Causes of embarrassment and redness of the face, as well as ways to deal with this unpleasant phenomenon. You can easily defeat embarrassment and redness on your own. Competent advice of neuropathologists and psychologists.

Each person blushes differently. Some people just get covered with a slight blush, while others have bright burgundy spots that are visible from afar.

If others in most cases consider the embarrassment thus manifested to be touching and sweet, then the person himself can suffer very much from this peculiarity of his. But do not worry too much, there are several ways to defeat embarrassment and stop blushing. More about them is described below.

Why are we blushing?

In general, facial flushing is a natural reaction of the body to excitement. Most often it manifests itself in young people and girls at a young age. A sharp reddening of the cheeks, neck, forehead, eyes and any other areas is due to the peculiarities of the nervous regulation of the smallest blood vessels. When a person is worried, their lumen instantly expands and blood rushes to the skin in large quantities.

If for some people, for example, only the cheeks can turn red, then for others, the eyes, ears, nose, forehead, neck, hands, etc. also become burgundy. Sometimes the redness appears unevenly - but in bright spots.

Also, redness is often accompanied by other signs of strong excitement. For example, the skin of the palms sweats, and the hands begin to shake finely.

This is a feature of our nervous system, which does not indicate any health problems. Therefore, it is definitely not necessary to consult a general practitioner about this. But psychologists have their own opinion on this matter. These experts argue that the redness of the face with excitement and embarrassment is one of the main signs of fear of communication with others and social phobia in general.

Redness can be not only a psychological, but also a physiological problem.

By the way, with age, situations when the cheeks suddenly turn red, happen less and less. This is due to the fact that over the years the intensity of the vascular reaction significantly decreases. But this does not mean at all that the problem under discussion cannot be got rid of earlier and you have to wait for years.

If, at the slightest attention of others to his person, a person suddenly becomes crimson, his hands begin to sweat and tremble, and at the same time he feels very uncomfortable, then first of all you should seek help and advice from a neurologist. It will help to figure out whether the main reason lies in the instability of the nervous system. If this assumption is correct, then the patient will be prescribed appropriate treatment.

If the main reason here is psychological, then first of all you will need to start working on increasing your own self-esteem, as well as deal with complexes. This can be done both independently and with the help of a professional psychologist.

Couperose

Another cause of facial redness can be rosacea. Experts call this disease vascular pathology of the skin.

This disease occurs due to circulatory disorders and poor tone of small vessels. In this case, the face will quickly blush not only from excitement, but also from frost, sudden heat and other similar reasons. Just redness is the first and main symptom of the problem under discussion.

Couperose itself is not dangerous. But the consequences of it can be very unpleasant. Firstly, constantly blushing is not very comfortable, and, secondly, improper skin care in this case can lead to the appearance of spider veins (these are small bursting red blood vessels that are almost impossible to hide even with cosmetics).

If no measures are taken at this stage, then the next stage of rosacea will be the appearance of a pronounced capillary pattern. At the same time, the skin always looks red and unattractive.

In this case, a complex multi-stage treatment will already be required, which includes phototherapy, ozone therapy, the use of a laser and many other unpleasant, expensive, and sometimes painful procedures.

Therefore, it is easier to prevent the development of rosacea than to cope with its consequences.

To protect yourself from this problem, you must:

Healthy food. The daily menu of a person should contain products that contain a lot of bioflavonoids. These are, for example, such fruits as grapes and apples;

Take multivitamins. The following ones are especially important in this case: K, P and C. All of them affect the state of blood vessels and capillaries.

At the first sign of rosacea, you need to take action

Exaggeration of the problem

Back in the 19th century, girls' red cheeks were a sign of her modesty and virtue. That is why the young ladies, who are not prone to the appearance of a blush, themselves created it on their faces with the help of improvised means. In the course was even a beetroot.

If we recall an even older period, then in ancient Rome the ability to blush was considered a sign of fearlessness and boundless courage. Only young men blushing were honored to serve in the most honorable positions.

In our time, the attitude towards red cheeks has changed a lot. Of course, the blushing ones themselves can worry about this the most. As a rule, they are concerned about two main problems:

Sudden blushing under various circumstances, which he cannot control in any way;

The reaction of others to his peculiarity.

And the second of them most worries most people. Sometimes a person who blushes at every contact of acquaintances or colleagues gradually becomes embarrassed and closes in on himself. It is unlikely that anyone will want to be friends and communicate with a person who is constantly hiding and refuses to enter into a dialogue. This is how social phobia develops.

Surprisingly, the fear of communication most often occurs precisely in those people who crave it the most. It is especially important to learn not to blush for those people who are constantly in society. For example, businessmen and everyone who regularly speaks in public.

The main thing is to assess the problem objectively. It is impossible to be sure that someone condemns a person for his flushed cheeks. Most likely, the problem is far-fetched and no one pays attention to the redness.

Of course, nowadays, under a variety of conditions, you can meet people who will not only notice crimson cheeks, but will not even hesitate to make a few jokes about it. But these are hardly interesting and educated personalities with whom it is worth continuing to communicate. And worthy answers to such jokes can be prepared in advance.

Psychologists offer all blushing an interesting experiment. To participate in it, you need to interview a wide variety of your friends. Let the respondents include not only the closest friends and relatives, but also colleagues, neighbors and other acquaintances. All of them will need to ask one question: “How often do you see redness on my face and what do you think?”.

Most often, the answers are very surprising. Instead of banter and jokes, the interviewee will likely hear a lot of compliments. Moreover, a lot of people are blushing. So why bother with a problem that doesn't exist?

Perhaps no one will notice your embarrassment

Ways to deal with anxiety and redness of the skin

Several effective methods are known at once. It is best to use several of them at once, so that the fight is complex and complete.

Emphasize attention

Most often, a person tries to hide his embarrassment from others and for this he withdraws into himself, falls silent, tries to turn away or even run away. From the outside, such attempts look stupid and strange. It is best to try to focus the attention of others on your redness. For example, you can make a couple of jokes about this:

Well, here I am again, "a beautiful girl." I blush all the time;

Did he really blush? It is you who still do not see how I burn inside myself;

Such phrases can be very different. It is best to prepare them in advance and use them in a suitable situation. Thus, the interlocutors will understand that a blushing person is not at all embarrassed by this peculiarity of his and is even able to joke about this. All his interest in the blush will disappear, and the conversation can be safely continued further.

"Speak" embarrassment

Feel that the cheeks in a few seconds will be covered with a blush, every person can. It is enough to observe yourself in the mirror and it will be easy to predict unwanted embarrassment and redness of the face.

In order not to get confused at this moment and not to “go into yourself”, it is very important to start a conversation with others yourself. The main thing is not to be silent.

It is worth speaking loudly and out loud, as well as boldly addressing your interlocutors. All this will help distract the brain and prevent even more blood flow to the face. By starting a conversation on your own, you can not only stop the redness, but also explain yourself to your interlocutor.

A sweet conversation will demonstrate to the embarrassed that there is no negative reaction to his redness. This means that there is no reason for excitement and concern.

If a person is worried that in such a situation he cannot choose a topic for conversation, then pre-prepared interesting phrases will also be an excellent way out. It is enough to devote a few minutes to this and in the future you will not have to frantically figure out what to talk about at the moment of your embarrassment.

It is best if these phrases are playful. For example:

When I want to seem innocent and modest, I immediately blush;

Yes, I am always haunted by the "excellent student syndrome" - I blush, but I perform my duties impeccably;

Well, you can’t say such nonsense, even I blush from your thoughts.

Each person can make a list of phrases that will be suitable for his situations and actively use them in everyday life.

Of course, it will not be easy to do this the first time. But each time the embarrassment will recede more and more and soon completely disappear.

And a few more useful tips for anyone who wants to learn how to overcome their excitement and not blush in public. It is necessary to pay special attention to those points that make up the causes of redness:

Learn to look at a variety of exciting situations easier. You shouldn't take everything to heart. It is enough to imagine: what terrible thing will happen if I do not pass this exam? The worst of all consequences is the standard retake. So why panic and blush about it?

Start using humor in a variety of situations and try to laugh at yourself when appropriate.

You can try to transform embarrassment into any other emotions. For example, get angry or cheer. This is also very difficult to do, but as a result of regular practice it is quite possible. Of course, anger is worse than embarrassment, but psychologists say that this is one of the fastest ways to deal with redness and excitement.

Try not to think about blushing and learn to behave as if nothing happened.

To understand that until a person himself shows his own embarrassment, no one around him notices this. Often even the redness of the face goes unnoticed until the embarrassed person himself begins to get nervous, hide and run away.

During exciting situations - do not focus your attention on the problem, but try to think about something else. For example, the belief that redness of the face and ears will not be scary at all and will not lead to any unpleasant or dangerous consequences will help. For everyone who has learned to ignore their blush, it disappears from the face almost instantly. Thus, over time, you can completely stop blushing.

