What causes facial dermatitis? Pay attention to facial seborrheic dermatitis

The most common facial dermatitis is facial seborrheic dermatitis. This skin inflammation is related to gonadal disorders and is caused by excessive secretion of androgens. Another cause is the long-term excessive use of oil-removing skin care products without proper protection of the facial skin.

1. The causes are:

1. Excessive use of oil-removing and exfoliating products: Seborrheic dermatitis often grows in areas with more sebaceous glands. Excessive oil removal and exfoliation can easily induce its occurrence. Generally, women like to do oil removal and exfoliation on the areas with more sebaceous glands on their faces.

Exfoliation, such as using nose stickers, applying exfoliating masks, using mung bean powder, and loofah water, often triggers facial seborrheic dermatitis.

2. Failure to provide proper protection: After seborrheic dermatitis occurs on the face, some low-sensitivity creams should be used for protection to form a good sebum film as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

3. Excessive cleansing: Excessive cleansing is the worst option on skin with seborrheic dermatitis, as it can further damage the skin and aggravate the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis. It is advisable to use a facial cleanser with less irritation to avoid further damage and prevent induction.

4. Excessive use of makeup removers, water-based makeup remover oils and other makeup removal products: Makeup removers and water-based makeup remover oils generally contain a lot of surfactants, which are often irritating to the facial skin. People who frequently use makeup removers, water-based makeup remover oils and other makeup removal products are prone to facial seborrheic dermatitis.

5. Zinc deficiency may also cause seborrheic dermatitis, so you can supplement your diet with foods high in zinc, such as animal liver, nuts, etc. to correct the relative lack of zinc in the human body.

2. Symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis
