What to do if ringworm and peeling on forehead

Female friends will do facial care for a long time after washing their faces every day. Some female friends will carefully observe their skin at this time to see if there is anything different from usual. Ringworm is usually a symptom that only occurs in children, but some adults also get ringworm. So what should you do if ringworm on your forehead causes peeling? Everyone must go to a regular hospital to check what the cause is and what medicine is better.

1. Many dangers: Not all “immediate results” are good

Due to frequent washing and sunlight exposure on the face, the risk of skin rashes and ringworms on the face rarely occurs. However, during the acute eruption period of ringworm on the face or when skin lesions are widespread, the rash may also appear on the face, or it may extend from the skin lesions on the head. Sometimes damage to the head and face can occur alone.

It is common on the forehead, cheeks, dorsum, eyebrows, behind the ears, ear cavities, and behind the outer ears. Skin lesions are mostly dry, dot-shaped maculopapular rashes or small red spots on the nails, etc., and psoriasis is common on the face.

Many hormonal drugs that are not used indiscriminately on the face have broad-spectrum immune effects and the anti-inflammatory effects of hormones, and are effective in treating psoriasis on the face.

Although the effect is obvious, the disease can recur immediately once the medication is stopped, and severe "hormone dependence" and "rebound phenomenon" will appear, making the disease frequent and gradually worsening. Therefore, patients with facial eczema should keep a clear head and beware of being deceived when seeking treatment for facial eczema.

2. Regular diagnosis and treatment - save your face

(1) Avoid using hormone drugs

After using hormonal drugs on the face, the skin lesions may be infected with bacteria or fungi, which can have serious consequences. Some psoriasis patients will experience worsening symptoms after stopping medication, resulting in small red papules on the face, which are not only itchy but also dry and flaky, causing extreme pain. Localized hirsutism and skin atrophy may also occur, which not only affects the appearance but also makes the skin fragile and sensitive, unable to tolerate external stimuli, and is more likely to develop into severe erythrodermic psoriasis. Patients are advised not to use medication on their face at will.

(2) Avoid direct sunlight

If you have facial eczema and ringworm on your face, you can get more sun exposure, take a walk, etc. However, long-term direct exposure to strong sunlight can easily cause burns to the facial skin and aggravate the condition, so you must try to avoid it.

(3) Keep your face clean

Patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, clean their faces to remove excess dirt and oil, and remember to wash their faces with warm water to avoid irritating the sensitive facial skin and aggravating the symptoms of ringworm.
