Skin inflammation

You have certainly already had red cheeks after eating spicy food, after being exposed to the sun or after drinking a glass of wine. These so-called redness can be temporary for some people and permanent for others. Many people have apparent skin inflammation, mainly in the central area of ​​the face, namely the cheeks and nose. The majority do not even know what type of inflammation is, what is the cause and what to do to alleviate it and slow its progression. It generally leads to sensitivity and fragility of the epidermis, which is why it is important to listen to your skin.

Firstly, you should know that there are different stages of this skin condition, all of them are different and not everyone will reach the last stage of course. It depends on our lifestyle, our habits, our environment, our health and even our genes. The use of chemical and irritating cosmetic products can promote inflammation of the skin, as can stress, excessive sun exposure, alcohol or caffeine. It is important to be aware of it, to be informed and to know what to do or not to do to control it. From the mildest to the most severe form, we find erythema, erythrosis, rosacea and rosacea. I am sharing with you a brief definition of each of these stages to help you target the one that best represents the current state of your skin.

Erythema is a congestive and temporary redness of the skin that fades with pressure. This redness is diffuse and temporary which is due to the excessive repetition of vasodilation with vasoconstriction. The causes are mainly endogenous and exogenous, that is to say for example due to emotions, a digestive disorder, medications, irritating products, spices, alcohol, intense physical exercise or sun.

Erythrosis is defined, among other things, by diffuse and permanent redness . The main cause is due to a significant slowdown in skin microcirculation; the causes are rather external. It is a temporary dilation of the vessels of the face which will cause permanent redness when the vessels have lost their elasticity. The causes are similar to erythema and particularly affect thin skin.

Rosacea is the logical consequence of erythrosis if the condition is not taken care of, it is a diffuse redness which results from a temporary dilation of the blood vessels of the face. Rosacea is defined by permanent redness accompanied by telangiectasias , telangiectasias are small blood vessels caused by permanent dilation of the micro vessels of the dermis. The main causes of telangiectasia are congenital and hormonal; this appearance is the clinical sign of rosacea. These can be treated by electrocoagulation, ask your beautician for advice. Photorejuvenation is also an adequate treatment for vascular disorders such as rosacea; it is offered in several aesthetic clinics.

Rosacea is the logical consequence of rosacea if the condition is not taken care of, it is the complication of an existing rosacea condition. This stage is characterized by persistent and intermittent redness, telangiectasia, a burning sensation and sometimes outbreaks of papules and pustules can appear at this stage, we then speak of acne rosacea . It is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects more than 3 million Canadians and can only be diagnosed by a dermatologist. Know that there are four forms of rosacea, your doctor will be able to inform you further. Several internal and external causes can lead to rosacea, which is hereditary and generally women are more affected than men. At this stage, a healthy lifestyle is very important and several treatments are possible such as topical creams prescribed by a doctor or medical lasers.

Skin inflammation is a condition that is degenerative and progressive , which is why it is favorable to take care of it as early as possible. Remember that it is an excessive repetition of vasodilation to vasoconstriction which leads to the permanent dilation of the blood capillaries so you have to be proactive.
