What does a flaky spot on the face look like?
A red spot may appear from time to time, and turn into a constant problem that causes a lot of trouble. The skin in the area of โโthis irritation becomes quite rough and rough to the touch. Often even light touches of it cause discomfort. Dry skin flakes exfoliate with plates, and the place of exfoliation nibbles and itches.
How long the red spots on the face itch and hurt
The condition of peeling of the skin can last a long time, up to several years, while causing severe discomfort and natural psychological problems.
And what if the advice of friends and regular lubrication with baby cream cannot help you? And the face is covered with red spots, which, despite all your attempts to alleviate the condition, peel and hurt. The option, as you already guessed, is one - immediately contact a dermatologist. In this case, self-medication is useless and can only worsen the situation.
What causes spots on the face?
If you have a red spot on your face peeling off and causing an unpleasant sensation, then the reason for this can be many factors:
- an allergic reaction to medicines, cosmetics, food, pet hair, ultraviolet radiation, seasonal changes in the weather, etc. (the list can be very large);
- demodecosis (a disease caused by a microscopic tick, Demodex, which lives in almost all of us, but actively multiplies only in the case of a strong weakening of the immune system as a result of chronic diseases);
- disorders of the nervous system;
- gastrointestinal tract diseases;
- the manifestation of vitamin deficiency;
- fungal skin diseases and many more other problems.
Symptoms will tell
The source of the problem fundamentally affects how this redness will appear on the face. If it occurs periodically and appears not only on the face, then, most likely, we are faced with an allergic reaction. And if a red spot on the face peels off constantly, then this may be one of the symptoms of diseases of the liver or gall bladder.
The excitable nervous system, which is also subjected to frequent stresses, can also lead to skin disease, manifested in redness, the appearance of itchy, wet sores, periodically covered with a rough crust. This disease is called nervous eczema.
Do not self-medicate!

In addition to exacerbating the problem, it will not lead to anything good. If a red spot on your face peels off - this is not a cosmetic problem, but an occasion to consult a dermatologist, who, in turn, will tell you what other specialist you need. Because often the treatment of such symptoms should be complex. Be patient and good luck!
