Do you suffer from a red eczema rash? Unfortunately, this itchy skin condition can appear anywhere on the body – even the face. Whether the rash affects the eyes, nose, chin, lips, or cheeks, having red eczema on the face can be uncomfortable, painful, and even a cause of embarrassment. Read on to discover what to do about red eczema on the face.
Please keep in mind that although what we discuss in this post can relieve eczema, we are in no way medical professionals. If you’re experiencing severe eczema symptoms like an infection, it is best to seek medical advice immediately.
Types of Facial Eczema
Atopic Dermatitis: This is the most common type of eczema. While it most often affects children, it can also develop in adults. It typically develops on the chin, cheeks, lips, and eyes and is characterized by red, itchy patches of skin.
Contact Dermatitis: This type of eczema is characterized by a red rash that develops when the body comes into contact with a substance in the environment. For eyelid and facial eczema, this substance can be anything from a makeup or beauty product to pet fur.
Seborrheic Dermatitis: You will notice seborrheic dermatitis around the hairline, in the eyebrows, around the ears, and on the sides of the nose. The affected areas tend to be oilier areas of the body.
Symptoms of Red Eczema
In addition to any redness or blotchiness, you may notice the following symptoms:
- Rough or bumpy skin
- Blisters that may ooze
- Intense itchiness
- Cracked skin
- Dryness
