There are four types of sinuses enclosed in the human skulls. These are named according to the bones where they are located.
Ethmoid sinuses, for example, are located on both sides of the ethmoid bone, the bone that separates the brain from the nasal cavity. The frontal sinuses are situated in the region of the forehead, thus the name, and the maxillary sinuses are those that are located in the cheekbones on either side of the nostrils. The sphenoid sinuses, being located within the body of the sphenoid bone, can be found in the inner sections of the nose, behind the eyes.
Functions of the Sphenoid Sinus
Although the functions of the sinuses are not entirely understood, these are presumed to help in lightening the weight of the skull, providing cushion to the brain in case of impact, resonating the voice during speech, and providing a route for mucus to drain. The last function is particularly true for the sphenoid sinus. The sphenoid sinuses

Accidents involving hazardous materials can occur anywhere chemical substances are manufactured, transported or stored. Chemical emergencies occur on highways, manufacturing facilities, pipelines and railways.

If you tend towards allergies, this may also include having sensitive skin that erupts into eczema patches due to having reactions to certain foods and environmental chemicals. Fortunately we can control what we put in our mouths as well as what products we use in our homes. When you go out in public you may be around people who wear heavy perfumes or use hair sprays with chemicals that you have a reaction to. In your own home, you have the ability to control what you eat, breathe and experience.
Aside from that, you should also look after your skin from the outside. You can do this by putting moisturizers to soothe your skin and minimize inflammation. This will also help in preventing irritants that will worsen the problem. However, make sure that you will only use moisturizers that have natural ingredients to ensure that you will not get irritated by the chemicals that will only worsen the problem.
For those with a history or problem with eczema rashes or patches it

In babies eczema usually appears first on their scalp and face (if around the mouth, it may well be a sign of food allergy / intolerance). It then spreads to the rest of the body affecting mainly the insides of the wrists, elbows and the backs of the knees (the skin in these areas is more sensitive and moist due to sweating).
The standard treatment for eczema involves an administration of antihistamines (to relieve the itching by suppressing the production of histamine) and an application of corticosteroid creams (to suppress the inflammation in the affected area).
Inflammation however serves an important purpose since it is the body's primary response to infection, allergens or injury. It provides us with a warning sign that something is irritating the body and it calls for the immune system to deal with it. In eczema, inflammation is the body's attempt to fight the allergens, pushing them out of the system so that they cannot cause any serious harm inside the body. T
