Do you “ go red ” easily and it becomes embarrassing? Is it hard to get rid of that redness on your face? Erythrosis (i.e. redness on the face but no visible blood vessels) is the most common form of rosacea. Focus on the causes of this condition and the most suitable treatments to treat it.
Erythrosis is the first stage of rosacea, a skin condition that particularly affects sensitive and hypersensitive skin. To recognise this condition, several signs can be observed. At first, the face suddenly reddens too frequently, experiencing what is known as flushing. This redness may be accompanied by hot flushes. When this diffuse redness – small coloured patches – becomes permanent, it is known as facial erythrosis. It is often found on the cheeks and wings of the nose.
Hypersensitive and reactive skin is obviously the ideal playground for erythrosis. Before the permanent redness appears, the skin suffers from flushes, sudden bursts of heat that make it red all the way to the ears. What happens under the skin to cause erythrosis to set in? As with a flush, an event such as a change in temperature or strong emotion causes the blood vessels to dilate. This influx of blood causes redness to appear on your face. But instead of returning to normal, the blood vessels unfortunately remain dilated, causing permanent redness.
