To establish the true cause of redness and peeling of the skin of the face, only a dermatologist can after conducting a study. First, the doctor conducts an examination, then prescribes laboratory tests, including the following tests:

the appearance of spots under the eyes and in the upper part of the cheekbones, may indicate an increase in blood pressure;
when swelling appears in the affected areas, most likely there is a problem in the functioning of the kidneys;

Based on the results of the examination and deciphering the analyzes, the specialist makes a diagnosis and prescribes a course of treatment that eliminates red spots.

Treatment methods

Various techniques are used to treat dry skin and red spots on the face. The main methods of treatment consist of the doctor's recommendations for taking medications, as well as a course of therapeutic procedures.

Treatment with external, medicinal preparations

An important role in the treatment process is played by proper nutrition and daily regimen. These recommendations include the following points:

exclusion from the diet of spicy, fatty and sweet foods;
proper face care, including two times washing with special products. You cannot use hot water for washing, it should be cool or at room temperature.

When treating, you need to use cosmetics carefully. Clogging of pores should not be allowed, otherwise new inflammatory processes will be added to redness and peeling.

Acne and blackheads on the face are quite common and often do not cause much concern in people. But there are other types of skin inflammation that can actually trigger panic. One of them is red spots on the face. The nature of the origin of such formations is not always immediately understood, which is the main cause of concern. You will be able to deal with the problem much more effectively if you first understand what was the reason for its appearance.

Given that this problem is an aesthetic one, it follows that women first of all try to disguise it with cosmetic products, without even thinking about treatment. This is a very wrong course of action. You immediately need to contact a specialist in order to accurately diagnose the pathology and begin the correct elimination. Otherwise, cosmetics can negatively affect the skin. The spots will begin to spread even more.

Depending on the characteristics of a particular person, spots may appear only once or at a certain frequency. The formation of a single spot is possible, but it is also possible that it is widespread throughout the skin. The specific shade of the formations also differs. In some, it is a pronounced red formation. Others have slightly reddened skin in a certain area.

Specific external characteristics also differ depending on what caused the formation of the formations.

Today, the following reasons are most common:

How to get rid of red spots on your face

Treatment methods for blemishes depend on what caused the blemish to form.

How to remove skin blemishes

In this case, simple preventive actions will help:

When you first appear, exclude skin peeling from your usual procedures. The cover has a fragile structure, so the epidermis is easily damaged. For the same reason, it is not recommended to use hot water for washing.
See your dietitian for a specialized diet. It is better to immediately exclude from the diet all that can cause an allergic reaction. The exact diet is prescribed depending on the characteristics of your digestive system and skin.
Red spots are most likely caused by a deficiency of natural skin hydration, therefore it is strictly forbidden to artificially dry the cover. Do not use creams and lotions for acne, try to avoid direct sunlight and, moreover, give up the tanning bed for the period of treatment.
Use ice cubes to rub your face. Make a herbal infusion. For example, chamomile is great. Pour the liquid into an ice cube tray and use the cubes every morning. After the procedure, wash your face with warm or cool water.
Try to take in more vitamins. To do this, eat fresh vegetables and fruits that do not provoke an allergenic reaction in the body. In special cases, doctors recommend taking special vitamin complexes in tablets.
Start using moisturizers. Naturally, this option is suitable for people with dry skin types. In this case, it is the features of the cover that are the main reason for the formations.
Try to avoid depression and stressful situations. It is known that the nervous system can affect the skin. It is quite possible that in your case the spots are caused precisely by disorders in the nervous system.