Internal encouragement will also help: “I’m doing great!”, “I will cope with all the difficulties that have arisen!”, “I have friends and relatives who will always help me if necessary!”, “Blushing is cute and touching, it can not every".

Get rid of your own embarrassment

By constantly working on your stress resistance, you can quickly achieve your goal. Gradually, the redness will appear less and less, and then it will practically disappear altogether.

Red girl...

How many times have we met this phrase in fairy tales, thoughts, epics, poems.

Its direct meaning is a beautiful girl, but the premise for the red color is not accidental.

The old beauty had to have such qualities as modesty, fearfulness, she had to be embarrassed and lower her eyes to the bottom for any reason.

The blush on the cheeks was considered one of the standards of beauty and the young ladies who did not know how to blush were forced to resort to tricks: they smeared their cheeks with beetroot juice, pinched them to cause flushing, etc.

Times have changed, and with them the norms of behavior and standards of beauty have been transformed.

Today, a person, be it a man or a woman, constantly blushing will cause bewilderment rather than admiration.

No wonder everyone is looking for ways how to stop blushing, and not - what to do to make my cheeks turn red!

The suffering of the red-cheeked

Surely among your friends and colleagues there are people who constantly blush, and even when there are no reasons for this.

And there are those who, being driven into a corner, remain calm or, speaking to a huge audience, do not show a single gesture that they are worried.

Indeed, this habit is not as harmless as it might seem at first glance!

Even when I was in high school, we had an unpleasant situation. We learned to embroider at the labor lessons. The grade for the quarter depended on the quality and beauty of the finished work.

And a week before the work had to be handed in, one of the girls complained that she had lost an already finished embroidered napkin.

The teacher arranged an interrogation in front of the whole class and one of the students, Natasha, although she said that she did not take anything: she blushed, tried to calm the trembling in her hands and lowered her eyes.

Everyone thought that these were signs that she was telling a lie.

But Natalya stood her ground: despite the tears in her eyes and scarlet cheeks, she claimed that she was not guilty.

And the teacher of labor, and the class teacher, and the parents called to school shamed her, they say, not only a thief, but also a liar.

It would seem that the conflict has been settled: the thief was found, it was decided to give the student who suffered from the theft of a napkin 5 for a quarter.

But it was time to turn in the work, and one of the girls, who blamed Natalya the most, brought that very stolen napkin to hand in, hoping that the teacher would not recognize her.

She found out, the truth was revealed, but everyone was amazed by the "talents" of the young girl: not only did she commit a crime, she also acted in such a way that it would never have occurred to anyone to accuse her.

And I realized back in the 10th grade that if a person blushes, then this does not at all mean confirmation of his guilt.

Why do people blush?

Physiological.

If the flow of arterial blood increases, and the outflow of venous blood is difficult, then the skin turns red.

This usually happens if the activity of the heart increases or the pressure rises.

To fix the problem, you need to consult a doctor and undergo a series of examinations.

Neurological.

If your nervous system is unstable, for example, dilated or constricted vessels are irritated, then you will blush.

In this case, there is also only one way out - to contact a neurologist.

Psychological.

But here everything is already much more complicated: reddening of the skin occurs if you experience certain emotions: fear, embarrassment, excitement, and so on.

If your problem is really serious, then you can hardly solve it alone.

Make an appointment with a psychologist. Believe me, there is nothing to worry about. He is a doctor just like the others.

You do not want?

Are you ready to deal with the problem on your own?

Then to stop blushing, read the article further.

Find your own way to calm nervous tension.

The best option is breathing exercises: take a few deep breaths and exhale, then breathe shallowly, but at a measured pace.

If these exercises do not help you, find your own method.

For example, one of my friends calms down when she looks into the eyes of her mirror image.

Do not invent reasons, like, this is strange, the main thing is that it works flawlessly.

Do not dive head first into the problem or situation.

Remember Scarlett O'Hara with her "I'll think about it tomorrow"?

This is a very smart tactic.

Only a small percentage of people can make lightning-fast decisions in difficult situations.

Most people need time to calm down and think things through.

Do not be afraid to distance yourself from a difficult situation, if necessary - just leave.

Anyway, blushing and shaking with fear and embarrassment, you will not be able to come up with anything sensible.

Learn to calmly accept unexpected situations, whether they are pleasant or not.

Are you going on a first date with a handsome guy? So what, your future life depends on it?

In general, he may turn out to be the most boring loser, or maybe your soulmate.

