Doctor's Answers 1

Aesthetic

Facial redness is often due to a combination of facial sensitivity, irritation and/or ongoing skin inflammation.

To treat your facial redness, having a personal consultation with your doctor is required. Your doctor must first diagnose the underlying cause or causes of your facial redness after conducting a thorough history and physical examination.

Only when the cause and contributing factors have been identified, an effective treatment is prescribed. Effective treatments may include:

Gentle cleanser
Moisturizers
Topical medications to reduce inflammation
Oral medications to reduce skin inflammation
Vascular lasers. They may help if abnormal blood vessels are contributing to the redness

Hope this helps!

When are oral steroids given for hives? (photo)

Sorry to hear that your child has developed hives after an episode of viral illness. I agree with Dr Colin Theng that a viral infection is most likely the trigger for this episode and antihistamines such as cetirizine would be the mainstay of treatment. I would usually optimise the dose of antihistamines for good control. If the maximum dose is still not able to control your child's hives, then a course of prednisolone may need to be considered. These medicines will help to switch off the activity of mast cells which have gone into overdrive, causing the appearance of hives.
