics, wash your face with cold water to keep your skin cool, moisturize your skin, apply aloe vera, and find the cause of the allergy and treat it symptomatically.

1. How to deal with skin allergies?

1. Keep cool: After sun exposure, the skin will be at a higher temperature. At this time, experts recommend quickly covering the allergic skin with a wet cold towel, applying it about half an hour, for four to five hours until you go to bed, and then applying cold cream or ointment.

2. Replenish water: Sun exposure will absorb a large amount of water in the human body, and the body is prone to dehydration, so you should drink plenty of water to replenish the lost water. It can also indirectly alleviate the pain after sun exposure and prevent the skin from being too dehydrated.

3. Aloe vera helps: After sun exposure, applying gel containing aloe vera on the allergic skin is an effective way to treat skin allergies. Because aloe vera contains LECTIN, an ingredient similar to aspirin, it can reduce the stinging sensation caused by sun exposure.

4. Don’t wear makeup: After skin allergy, you can use moisturizer to moisturize the skin appropriately, but you cannot use cosmetics, let alone use makeup to cover up skin allergies.

2. Diagnostic Misunderstandings of Skin Allergies

1. Excessive tonic

Some people think that allergies are caused by poor physical constitution, so they try to supplement their body, trying to reduce the occurrence of allergies by improving nutritional levels or resistance. This approach is not appropriate. First of all, allergies are caused by a disorder in the body's immune function, which results in an excessive reaction to things that ordinary people are not allergic to. It is not caused by poor physical condition or malnutrition. So, just maintain a balanced diet as long as you avoid allergens. In addition, some supplements, such as paste prescriptions, have complex ingredients and may increase the risk of allergies if not chosen carefully.

2. Only prevent seafood

Although seafood is a common allergen, not all people with allergies are allergic to seafood, and people who are allergic to seafood are not necessarily allergic only to seafood.

Some people are clearly not allergic to fish and shrimp, but they avoid certain foods to prevent allergies. This does not provide much protection and not only affects their taste buds, it is really not cost-effective. Some people are allergic to seafood and have a deep memory of not eating seafood, but they relax their vigilance when it comes to avoiding other allergens, thus losing sight of one thing while focusing on another.

3. Look only at the surface

Some people think that skin allergies are just rashes and wheals on the skin. Sometimes when you get bitten by mosquitoes in the summer, don’t they also become itchy and red? Therefore, it is wrong to not care about skin allergies and only look at the surface. In fact, skin allergies are just the manifestation of systemic allergic reactions on the skin, which can be said to be the tip of the iceberg. Ignoring the so-called "appearances" is actually ignoring the impact of allergic reactions on the whole body. A more intuitive example is: some people take allergic drugs and develop drug rashes on their skin. At this time, the body's immune system is also disrupted, sometimes causing high fever and damage to liver and kidney function. Therefore, once you have an allergy, you should not simply delay diagnosis and treatment based on superficial symptoms.

It’s okay if the skin allergy is not serious, but if it is serious, your body will be very itchy, and your skin will feel painful if you scratch it hard. The above article has introduced us in detail the diagnostic misunderstandings of skin allergies. If patients with skin allergies are unsure whether they have skin allergies, they must go to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis and consult a dermatologist. Once confirmed, they must receive treatment in a timely manner. During the treatment process, you must maintain a good attitude, cure skin diseases as soon as possible, and restore your skin to healthy health!