Do not be overly enthusiastic or embarrassed by the fact itself.

Expand your social circle.


You feel quite comfortable in the circle of close friends and relatives, but talking to a stranger is a real problem?

Operate through can't.

Start small: ask what time it is or how to find the right address; ask to transfer money for a ticket in a minibus; make a request, suggest the desired stop; ask the opinion of another buyer about the taste of sweets, etc.

At first it will be difficult and your face of boiled cancer will not go anywhere, but each time it will be easier and easier to talk to a stranger.

Avoid situations that make you blush.

This, of course, does not mean that you need to become a hermit.

Simply, there are people who are not created to shine on stage or be in the spotlight.

Success does not depend on whether you know how to speak in public, make 10 dates a day, or be the head of a large corporation.

There are many areas that will allow you to feel comfortable and at the same time realize yourself and earn decent money - programmers, copywriters, production specialists, auto mechanics, researchers and many others.

And here's another little animated video that explains

about several scientific theories as to why people blush.

I hope my article How to stop blushing will make your life a little easier.

The main thing is not to forget that nothing is impossible in this world.

It's all about the desire and ability to work on yourself.

The body of each person is very individual, respectively, and the skin is completely different for everyone. Someone she is aristocratically pale, someone has a healthy blush on both cheeks, and someone blushes for any reason and for no reason. Redness of the skin of the face can be different: for someone it turns red due to excitement and is periodic.

And someone absolutely cannot control this process, which occurs spontaneously. This spoils the appearance, gives rise to a lot of unnecessary complexes and makes you think of only one thing: how to get rid of it? For such people, a completely reasonable question arises: why does the face turn red - what reasons can cause such an uncomfortable phenomenon?

If you set out to be sure to get rid of this scourge, the first point of your plan will be to determine its causes. Try to get to the bottom of this phenomenon: why does the face turn red, what is the provoking factor, what does it depend on? If you manage to answer all these questions, you will be able to eliminate the root cause, and therefore the phenomenon itself too. Cosmetologists in a single team with doctors are still working on a complete list of the causes of redness of the skin of the face. Somewhere their opinions differ, but absolutely everyone distinguishes two groups of factors - psychological and physiological. So, we find out why a person's face turns red uncontrollably and unexpectedly?

PSYCHOLOGICAL REASONS

• emotional stress;
• stressful or protracted depressive state;
• strong excitement;
• various psychological barriers;
• shyness, low self-esteem.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CAUSES

• rosacea - a disease characterized by an unexpected expansion and subsequent spasm of facial vessels;
• irritation of the skin under the influence of sunlight and a sharp change in temperature;
• the reaction of blood vessels, and, accordingly, the skin to the abundance of spicy food, coffee, tea, alcohol and hot food in the diet;
• smoking can also cause vasospasm, due to which blood can suddenly and unexpectedly rush to the skin;
• if the face turns very red, this may be caused by damage to the trigeminal nerve;
• long-term use of antibiotics;
• improperly selected cosmetics;
• minor injuries of the skin or blood vessels;
• allergy.

Analyze your life, your mental and physical well-being. Compare your observations with these lists and try to understand why sometimes your face blushes so much that it is noticeable to everyone around you? If you are sure that psychologically everything is in order, it may be worth going through a full medical examination and identifying some hidden diseases. It is they who can sometimes so affect the condition of the skin. As soon as a number of provoking factors are identified, proceed to their immediate elimination.

Cosmetologists, doctors and psychologists together give advice to those who have a constantly red face: what to do if this phenomenon prevents you from living. It turns out that there are both cardinal and very simple measures to eliminate this ailment. In the first case, it is most logical to go to a beauty salon and choose one of the many procedures (photocoagulation, for example, ultrasonic facial cleansing or galvanization). And in the second case, you can use natural remedies and your own strength.

1. Get rid of unnecessary experiences, try to avoid stress and nervous strain.
2. If you have low self-esteem, sign up for a training to improve it or undergo a course of treatment with a psychotherapist.
3. Use special cosmetics: apply a protective cream when going outside in the heat and frost, use only mild products that do not contain alcohol or acetone.
4. Normalize the diet: eat natural products, more fresh fruits and vegetables, exclude spicy, fatty, salty.
5. Stop taking long-term medications.
6. If your face often burns and turns red, reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke.
7. Do not lean on alcoholic beverages.
8. Avoid external skin contact with anything.
9. Check for allergies.
10. Drink a multivitamin complex.

