Redness is a temporary discoloration of the face following a blood flow that causes blood vessels to dilate. However, they can also be skin manifestations that appear as scarlet patches or spots. Redness can appear on all parts of the body and has multiple origins. Among the causes of redness are the hypersensitivity of the skin to external factors such as the sun, spices, alcohol and tobacco. However, redness can also have psychological and genetic origins, often pronounced in individuals with low self-confidence. In addition, redness can also come from allergies, which are accompanied by the appearance of acne and pruritus. Eczema is a concrete example of this case and this pathology presents with peeling of the skin as well as itching. Finally, redness is also caused by skin infections.
Symptoms of redness
Redness manifests itself in different ways depending on the individual's metabolism. They usually start with the appearance of small red patches, which then become irritating and the skin gradually reddens. In the case of an allergy, the skin is irritated and it may have a build-up of subcutaneous fluid. Redness appears spontaneously and becomes more pronounced as the skin is scratched. If the redness is of psychological origin, it can occur following a stressful situation or accompanying hot flashes.
