Browse By

Facial rashes can be caused by many things, some of which are harmless and some of which can be dangerous diseases. Here are 10 common causes of facial rashes:

1. Red rash on the face from seborrheic dermatitis .

Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of dermatitis that commonly occurs on the face or in oily areas such as the scalp, hairline, earlobes, between the eyebrows, and the bridge of the nose, as well as the upper chest and upper back.

Symptoms include dry, red, and itchy flakes. Symptoms tend to come and go, so it’s important to moisturize your skin and use products for sensitive skin.

If symptoms are severe, a doctor should be consulted for consideration of a topical medication. The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is unknown. But it is thought to involve the immune system’s response to the yeast Pityrosporum ( Malassezia ).

2. Red rash on the face from contact dermatitis

Contact dermatitis is a type of dermatitis that is triggered by external contact. Or by the use of various facial products, soaps, or even hair dyes, as well as dust from the environment in which you live.

The facial skin is delicate and easily inflamed after contact. Symptoms include redness, itching, flaking, or even blisters in the affected area.

There are both types: irritant contact dermatitis, which is caused by an irritant. And allergic contact dermatitis, which is caused by an allergen on someone’s skin.

Symptoms may be acute, recurring, or chronic, and usually affect only one side of the affected area. If this condition occurs. The suspected allergic trigger should be avoided and certain topical anti-inflammatory medications may be used.

3. Red rash on the face from a reaction to taking certain medications.

The use of certain medications can cause a sunburn-like reaction on the face, causing redness. For example, the use of hydrocortisone cream, a topical steroid , can cause this type of skin reaction if used for a long time. The medication must be discontinued before the symptoms improve.

4. Red rash on the face from atopic dermatitis

This is a condition that can be treated and controlled, but it is not completely curable.

It was found that in older patients, rashes were found in other areas such as folds more than on the face like in infants. Patients must always keep their skin moisturized and avoid things that dry the skin, such as washing their face or taking a bath with warm water.

During an exacerbation, topical medications are often required to reduce inflammation in the skin.

5. Red rash on the face from psoriasis

Psoriasis is a condition in which skin cells are produced faster than normal, causing raised, thick, red patches on many parts of the body. It may also cause a red, flaky rash on the face.

If it occurs on the face, it may occur in the same area as seborrheic dermatitis, eyelids, or temples.

6. Red rash on the face from Rosacea

Red face is a disease in which the face becomes easily red, especially in the middle of the face, or has red, swollen bumps, or visible blood vessels under the skin.

The exact cause of the disease is still unknown, but there are many assumptions, such as changes in blood vessels on the skin, abnormal immune system stimulation, ultraviolet light, facial hair, abnormal physical structure of the skin that has the function of protecting the skin, etc.

Triggers for this blushing condition include eating spicy or hot foods, alcohol, hot weather, sunlight, emotions, or exercise.

For Thai people, this disease is not as common as in Westerners. Treatment includes both topical and oral medications, and avoidance of triggers.

7. Red rash on the face from spider veins under the skin.

Spider veins under the skin of the face are a condition that occurs due to chronic unprotected sun exposure. When the skin is exposed to the sun for many years, spider veins under the skin can form, causing facial redness. Certain types of laser treatment may be required.

8. Red rash on the face from shingles

Shingles is caused by a virus that is triggered when the body’s immune system is weakened, immunocompromised, has certain illnesses, or takes certain medications, as well as stress or lack of rest.

It can occur on the face. Since it is a disease that follows a nerve, it usually occurs on one side of the face, causing blisters on a red surface and a burning sensation.

Pain or redness may precede the appearance of blisters. One thing to watch out for with shingles on the face, especially the upper part, is that there may also be inflammation in the eyes or ears, so it is best to see a hospital for treatment.

9. Red rash on the face from Lupus

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect many systems in the body, such as joint pain, kidney, lung, nervous system, etc.

10. Red rash on the face from some cancers

A red rash on the face can be caused by cancer, but it is rare. It is usually a cancer that involves the lymphatic system of the skin, such as CTCL (Sézary syndrome is a type of T-cell cutaneous lymphoma).

The reason why skin rashes are common is because T-cells are found in large numbers on the skin. The appearance of the skin rash may look like dermatitis, but if it has been going on for a long time and has not improved, you should see a doctor, such as redness that has been going on for more than 2 weeks and has not gone away.

Since facial redness can have many causes as mentioned above. And can also be caused by many other causes. It is recommended to be examined and diagnosed by a dermatologist in order to obtain the correct and targeted treatment.
