Let's talk about hormone-dependent dermatitis today.

Cause+manifestation

What is hormone-dependent dermatitis?

Long-term improper external use of hormone-containing products leads to skin barrier damage, which in turn leads to Y syndrome symptoms, such as dryness, redness, rash and so on. Only by continuing to use hormone products can it be alleviated, and it will rebound after stopping using it. This is hormone dependence.

The difference between hormone-dependent dermatitis and allergy

Allergy can generally be recovered by stopping using related products.

Hormone dependence will rebound if it is stopped.

Causes of hormone-dependent dermatitis

1. Misuse of hormone drugs

2. Use cosmetics with illegally added hormone ingredients without knowing it.

Manifestations of hormone-dependent dermatitis

1. The epidermis and dermis become thinner.

Hormones will eventually make the stratum corneum thinner and break the barrier by interfering with the differentiation of epidermis.

2. Redness: blood vessels are exposed

The decrease of dermal collagen, coupled with the thinning of epidermis, leads to the exposure of blood vessels.

3. Folliculitis/infection

Local skin immunity is weakened.

Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi are more likely to invade and reproduce.

4. Hormone dependence

Criteria for judging hormone-dependent dermatitis

Long-term hormone use

Form dependence

Without these two elements, it cannot be considered as hormone-dependent dermatitis.

Don't think that the skin damage and sensitivity caused by the wrong skin care method are caused by hormones ~