How to get rid of red spots on the face with medical methods

Such methods are used if redness is caused by serious disorders in the body or pathologies. The list of effective procedures includes:

Internal and external medications for eczema and psoriasis. The combination of certain means allows, firstly, to eradicate the causes of pathology and eliminate it, and secondly, to "calm" the symptoms of the disease, remove redness, and so on. In this case, the selection of funds must be trusted only by the doctor. Self-medication for such pathologies threatens with the aggravation of symptoms and the development of the viruses themselves.
Medicines for internal diseases and external medicines to relieve symptoms. If the red spots are due to diseases of the internal organs, first of all, it is necessary to do everything possible to overcome the very root of the problem. But the process can be delayed, so sometimes it is recommended to use special ointments and masks to act directly on the skin.
Antihistamines and proper nutrition for allergies. First of all, of course, it is necessary to accurately determine the allergen and delete it from the diet. Special medications can eliminate the allergy itself. It is also recommended to adhere to a special diet and eat only fresh natural products. This will allow the body to quickly overcome allergies.
Sedatives for disorders and disorders of the nervous system. This is an internal disease, which, in principle, is the easiest to deal with. It is enough to completely withdraw from annoying situations and regularly take sedatives. Soon the nervous system will be in order, and the spots will gradually disappear. If the rash causes severe discomfort, additional external agents can be used.
Special shampoos etc. This is perhaps one of the most unpleasant pathologies that can cause red spots on the face. To eliminate it, special cosmetic and pharmacological agents containing ketoconazole are used. The proportion of this substance is, as a rule, 2% of the total composition of the selected drug.

There are a large number of ointments on the market for red spots on the face. Effective remedies include hydrocortisone ointment, diferin, klenzit, nizarol, and so on.

Each of these drugs has its own characteristics. Therefore, they can only be used with the permission of a doctor. Depending on your specific situation, a specialist will prescribe a remedy that will be most effective. Specific instructions for use should also be obtained.

Home-cooked can be helpful in fighting red spots. For their preparation, natural products are used that actively affect the skin. Namely - moisturizing it. Remember that drying the skin must not be allowed under any circumstances.

A separate topic is red spots on the face left after acne treatment. This is one of the so-called post-acne varieties, which can be more difficult to get rid of than acne itself. To understand the problem in more detail, watch the video to the end, where the specialist shares general recommendations:

All of the listed remedies for treating red spots work equally well, but the results may differ depending on whether you use a particular method correctly. In any case, you first need to determine the cause of the stains and consult a doctor.

Do you want to know the reasons why spots on the face can appear and itch? We will tell you all about it.

Doctors say a skin condition can tell a lot about a patient's health. And above all this concerns his business card - his face. Today we want to talk about what to do if an adult has red spots on his face itchy and flaky. This question can be very painful, both in the literal sense of the word, because they can deliver painful sensations, and figuratively, causing harm to the human psyche.

That is why people who come across spots on their face that itch want to get rid of them as soon as possible. Whether it is possible to do this on your own or whether the obligatory presence of a doctor is necessary depends on the disease they signal, whether the rash is permanent or temporary, how rough and rough the skin looks under them, how much they can cause discomfort - in a word, all the nuances matter.

Allergic reaction

When you have a red spot or several spots on your face at once, it could be a manifestation of an allergic reaction to certain foods or medication. Your body may not tolerate the components of some foods, as is the case in young children, when the immune system is not fully formed or there are some malfunctions in its composition.

If the spots itch, then you can, of course, self-medicate, removing food from the diet one by one and taking various antihistamine pills. Many do so, not wanting to contact doctors or having negative experiences in the past. In this case, the likelihood that the spot that itches and peels will go away is not too high, since you are acting, as they say, with your finger to the sky. And pills simply remove external manifestations, without removing the cause that is inside you.

The best option in this case is to contact a dermatologist as soon as possible, who will most likely give you a referral for an allergy test. Firstly, he must establish whether you really have an allergy, and, secondly, to identify what exactly your body reacts to, offering you flaky spots on your face as a gift.

Diseases of the internal organs

Are red scaly patches on the chin, around the mouth, and at the corners of the mouth bothering but not itching? The cause of such a rash may be diseases of the internal organs. It is difficult to say which of the subsystems of the body is out of order. It can be the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach or intestines - in short, there are many options. The most important thing to remember in this case is to completely abandon self-medication! Such questions should be decided by the doctor, and only he.

