Diffuse Redness/Rosacea
Facial flushing is seen as generalised redness of the face, often associated with visible blood vessels technically termed telangiectasia. This redness can have numerous causes and contributing factors including the possibility of being a common skin disorder called Rosacea.
Rosacea manifests itself as bouts of facial flushing usually of the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin either with or without the presence of telangiectasia and/or inflammatory acne lesions. Flushing generally occurs due to aggravating factors such as extreme temperatures, hot and spicy foods, alcohol and stress. More advanced cases can progress into a condition called Rhinophyma where the nose becomes red and bulbous due to the enlargement of the oil glands and is more common in men.
Sufferers should see their physician for an accurate diagnosis and complete treatment. Most cases of diffuse redness and Rosacea can be successfully managed using Intense Pulsed Light procedures.
