Annoying Red Skin can be Both Embarrassing and Painful

Red skin can be very annoying. Picture this: A woman is getting ready for her date when all of a sudden she spots red blotches on her neck and then on her cheek. These red spots can’t be covered up with makeup so what can she do? Having a red skin condition can be a real pain in the neck, literally. That is why it is important for people to learn more about red skin and what they can do to make sure it does not happen, especially at a time like getting ready for a date.

Knowing the Triggers

Knowing the “triggers” of the red skin is going to help men and women battle their skin condition a lot better. Here are a few things that cause facial redness:

● Too much stress
● Exposure to too cold or too hot temperatures
● Wearing cosmetics that cause breakouts
● Not having a proper skin care regimen
● Drinking too much alcohol

A person who has red face often may want to keep a journal so they can track these triggers and learn what is really causing their face to turn red so often. This can help them get help for their stress, the temperature, or even making a simple change such as cosmetics.

Going for Treatment

By having the journal and personal trigger list, people have something concrete they can give their doctor to review. People who write down how long the redness occurred, where it was located (red cheeks, red now, for example), and if any pain was associated with it will find better help from their doctors because they are giving them enough information.

In the moment when redness attacks, the skin can burn, itch, or cause other irritation.  Doctors may recommend an anti-redness cream to help cool the skin in these scenarios. Talk to your doctor and find out what you can do about your red skin.