How is the disease treated? First, contact a therapist who will prescribe an ultrasound of the internal organs or other tests that will help identify the cause of the rash. Secondly, no matter how difficult or expensive it is, you need to go through these studies. Thirdly, you need to consult with a gastroenterologist, who will have to prescribe the necessary solution or, if the situation requires it, send you to the operation. After the cause is resolved, the red spots on the face will go away by themselves without the use of special ointments, creams and antiallergic therapy.

Taking hormonal drugs

Sometimes the reasons for a red spot on the face lie in the intake of hormonal drugs. Very often, when reading about the side effects of pills or injections, based on the regulation of the action of hormones, you clearly see "peeling and rash". And it is not clear which organ will be "awarded" with such red spots. Usually, such a rash does not hurt, which means that it may not cause any side effects to its owner.

There are only two options in this case. First, stop taking this drug. The reason will go away, the blood will clear, the rashes will disappear. True, along with the refusal, the effect that the doctor expected when prescribing this drug for you will not come (we are sure that you take such drugs only after consulting a doctor). Secondly, you can endure without refusing to take the drug and realizing that after this period, all the symptoms will go away, and you will not remember them. How to make the right decision? Check with the doctor who prescribed this drug for you, notify him of your troubles, and he will advise you on the right decision.

The blood rushes to my face

Red spots appeared on the face. They do not hurt, but they create discomfort with their itching. There are many of them, they are small, but it seems to you that everyone around you sees them and pays attention to them. Don't worry, as the problem may be that for some reason you have blood flowing to the surface of your face.

What are the reasons that can cause this condition of the face? In fact, there are not so many of them, which cannot but rejoice:

The blood rushes as a result of exercise. If so, then change the sport you are passionate about and the problem will recede.
You are stressed, and nervous tension translates into such a rash. Which exit? It is elementary in theory (remove the cause of stress and stop worrying) and very difficult in practice (how to do it is completely incomprehensible, otherwise they would have done it long ago). Maybe instead of a doctor, you should visit a psychologist, especially if you cannot cope with the reasons that caused it on your own.
Often, red spots on the cheeks result from high blood pressure. It is because of this that the blood begins to better supply the capillaries, which are close to the surface of the skin. Again, there is only one way out - to eliminate the reason why your pressure jumps.

If the temperature regime changes sharply, then the skin can react to it accordingly - it turns red and even starts to itch. Try not to bother her with your fingernails, but remove makeup from her and soothe her with plain cool water. After some time, the balance will be restored.
After taking certain medications (we have already considered this case when we talked about hormonal drugs). Read the instructions that come with each drug you take and see if there are any side effects of a rash on your face. Well, the consultation with the attending doctor who prescribed the drug should not be postponed indefinitely.
Reason five - cosmetics that are not suitable for you

The skin of the face can react to the components of medical or decorative cosmetics, which the body, for some reason, rejects. As a result, redness, itching and even soreness can occur. Then the girls, for example, begin to mask the rash with a foundation, clogging the pores even more and preventing the skin from breathing. This applies mainly to adults and mainly to the beautiful half of humanity. However, similar cases can occur in a child in response to baby cosmetics that the mother uses to care for his skin.

Creams or cleansers may not work for a woman, and a man may not tolerate shaving products or cologne that he uses after shaving. In short, there are many options. First of all, you should pay attention to those care items that have replaced other drugs that you have been using for a long time. After such a change, the skin experiences certain stress, which can result in red spots. Go back to trusted brands that did not cause similar reactions.

In these cases, the treatment is prescribed by a dermatologist, who will not only correctly diagnose, but also prescribe the necessary, adequate and correct treatment.

Overactive sebaceous glands

This is one of the most simple problems that does not require special intervention from the outside and is manifested in the fact that sebum is produced in such people in an increased volume. Because of this, acne (inflammation of the sebaceous glands) and spots become human companions for many years.

A dermatologist will help you solve the problem. If for some reason he cannot make the correct diagnosis, he will need to pass a couple of tests, because everything here rests on the cause leading to this kind of disease.
