Ointment for skin allergies - types, list for children and adults

When some problems arise with the face, this situation becomes very unpleasant for a person. Allergies on the face and skin not only spoil the aesthetic appearance of people, but also cause them a lot of discomfort with their symptoms.

As a rule, allergic reactions occur due to internal problems of the body associated with disruption of the immune system. But in most cases, systemic therapy can be avoided with the help of external antiallergic agents, such as hormonal and non-hormonal allergy creams.

Which ointments and in what cases are best to use?

To treat the manifestations of allergies on the skin, ointments of hormonal and non-hormonal origin are used. Each drug is selected depending on the stage of the disease and its symptoms.

Non-hormonal ointments for allergies are used for a mild stage of the disease, not accompanied by other symptoms, but only by small foci of rashes on the skin. Medicines begin their therapeutic effects immediately after application. A positive result is observed approximately 1-2 hours after application.

Corticosteroids, or hormonal ointments, are used for severe forms of allergies. It is recommended to use this type of product for no more than 10 days. You should not prescribe these drugs yourself, as they have a large number of contraindications and cause unwanted reactions in the body.

If there are signs of suppuration, a strong inflammatory process with suppuration has developed, antibiotic ointments are prescribed.

Types of skin rashes

If you have an allergy on your face, your doctor can tell you what to apply to such rashes after examining the painful changes on your skin that you have as a result of an allergic reaction. So, among the most common skin diseases of this nature are the following:

• allergic eczema;
• hives;
• neurodermatitis and atopic dermatitis.

Allergic eczema can be identified by the rough and rough red patches that appear on the skin. They cause severe itching and over time, such rashes create erosions on the skin that peel and begin to become wet. In most cases, eczema appears on the face and hands, but its appearance is also recorded on other areas of the skin.

One of the most common allergy symptoms that appears on the skin is hives. It is characterized by the presence of blisters that resemble nettle burns. As a result, the patient experiences severe itching, which causes a lot of trouble. Over time, such blisters can turn into very large plaques.

Another sign of allergies is atopic dermatitis. It can occur if a person who has an increased level of sensitivity to certain allergens comes into contact with it. As a result, vesicles can form on the skin, causing pain and itching. If the case is severe, watery blisters may appear on the skin.

There is another type of skin rash that occurs during allergies - neurodermatitis. It is also characterized by itching and papular rashes. At the same time, the skin becomes dry and rough. The skin plaques themselves are usually found in the popliteal and ulnar fossae, as well as on the neck.

There are other types of skin rashes that appear as a result of allergies, but these are the most common. In any case, after their appearance, it is imperative to consult not only an allergist, but also a dermatologist. The fact is that skin diseases can masquerade as allergies; it will be very difficult to distinguish them from it “by eye”, which will affect the quality of treatment for the patient.

So, for example, when asked whether it is possible to smear an allergy with brilliant green, an allergist will answer “no,” but for dropsy, brilliant green is used without fail. Therefore, without an accurate diagnosis, the skin diseases listed above cannot be cured. You should always remember this and not self-medicate.

Hormonal ointments

Corticoids help to quickly relieve the inflammatory process in eczema and atopic dermatitis. These drugs interrupt the chemical reactions that lead to skin inflammation. However, hormonal ointments should be used with caution, since most of them, if dosages are not observed and long-term use, negatively affect the adrenal glands.

The most dangerous are those that, after application, are absorbed into the blood, leading to the accumulation of hormones in it. This process causes weakening of the immune system. Therefore, hormonal drugs should be used with caution and only in severe stages of allergies.

Corticoids should be discontinued gradually, reducing the dosage of the drug or mixing it with cream. Otherwise, withdrawal syndrome may develop. So, here are the most effective hormonal ointments for allergies.

Advantan (540 RUR)

Advantan belongs to the new generation of corticoids. This allows you to use the product for a long period - 2-3 months - and not be afraid of negative reactions from the body.

The ointment is applied exclusively to the inflammatory focus in a thin layer (gently rubbed in). It is not advisable to touch healthy areas of the skin.

• The frequency of skin treatment is 1-2 times a day.
• To treat facial allergies in adults, use the product for no more than 7 days.

Advantan should not be used for viral skin lesions, manifestations of tuberculosis and syphilis, rosacea, periorbital type dermatitis (damage to the eyelids and area around the eyes).

