Facial Rashes

Definition

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.

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.      

Causes

There are many possible causes of a facial rash. Facial rashes can be caused by illnesses such as viruses (e.g chicken pox) or systemic conditions (e.g. lupus), by allergies such as hives or eczema, parasites like lice in scabies. It is also cause by reactions to chemicals, and by numerous other causes. People who get migraines or cluster headaches can also get with facial rash. Sinus, ear and eye infections can cause it. A toothache can make your face hurt. And arthritis in the neck can cause discomfort in the face.

Symptoms

Common symptoms are-

• Emotional stress
• Low humidity
• Lupus
• Dry skin
• Friction Rash from clothes
• Heat and Sweating
• Allergies and
• Infection.

Many of these symptoms can begin before the weakness of the facial muscles becomes apparent. If a rash breaks out around the face or ear, this may represent Ramsay-Hunt syndrome. If there is hearing loss or ear drainage, this may suggest an acute or chronic middle ear infection.

Treatment

For the ultimate treatment of your skin, consider using Aloe and Vitamin E creams, as an after treatment, once you have reduced the facial 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.

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.
