What causes hormone-dependent dermatitis in children?

Dermatitis has always been a common skin disease that has troubled people, especially some hormone-dependent dermatitis, which is even more annoying. It always recurs endlessly. When children have this situation, it is even more troublesome. We have to watch the children all the time and not let them scratch themselves. So how does this disease come about? Let me tell you the reason!

Hormone-dependent dermatitis is one of the most annoying types. In this type, the facial skin becomes dependent on hormones, just like smoking opium. If the skin is not applied, symptoms such as rash, desquamation, redness, and exudation (commonly known as "water") will appear, and the itching is unbearable. If the application is continued, the side effects will be more numerous and more serious. This is "hormone-dependent dermatitis."

There are three key points in the diagnosis of hormone-dependent dermatitis:

1. History of long-term use of topical hormone drugs or cosmetics containing hormones;

2. Becoming dependent on external medications or cosmetics containing hormones;

3. The skin has dermatitis-like changes (mainly manifested as erythema, papules, desquamation, redness, itching, exudation...

Each person's clinical manifestations are not exactly the same. Some may only have some symptoms, while others may have many symptoms). If these three points are met at the same time, "hormone-dependent dermatitis can be diagnosed."

Therefore, for facial skin diseases, you must use hormonal topical medications with caution! It does not mean that it must not be used at all, but it depends on the condition of the skin disease and should be avoided if possible. When it must be used, a milder type should be used, and strong hormonal topical medications such as Fuqingsong, Piyanping, Pikangwang, triamcinolone, and pyrisone should be avoided. And it must be stopped when the disease is cured, and long-term and large-scale use should be avoided. This is the only way to prevent the occurrence of serious side effects. If side effects caused by hormone abuse have already occurred, the medication should be stopped immediately.

After reading the editor's introduction, I believe that as a parent you must understand how hormone-dependent dermatitis occurs. If your child has dermatitis, it is best not to always use hormone drugs for your child, otherwise it is easy for the child's skin to become dependent. It is better to let your child eat more fruits and vegetables and have more comprehensive nutrition.