Sinaflan (20 rub.)

One of the cheapest ointments for allergies, but no less effective. Sinaflan has antipruritic, antiallergic and anti-inflammatory effects. This ointment should be used with extreme caution, since it has a lot of contraindications and leads to undesirable effects on almost all organs and systems.

It should only be applied to the site of the rash 1-2 times a day. Treatment should not exceed 10 days. For allergies on the face, the product is used for no more than 1 day.

It is not recommended to apply Sinaflan in the form of a compress. Children are allowed to use the ointment after 2 years in minimal dosages and only as prescribed by a dermatologist or pediatrician.

The product is applied to the affected areas once a day. The duration of treatment is determined by the dermatologist depending on the degree of damage and the individual characteristics of the patient.

General concepts of pharmacology

Any drug is always available in a specific release form; for a pharmacologist, this is a dosage form.
In other words, this is a convenient state of the drug in which it can have the most pronounced effect. Dosage forms are therefore soft, solid, and liquid. Soft forms include creams, pastes, gels, ointments, liniments. Gel – here the consistency is jelly-like, elastic and plastic, translucent, without fat. The gel can be taken orally and even injected under the skin. Krem is a type of soft ointment, to which water is added in addition to fat or oil. It always has only a softening effect on the skin, nothing more; has a lighter consistency.

The role of ointments and creams is increasing because children under 5 years of age practically do not undergo SIT (specific immunotherapy), which is considered quite effective in adults. Therefore, we can only rely on local treatment. Children's skin is always very delicate, especially in infants, and compliance with the dose, frequency of application and choice of the drug itself is always important. It often happens that an effective antiallergic ointment suddenly does not work for a child with allergies.

From cracks

Abrasions and cracks on the nipples often spoil the beauty of breastfeeding a child for a woman. There are many reasons for this condition: lack of vitamins, insufficient preparation of the mammary glands for lactation, incorrect position of the baby during feeding, and many others. To prevent painful sensations from interfering with enjoying the process, use Bepanten ointment when caring for the breasts of a nursing mother. Apply the product to the nipples 2-3 times a day, but do not forget to wash off before feeding so that the product does not get into the baby’s mouth.

For bruises

Hematomas and bruises are not the best decorations for appearance, especially on the face. The cause of their occurrence is damage to soft tissues, which occurs from a blow or bruise.

From diathesis

Red cheeks in a baby are not always an indicator of health. Sometimes such a blush is a symptom of diathesis that occurs against the background of allergies. Red spots, peeling, and rashes cause a lot of anxiety for mothers and babies. Bepanten quickly relieves itching and removes redness, but it is usually prescribed together with anti-inflammatory drugs (traditional or steroid). The ointment has a drying effect, actively moisturizing the baby's skin.

The body of newborns is not sufficiently adapted to the effects of the environment, so immediately after birth, infants suffer from prickly heat.

To do this, after water procedures, apply the drug to problem areas, but avoid contact with the eyes.

Women often use Bepanten ointment during pregnancy, because during this condition the skin stretches and stretch marks form. To avoid finding multiple stretch marks on the skin after the maternity hospital, you should engage in timely prevention.

The use of the ointment is allowed up to 6 times a day, depending on allergic manifestations. The course of treatment is prescribed by the doctor.

Application of Bepanthen against wrinkles

It is necessary to use Bepanten or Panthenol for the face against wrinkles in accordance with your skin type. For dry epidermis and the area under the eyes, the drug in the form of an emulsion is well suited. After applying it twice a day (morning and evening), there is no need to apply other products.

Oily facial skin prone to rashes will better respond to the effect of Bepanten in the form of a spray. The drug is applied once a day to clean skin from a distance of about 20 cm. The main rule is not to overdo it with the frequency of application in order to avoid peeling of the epidermis.

Bepanthen cream is an ideal option for dry skin. Thanks to its moisturizing properties, it nourishes the layers of the dermis well, smoothing out wrinkles. In addition, the product heals microcracks and wounds that often form on dry skin.

As for Bepanten in the form of an ointment for wrinkles, it is better not to use it to eliminate them or in other cosmetic procedures. The drug has an excessively dense texture. When applied to the face, it clogs the pores, which leads to the formation of sebaceous plugs and, as a result, to a decrease in the supply of oxygen to the dermis. It shows signs of early wilting, visually adding a few extra years.

