How many days does it take for a facial mask allergy to heal itself? How to first aid for a facial mask allergy

Facial mask is a skin care product. There are many brands of facial masks on the market. When choosing a facial mask, we must choose one that suits us, otherwise we will have allergies and other symptoms. So how many days will it take for a facial mask allergy to heal itself? How to treat a facial mask allergy with first aid?

If you want your skin to repair itself after a mask allergy, that is, to heal itself, it depends on the severity of the allergy and the severity of the rash caused by the skin allergy. If it is only slightly red and itchy on the face, as long as you stop using the mask, pay attention to eating less irritating things, and generally apply facial moisturizer, it will recover in about 3-7 days. If the allergy is more serious, there will be obvious large patches of erythema, more red bumps, and severe itching and burning on the face. It may be difficult to recover on your own. Even if you can recover, it will take a long time. In most cases, if the allergic reaction is more severe, there will usually be a gradual worsening process. During this process, it is recommended to actively intervene and treat with medication, and use external anti-allergic ointments to actively reduce the allergic reaction, rather than letting it heal itself regardless of the severity of the disease. If your skin's repair ability is not strong or the allergy is more serious, it will become more and more serious, and even large pieces of peeling or blisters will appear on the face. It is more difficult to treat, so it depends on the severity of the allergy to decide whether to use medication, or you can observe whether it can heal itself. Patients with mask allergies should pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy, irritating, seafood, drinking, and smoking. They should pay attention to personal facial cleanliness and avoid excessive use of cosmetics and skin care products to increase the burden on the skin.

When you are allergic to a facial mask, there will generally be local redness and swelling reactions, accompanied by tingling or itching. The first step in first aid is to remove the mask first, and then wash it with distilled water or clean water. If the local rash is relatively mild, with only mild erythema or scattered red papules, we can first go to the pharmacy to buy some calamine lotion for local application. You can also take some anti-allergic drugs orally, such as levocetirizine oral solution, loratadine tablets, epinastine, etc. If there is obvious redness and swelling, or even exudation and blisters, it is recommended to go to the hospital to see a doctor in time. The doctor can choose intravenous or oral hormones according to the severity of the rash, and use some of the anti-allergic drugs mentioned above. Then use normal saline or mineral water for wet compresses locally, six layers of gauze, without dripping water, then apply for 30 minutes each time, 2 to 3 times a day, for 2 to 3 days first. After the local acute inflammation is eliminated, replace it with recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel and other moisturizing and repair products for symptomatic treatment.

After the mask is allergic, the face may have a certain amount of edema, and different degrees of erythema and itching symptoms may occur. At this time, you can use normal saline cold compresses appropriately, or you can apply glucocorticoids appropriately, which can quickly reduce inflammation and swelling. For example, you can temporarily apply desonide cream or hydrocortisone butyrate cream. Of course, it is also necessary to take appropriate oral antihistamines to control the continued development of facial inflammation. Generally, you can take appropriate second-generation antihistamines orally, such as levocetirizine hydrochloride, epinastine or loratadine. You can also take appropriate oral glucocorticoids to quickly reduce facial inflammation and edema, and take appropriate oral dexamethasone or prednisone, etc.

Facial mask allergy is a kind of local contact dermatitis. In this case, you should first stop using the mask, clean your face, and remove allergens as much as possible. You can use a cold towel to apply cold compresses multiple times, and pay attention to avoid spicy and irritating foods. Generally, mild allergies can be relieved. If the allergy is more serious, such as obvious swelling and discomfort, you also need to take some anti-allergic drugs topically or orally under the guidance of a doctor.