The list is quite impressive, but this does not mean that you need to try everything in a row. The abundance of all these methods can only harm those who have a reddened face: the causes of this phenomenon are what you must fight first of all. Choose only those remedies that can be beneficial in your situation. In the meantime, you are analyzing and identifying all this, you can use the recipes for homemade cosmetic masks that are great at masking this trouble.

There are situations when our own body fails us. He becomes a real traitor - no matter how hard we try to hide our inner states, he betrays everything without words. We are talking, of course, about the reddening of the face. Some "throw in the heat" only in extreme situations, while others blush, as they say, with or without reason. This unpleasant feature of the body is very annoying, and sometimes it becomes simply unbearable. To figure out what to do in order not to blush, you need to understand the reasons for such a reaction.

Why does a person blush in certain situations, such as when excited or talking?
Why is it impossible to control the moment of redness?
Why do girls blush and why do men blush?
How to learn not to blush for any reason?

Although it seems to a person that he is 100% detached from the animal, nevertheless, some of our body features remain completely uncontrollable by us. Some of them play to our advantage - for example, unconditioned reflexes - they protect our body from damage. Others serve as a reason for suffering - that's how redness is out of place, for example. At the moment when we feel shame, we are embarrassed, our body betrays us headlong: we blush. And it's impossible to hide it.

For some people, this becomes literally a curse: they blush for any reason, say, when talking or the slightest excitement. Sometimes this even becomes the reason for seclusion - a person is afraid to communicate with others, which does not lead to anything good - loneliness brings even more suffering, because we can only be happy in society.

Of course, for a person who blushes often, the question arises: how to get rid of such a reaction, how to stop blushing? Various methods of relaxation, self-persuasion are used, but they either do not help at all, or give an effect only at the moment of focusing on the problem. As soon as we relax, the excitement immediately betrays us. We simply cannot give ourselves the order not to blush - this mechanism does not work that way. But this does not mean that it is impossible to understand the reasons for such behavior of the body.

Shame is the root of the reddening of a person's face

Although it seems that facial redness is a feature of a small group of people, in fact, it is not. Normally, absolutely everyone blushes when they feel shame. This is how our body reacts to this internal stimulus. But when and for what we are ashamed depends on many factors: upbringing, social foundations of society, generally accepted taboos.

Today, the standards of public morality have changed, so we no longer always blush when we tell a lie, for example. But there were other reasons: for example, today in a fashionable society it is a shame to be dressed in a simple way. Among young people, it is necessary to know their common slang, not knowing how to express it, we are ashamed of ourselves. Such examples can be found in the life of every person, community and state.

Fear is a secondary reason for the redness of a person's face

Unlike blushing due to shame, fear can also cause such a reaction. Fear is what fetters us, puts limits on us, sometimes necessary, and sometimes completely inadequate.

For example, people with an anal vector have a natural fear of embarrassment if their work is done poorly. If it is not possible to achieve success, then at the moment of shame the person blushes and is unpleasant to him. Therefore, next time he will make every effort so that the situation does not happen again. Thus, there is a development of a person, the formation of his personality, self-improvement.

The situation is quite different for people with a visual vector. Often they become hostages of their inadequate fears, the reasons for which are most often subjective. For example, they are embarrassed by their appearance (too tall, too big nose, etc.), speech defects and much more - the fear that the interlocutor will laugh makes them blush. And the more this inner fear, the more redness.

In very shy people, the face turns red from any excitement, even from talking to a stranger, such as a salesman or a passerby who asked for directions.

Some people think that only the weak half of humanity has a predisposition to reddening of the face, while men do not blush. Actually it is not. Both guys and girls in a state of fear and shyness are equally prone to redness.

How to stop blushing?

First you need to understand why we blush, what exactly causes such a reaction in us as reddening of the face. In what situation does this happen. Awareness of one's nature in many ways helps to control the reactions of the body, which no longer arise simply by themselves.

When a person blushes from internal fears, this problem can and should also be fought. But not by conspiracies or meditations, but by understanding the causes and nature of their fears. Here are some interesting materials that reveal in detail the state of fear in the visual vector:

Abnormal reddening of the skin of the face with any excitement passes at the very moment when a person ceases to be afraid to show himself to other people. Having ceased to dwell on ourselves and our fear, each of us is able to suddenly find that this world looks different than we imagined.

An effective method for getting rid of fear and shyness today has become the system-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan. Thousands of people have already been trained in this science and got their result, which helped them get rid of many fears that tormented their entire conscious life. Their results can be read

Rosy cheeks in a child after a frost or a slight blush of embarrassment on a girl's face rarely cause negative feelings, especially since such redness is not dangerous to health. But not always redness of the skin is the norm.

