Redness

Skin redness can be caused by various factors and conditions.

Causes of skin redness

Here are some common causes of skin redness:

Inflammation

Skin inflammation, such as dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis, often results in redness. Inflammation is the body's response to various irritants or allergens, and redness is one of the visible signs of inflammation.
Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that often manifests as facial redness, especially on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. People with rosacea may also have dilated blood vessels and a rash.
Sunbathing

Sun exposure can cause skin redness, known as sunburn. In addition, prolonged sun exposure can cause permanent redness and dilated blood vessels, called erythema or telangiectasia.
Allergies

Allergic reactions to food, medications, cosmetics, or other substances can cause reddening of the skin. This is commonly called contact dermatitis.
Infections

Skin infections, such as folliculitis (infection of the hair follicles), cellulitis (bacterial infection of the deep layers of the skin), or impetigo (bacterial infection of the skin surface), can cause redness in the affected areas.
Hormonal changes

Hormonal changes, such as those during pregnancy or menopause, can cause redness and rashes on the skin.
Irritation

Using aggressive cosmetic products or detergents, as well as excessive rubbing or scratching of the skin, can cause redness.

Types of skin redness

Skin redness can be caused by various factors and conditions:

Erythema

Erythema is a general term for redness of the skin that can be caused by a variety of factors, including inflammation, allergic reactions, irritation, or increased blood circulation.
Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic condition that causes persistent facial redness, usually on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. It can also be accompanied by broken blood vessels and a rash.
Blood vessels on the surface of the skin

Blood vessels on the surface of the skin (telangiectasia) may become dilated and visible, causing redness. This condition can be the result of sun exposure, genetics or other factors.
Eczema

Eczema or atopic dermatitis can cause itchy and red skin, usually accompanied by dryness and flaking.
Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes red patches covered with silvery scales. These conditions often appear on the knees, elbows, and scalp.
Heat rash

Heat rash is often caused by exposure of the skin to heat and friction, such as diaper rash in babies or sunburn in adults.
Contact dermatitis

Contact dermatitis is skin inflammation caused by contact with irritating substances, such as chemicals, plants, or metals.

How does blushing affect self-confidence?

Skin redness can significantly affect an individual’s self-confidence. Intense redness can cause feelings of shame and discomfort. People with redness may fear being judged or ridiculed, which can significantly damage their self-confidence.

This is precisely why people suffering from flushing may withdraw from social activities to avoid uncomfortable situations. This can lead to feelings of isolation and denying yourself opportunities to socialize and develop self-confidence.

People who deal with chronic redness may develop a negative perception of their own appearance. This can affect their general confidence and self-acceptance.

First and foremost, you need to protect your skin well from the sun – use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high UV protection factor.