In addition to excellent wound-healing and soothing properties, Bepanten for the face is indispensable for women seeking to maintain their youth. It nourishes, moisturizes and restores the elasticity of facial skin, and smoothes out wrinkles without significant side effects.

Correct treatment

In order for skin allergy therapy to be as effective as possible, it is recommended to combine treatment methods that provide a comprehensive effect on all factors that cause allergies.

Treatment of skin manifestations includes the following measures:

• Eliminating the allergen. Avoid any contact with allergens.
• Diet. The peculiarity of the diet is to exclude from the diet foods that belong to the group of allergens: citrus fruits, strawberries, coffee, chocolate, food additives of group “E”, etc.
• Pathogenetic and etiotropic treatment . The essence of this method is to influence the development of the pathological process. This form of treatment includes tablets, injection solutions, syrups.
• Symptomatic treatment. This treatment effectively eliminates the effects of allergies: redness, rash and itching. As a rule, for skin allergies, ointments, creams, gels, and powders are used. Since their effect is local, complex treatment is recommended to achieve a good result.
• Traditional methods. In folk medicine, allergic manifestations on the skin are treated with various herbal decoctions, which are used in the form of lotions and baths. Contact dermatitis and urticaria are treated with medicinal baths with the addition of herbs: chamomile, calendula, string, Jerusalem artichoke leaves. An excellent result can also be observed after taking a bath with a decoction of bay leaves. At the end of this procedure, you need to treat the affected area with zinc or hydrocortisone ointment.

A complex combination of traditional treatment methods and traditional medicine leads to a more effective and accelerated therapeutic effect.

Signs of allergic manifestations

The skin of the face is often exposed to ultraviolet radiation or frosty air. It becomes weathered, peels, and becomes covered with red spots. But these troubles can also be signs of an allergy to face cream.

It is necessary to sound the alarm and seek help from an allergist if, after replacing a cosmetic product, the following persist on your face:

• red spots of different shapes and sizes,
• constant itching in the area where the skin is damaged,
• dryness, peeling, soreness,
• swelling of the soft tissues of the face,
• small rash,
• eczema.

Symptoms of an allergy on the face
A negative reaction to an irritant appears within half an hour. This allows you to accurately determine what caused these symptoms.

A properly selected remedy against allergies on the face begins to act just as quickly. Depending on the existing skin damage, the doctor will prescribe a cream or an ointment with a thicker consistency.

Important! A remedy for facial allergies should not contain substances that can aggravate the course of the disease. Ointment or cream should be used if there are external manifestations of the disease.

Antiallergic eye ointments

Review

All ointments for allergies in adults can be divided into 2 groups - non-hormonal and hormonal. Each type has its own pros and cons that should be taken into account during therapy.

Anti-allergy ointment should be selected individually, depending on the severity of allergic manifestations and the characteristics of the skin.

Hormonal

Hormonal ointment contains corticosteroids. It has a complex effect: it stops the production of histamine, removes itching and inflammation, and relieves external signs. Hormonal ointments should not be used for a long period of time. They are most effective for severe forms of allergies, such as dermatitis or eczema.

Due to the hormone content, this type of cream should not be used in children.

Hormonal drugs:

• Hydrocortisone.
• Afloderm.
• Lorinden.
• Lokoid Lipocrem.
• Elokom.
• Elidel.
• Gistan N.
• Akriderm.
• Beloderm.
• Sinaflan.
• Flucinar.
• Dermovate.
• Triderm.

In case of extensive damage, these anti-allergenic agents are not used on the face.

Non-hormonal

Non-hormonal ointments for allergies are effective if the symptoms are mild and the disease is mild. They cope well with allergic manifestations, but the effect is noticeable 3-4 days after the start of use. The advantage of non-hormonal drugs is their safety and the absence of severe side effects. They do not affect the functioning of internal organs.

Most non-hormonal drugs are suitable for treating allergies in pregnant, lactating women and newborns.

All drugs in this group can be divided into 3 subgroups: antihistamines, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and skin-softening ointments.