In what cases can the face become covered with red spots, is it dangerous, and how to prevent the appearance of redness?

When is redness not dangerous?

Sometimes a reddish complexion is a reaction of the body to various environmental factors or stress. Blood vessels dilate, blood rises to the face and “shines through” through the layer of the epidermis, due to which the skin becomes reddish or a bright blush appears.

The color of redness depends on whether the person has dense skin. In some, we see slight changes, and their face becomes a little pink. In people with thin skin, the color is more saturated - from red to crimson.

In what cases can this happen?

1. A strong wind was blowing in your face.
2. Low temperatures. We all blush in the cold or after washing with ice water.
3. Heat. If the weather is hot outside, or you went to the bathhouse, took a hot bath.
4. If you did hard physical work or exercised on simulators. During exercise, blood vessels expand, which leads to a change in skin color on the face.
5. Applying cosmetics. In women, the face and neck become red if before that they used cosmetics that increase blood flow to the skin: scrubs, masks.
6. When excited. Speaking in public or the excitement of talking often causes redness in the face. Doctors believe that this is an inadequate reaction of the autonomic nervous system. Due to the load, the body needs more oxygen, so the vessels dilate. This is the so-called blushing syndrome.

In all these cases, the complexion changes rapidly, but just as quickly returns to normal. No treatment is required, since such a phenomenon is not dangerous and is quite normal for the body.

Pathological causes of facial redness

Alcohol consumption

People who abuse alcoholic beverages differ from the rest in their complexion, it becomes purple. This is especially noticeable in men. But even if you drink infrequently, you have noticed that after alcohol, the face becomes pink or red, as it causes vasodilation.

If a person becomes addicted, then alcohol is constantly present in his blood, and the vessels remain dilated. Gradually, they lose their elasticity and can no longer return to their normal state.

With alcoholism, a red face becomes the norm, and it will be very difficult to change something. Those who care about the color of their complexion should give up this bad habit even before the changes become irreversible.

Smoking, unhealthy diet

If a person smokes, his blood vessels constrict, and it seems logical that his color does not change. But it's not. If the vessels become narrower, the amount of oxygen entering the blood decreases. The skin begins to suffocate and the body tries to solve this problem by expanding the capillaries on the surface of the skin (most often they are visible near the nose and on the cheeks). As a result, the appearance of the smoker suffers.

You don't drink or smoke, but your face still turns red? Maybe you are not eating right. Certain foods increase blood flow. If you notice that redness appears on the skin after eating, review your menu. Spicy, spicy and very hot dishes, as well as strong coffee and tea, will have to be abandoned. And then the complexion will return to normal.

Diseases

There are a number of diseases that affect the color of the skin of the face. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, see your doctor. He will pick up the treatment, and over time, the redness will disappear.

What diseases cause redness on the face?

There are many of them, we list the ones that are most common:

1. Hypertension or high blood pressure. This disease must be treated, as your vessels are under heavy stress. You will have to constantly take medication, after which the redness will disappear.
2. Couperose. With this disease, the elasticity of the skin capillaries decreases, they are constantly expanded, which is why a vascular pattern appears on the face. Most often, the disease makes itself felt after 30, but it happens that it appears earlier. If you notice spider veins on your cheeks, nose or chin, you need to go to a dermatologist.
3. Rosacea. This is a common skin disease that is usually diagnosed in people over 40 years of age. It will not be possible to completely cure it, but it is possible to achieve a long-term remission. A dermatologist will prescribe a course of treatment for you, he will also give recommendations on facial skin care.
4. Allergy. Because of it, redness is also possible. Another symptom is severe itching. With an allergic reaction, the face itches, burns, may swell, become covered with a rash and peel off.
5. carcinoid syndrome. With its development, serotonin is released into the blood, which dilates blood vessels. As a result, the skin of the face turns red, there is a feeling that the blood rushes to the cheeks, pressure decreases, diarrhea develops. Go to an oncologist, as these signs often indicate a tumor in the bronchi or gastrointestinal tract.
6. Systemic lupus erythematosus. Moth-like spots appear on the cheeks. Most often, this disease is diagnosed in women from 20 to 40 years. The reasons for its appearance are not known.

These are not all diseases that lead to redness of the skin on the face. If your skin develops redness for no reason that does not go away for a long time, you should consult a doctor.
