Erythema
Redness, commonly known as flushing, is a condition in which the skin becomes red, usually in response to dilation of blood vessels in the skin. It can occur on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, arms, or legs. Redness can be the result of various factors, such as allergic reactions, trauma, infections, hormonal changes, autoimmune diseases, or excessive sun exposure.
Description of the problem
The causes of flushing can be varied, but one of the most common is the skin’s reaction to environmental or internal factors. Additionally, excessive sunbathing or exposure to hot air can cause post-radiation flushing, which is the result of blood vessels dilating and skin irritation.
The symptoms of flushing can vary depending on the cause and severity of the reaction. They can include skin redness, a burning sensation, itching, pain, or swelling. Flushing can be transient and mild, or it can be chronic and bothersome.
Treatment
The treatment of redness depends on its cause and the severity of symptoms. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes proper skin care, avoiding irritating cosmetics, regular use of sunscreens and avoiding excessive sunbathing. In the case of persistent redness or worsening symptoms, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist, who can diagnose the problem and recommend appropriate treatment.