Antihistamines for facial skin allergies are one of the best non-hormonal drugs. They effectively cope with itching and redness, since they suppress the production of histamine, which provokes an allergic reaction. Good antihistamine ointments:

• Fenistil. Helps get rid of the symptoms of allergic dermatitis.
• Psilo-Balm. It is an effective remedy for swelling on the face.

Moisturizing and healing ointments do not directly affect the cause of the allergic reaction, but fight the symptoms. They are suitable for mild facial allergies. For severe allergic reactions, they are best used in combination with hormonal agents.

Effective drugs:

• Bepanten. Accelerates skin healing, suitable for pregnant women and newborns.
• D-Panthenol. Soothes and heals the skin, suitable for any type of facial allergy.
• La Cree. Heals damage and relieves irritation. Effective for atopic dermatitis.
• Nezulin. Cream-gel eliminates irritation, redness and itching. It is a natural remedy and therefore has no side effects.
• We see. Restores damaged skin.
• Radevit Active. Increases the regenerative function of the epidermis.

In case of severe redness and swelling, anti-inflammatory drugs should be used. Ointment for allergies on the face, which has an anti-inflammatory effect:

• Gel Nise. Soothes, relieves itching and pain.
• Salicylic ointment. Effective for allergic rashes that are accompanied by inflammation of the skin. The course of treatment is no more than 21 days.
• Skin Cap. This is an expensive but effective remedy that does not cause side effects. The course of treatment is 1 month. Before applying the product, you need to treat the skin with an antiseptic.
• Indovazin gel. It has a pronounced analgesic effect, eliminates redness and swelling. Can be used for no more than 10 days.
• Radevit. Relieves inflammation, eliminates itching, increases the protective function of the skin.
• Zinc ointment. Particularly effective for weeping wounds. Has a drying effect.

One of the best remedies is Skin-Cap. It is effective for seborrheic and atopic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis.

Allergy to ointment

There are situations when the human body reacts sensitively to the ointments used, or more precisely, to the components included in their composition. Therefore, if, after using the product, characteristic signs appear on the skin in the form of increased allergy symptoms, you should stop treatment and consult a dermatologist to prescribe another drug.

It should also be said about the possibility of skin allergies to heparin ointment. It is known that the main active component of this drug, heparin, promotes the production of bradycardin, which in most cases causes tissue swelling and other symptoms similar to allergic ones.

If an allergic reaction occurs after using the cream, you should take an antihistamine (Zyrtec, Suprastin, etc.) as an ambulance.

In no case should you ignore a rash that appears on the skin due to an allergy. If treatment is not started in time, this can lead to serious complications in the form of suppuration of the affected skin areas and anaphylactic shock.

Causes of allergic rashes

Most people, when blisters, abscesses, redness and other painful changes appear on the skin, do not attach any importance to this, attributing them to insect bites or mechanical damage of an unknown nature. However, they, unfortunately, do not pay attention to the increased itching that accompanies such rashes. They begin to take it seriously only when it is not possible to remove it either with the medications available in the home medicine cabinet or with traditional medicine.

In this case, the patient is faced with the question of what can be used to smear the allergy, since only antihistamines can help alleviate his condition in this situation. At the same time, it is very difficult to independently distinguish allergies from other diseases, so before consulting a doctor, you can only use medications at random. It is possible to accurately determine the type of allergy a patient has only after he has passed allergy tests and, first of all, skin tests.

Thus, if an allergy appears on the skin, you can decide what to apply to it only by determining the cause of its occurrence. Otherwise, the treatment may not have the desired effect. Modern medicine distinguishes the following types of allergies:

• contact;
• mixed.

Contact allergy occurs as a local reaction that occurs in response to exposure to an allergen substance. In this case, the culprit of the disease is immunoglobulins E, which cease to be released into the bloodstream, and the painful reaction occurs due to the increased sensitivity of T-lymphocytes, which are located in the patient’s skin cells.

Mixed allergies are a consequence of the manifestation of different types of the described disease, while skin rashes may be just one of its symptoms. As a result, this type of allergy is treated as one of its symptoms, and not as an entire disease. This is worth keeping in mind when choosing medications to take.

In any case, before deciding what kind of allergy you have and what to apply to your skin in this regard, you need to carefully examine the rashes that appear on your skin. In addition, it is necessary to interrupt contact with the allergen as quickly as possible, for example, stop using suspicious cosmetics or exclude citrus fruits from the diet.
