What is
Facial eczema
?
Facial eczema is a type of eczema that primarily affects the face, causing redness, dryness, itching, and inflammation. It can occur on the cheeks, forehead, around the eyes, and near the mouth. Due to the sensitivity of facial skin, managing this condition requires gentle yet effective treatments.
Facial eczema can be triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Common causes and triggers include:
- Allergens such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites
- Harsh skincare products, including those with fragrances and alcohol
- Weather changes, particularly cold or dry conditions
- Stress and hormonal fluctuations
- Certain foods that may cause allergic reactions
- Underlying skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis
Treatment for facial eczema focuses on soothing inflammation, restoring the skin barrier, and preventing flare-ups. Common treatments include:
- Prescription topical corticosteroids (low potency for delicate facial skin)
- Non-steroidal creams (such as calcineurin inhibitors) to reduce inflammation
- Gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to hydrate and protect the skin
- Avoidance of harsh skincare products and irritants
- Antihistamines to manage itching
- In severe cases, oral medications or biologic treatments
