Facial Rashes
Facial rash is occurs in middle-aged men and women. Approximately 13 million people in the United States have facial rashes. The cause of Rosacea is unknown. It is sometimes also called as butterfly rash. Mostly facial races are a red, flat facial rash over the bridge of the nose. It is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the face, which may extend to the neck and upper arms.
All facial rashes, by virtue of their visibility, can cause significant distress to the patient and this should never be underestimated. The location, appearance and color of a rash will help your doctor make the diagnosis. Skin rashes come in all forms and sizes.

Facial Rashes Symptoms
Lots of conditions can cause facial pain. People who get migraines or cluster headaches can get it. Sinus, ear and eye infections can cause it. A toothache can make your face hurt. Virtually all infants and young children will get a rash around the mouth and cheeks at some point during their childhood. It usually appears as flat patches, or slightly raised patches, with tiny red bumps scattered around the mouth and chin.
Common symptoms are-
- Emotional stress
- Low humidity
- Lupus
- Dry skin
- Friction Rash from clothes
- Heat and Sweating
- Allergies
- Infection.
Facial Rashes Treatment
- One of the most important considerations in treatment of facial rash is protection of the eye on the affected side. Since the facial nerve controls closure of the eyelid, paralysis of the face can lead to incomplete lid closure and drying of the cornea (the clear covering over the pupil). Even if the eyelid closes incompletely, the cornea is protected by a reflex that causes the eyeball to rotate upwards in the head with attempted eye closure. Use nonprescription decongestants to relieve nasal stuffiness.
- Decongestants can be taken by mouth or used as nose drops or sprays.
- Oral decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), are probably more effective and provide longer relief, but they cause more side effects.
- Sprays and drops provide rapid but temporary relief.
- In resistant cases, isotretinoin 0.5 mg/kg per day for 20 weeks has been used with success. For those suffering irreversible hypertrophy, edema, and telangiectasia, carbon dioxide lasers and intense pulsed light sources are being used to reshape the nose and destroy the vascular lesions caused by this disease.
- For the ultimate treatment of your skin, consider using Aloe and Vitamin E creams, as an after treatment, once you have reduced the acne or rash infection! They both act as skin cell nutrients, to help repair those damaged cells, while colloidal silver keeps skin bacteria from proliferating and causing more damage.
Self-Care Tips for Treat Heat Rash:
- Put corn starch in body creases.
- Take a bath in cool water, without soap, every couple of hours.
- Don't use ointments and creams that can block the sweat gland pores.
- Let your skin air-dry.
- Apply calamine (not Caladryl) lotion to the very itchy spots.
- Stay in a cool, dry area.
