Red face skin



Redness of the facial skin can be temporary, when the vessels expand due to excessive exposure to high or low temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, nervous or emotional stress. As a rule, it passes quickly when the influence of these factors is eliminated.

When temporary redness of the face is recommended: 1) rinsing the face with cold water, which contributes to the rapid narrowing of the vessels; 2) compresses-alternate wetting of the skin with a hot towel (3 times) and cold (1 time); 3) taking sedatives and medicinal herbs; 4) whitening masks.

However, in the case, reddening of the facial skin is not a local temporary, but a continuous long-term character, then we can speak about the presence of serious functional disorders in the body and, in particular, a disease such as rosacea. It is accompanied by a sustained expansion of the vessels and is associated with an incorrect operation of the trigeminal nerve.

Concomitant factors to the development of rosacea are:

- chronic stress;

- improper nutrition (plenty of oily, smoked and salty foods, tea, coffee);

- smoking and abuse of alcoholic beverages;

- work associated with excessive exposure to low or high temperatures and direct sunlight;

- hormonal changes in the body;

- Violations in the work of the cardiovascular system, thyroid and gastrointestinal tract.

Be sure to contact an experienced dermatologist who, after consulting with a neurologist, endocrinologist and gastroenterologist and conducting appropriate studies to identify the causes of the disease, will prescribe a course of treatment. As a rule, it consists of the following activities:

1. Strict diet and rejection of bad habits.

2. Compliance with the regime of work and rest, psycho-emotional unloading.

3. Admission of special medicines and vitamin complexes.

4. Proper skin care: the exclusion of cosmetics containing alcohol, acetone, oils and hormones; refusal of cosmetic massage and steaming; use of cosmetics with the label "for sensitive skin", sun and frost protection creams.

5. Various physiotherapeutic procedures (for example, electrocoagulation-the burning of the enlarged vessels of the face with electric current).
