What is the reason for red pimples on the face during menstruation?

Red pimples on the face during menstruation are related to diseases such as acne, folliculitis, and eczema. The details are as follows:

1. Acne

The occurrence of acne may be related to the level of androgen in the body and strong secretion of sebaceous glands. Some women may have endocrine disorders during menstruation and eat spicy and stimulating foods, which may lead to this disease. Due to changes in hormones in women's bodies, the sebaceous glands will secrete vigorously, and excessive skin oil may block the hair follicles. The local skin may have yellow-white or red papules, such as papules.

2. Folliculitis

Facial bacterial infection may cause the occurrence of this disease. The decreased immunity and increased estrogen levels of menstruating women may increase the risk of this disease. Bacteria multiply in damaged hair follicles, causing an inflammatory response, inflammatory cell infiltration, and the formation of red hair follicle papules, which look like red papules.

3. Eczema

Changes in women's menstrual hormone levels, immune abnormalities and other factors can cause eczema. Contact with allergic substances such as pollen, dust, and animal dandruff during menstruation can cause the disease. Eczema occurs in exposed areas such as the face, hands, ears, etc. Women with facial eczema have dense red papules on the skin. When combined with infection, pustules and pus exudation may also occur.

In addition to the common diseases mentioned above, there are other possible causes, such as insect bite reactions, contact dermatitis, urticaria, etc. If the above symptoms continue to exist or progressively worsen, you should go to the hospital in time and cooperate with the doctor to complete the physical examination and medical history examination, etc., to clarify the type of disease and carry out standardized treatment according to the disease. The local symptoms of the above diseases can be alleviated or even completely disappear with standardized treatment, so there is generally no need to worry too much.
