Because skin rashes this is the first sign of many diseases, this signal cannot be ignored, any suspicious rash that suddenly appears should be examined by a qualified doctor (dermatologist, allergist or therapist), since the disease in a weakened form can be manifested precisely by skin changes, without additional symptoms.

So what is a skin rash?

It is generally accepted that a rash is a change in the skin and (or) mucous membranes. Changes may include primarily a change in color, texture of the surface of the skin, peeling, itching in the area of redness and pain.
The rash can be localized in completely different places on the body, for different types rashes have typical places of appearance, for example, rashes associated with allergic reactions most often manifest themselves on the hands and face, while manifestations on the surface of the body are more often associated with infectious diseases.

Remember, combing the rashes is unacceptable in any case, this will lead to even more irritation of the skin and the possible formation of abscesses.

Types of rash

Skin rashes can have a different appearance, but are always divided into two types:

Primary- occur in areas of healthy skin or mucous membranes due to pathological processes in the body.

Secondary- occur at the site of the primary for certain reasons (for example, lack of treatment)

Undoubtedly, the most favorable in terms of diagnostic possibilities and subsequent successful therapy are primary presentations. All performances differ in external features such as size, shape, content, degree of color, grouping, and so on.

Let's analyze the main types of speeches

Spot- Manifested by a change in color or redness of the skin. It occurs in diseases such as syphilitic roseola, vitiligo, dermatitis, and birthmarks and freckles also belong to this type of manifestation.

Blister- Swollen redness with smooth edges, it can be regular and irregular in shape, common causes of appearance: urticaria, insect bites, toxidermia, usually does not require special treatment.

Typical manifestations of the nodule cause: psoriasis, several types of lichen, eczema, papillomas, various warts.

Rash with allergies

The cause of constant skin itching and visible skin rashes is often an allergy, this is a fairly common occurrence in our time, about 70 percent of people are somehow susceptible or have experienced allergic reactions.

What is an allergy? This is an exacerbated reaction of the human immune system to an allergen that has entered the body, while in the process of getting rid of the presence of an allergen in a person, blood vessels dilate, histamine is produced in large quantities, also, redness, inflammation, swelling are almost always added to the above symptoms, and skin itching is present.

Attention! In the event of an acute allergic reaction with the formation of edema, you must immediately call the patient an ambulance!

Allergic dermatitis also often manifests itself - when exposed to an allergen, a rash area forms at the point of contact, for example, when reacting to clothes - rashes in the waist, back and those places on the body where clothes fit most tightly to the skin, or when reacting to perfume or deodorant - in the area of the greatest hit of the substance (often under the armpits)

With a mild allergic reaction, the symptoms resemble those colds: runny nose, possibly increased salivation and lacrimation. If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, tachycardia, convulsions and nausea, then this may indicate a severe allergic reaction in which there is a risk of developing anaphylactic shock, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Allergies can be caused by:

Pet hair
Plant pollen in summer or autumn period of the year
Medications
Food (chocolate, milk, citrus fruits, etc.)

Skin redness

Redness of the skin is a common phenomenon for everyone. The skin inevitably turns red during physical exertion, elevated temperature, and especially - in moments when a person is worried or ashamed. Redness of the skin caused by congestion blood vessels blood. This phenomenon is called hyperemia. Reflex or inflammatory hyperemia of the skin provokes a change in its color to bright red, sometimes purple, purple or pink. The formation of individual areas of redness on the body is called erythema. In some cases, the occurrence of erythema is accompanied by swelling of the skin, rash and itching. It is also possible to exfoliate the surface layer of the epidermis.

Redness of the skin against the background of emotional rest (when a person is not stressed, calm) and in the absence of physical exertion may be important symptom any disease or allergic reaction. If the appearance of erythema is accompanied by other symptoms, you should consult a doctor. There are many symptomatic remedies for eliminating and masking red areas of the skin, but diagnostics should always be carried out in order to exclude (or identify) dangerous diseases associated with this symptom.

There are many reasons for reddening of the skin. Some of them are harmless and are natural physiological processes that provoke skin hyperemia. The overflow of the blood vessels of the skin can occur due to an increase in pressure (during stress, physical exertion) or an increase in body temperature. However, in some cases, the occurrence of erythema (red spots on the skin) may be the result of one or more pathological processes in the body. Among the most common causes of erythema are the following:

allergic reaction (allergy of any kind may be accompanied by reddening of the skin);
infectious and inflammatory diseases (both skin and systemic diseases can be accompanied by skin redness, rash, swelling and itching, these diseases can be bacterial, viral or fungal etiology);
diseases of the cardiovascular system;
endocrine diseases;
the presence of foci of chronic inflammation;
autoimmune diseases;
side effects of certain drugs.

A fairly common cause of reddening of the skin is also an individual hypersensitivity of the skin vessels. In this case, redness can appear in different situations (with hypothermia, overheating, and even a light touch on the skin). As a rule, this hypersensitivity is hereditary.

Separately, it is necessary to highlight external factors, the impact of which can cause reddening of the skin:

exposure to ultraviolet (sunlight);
insect bites;
burns;
exposure to chemicals.

Review of skin hyperemia: causes of pathology, types, treatment

From this article you will learn: what does skin hyperemia mean, why does it occur and how to distinguish ordinary natural redness from pathological. It will become clear to you what are the causes of skin hyperemia on the face and other parts of the body, how these conditions can be cured.

The color of human skin is determined by the content of pigment, the thickness and transparency of the outer layer of the skin, as well as the blood supply to the network of subcutaneous vessels. Normal physiological color is considered a slightly pink shade of the skin and mucous membranes. Excessive filling of the vascular bed with blood is externally manifested by a change in skin tone from pink to red.

The term "hyperemia" in medicine refers to local or general redness of a tissue or organ. Hyperemia is not considered an independent disease, being only a sign of many conditions - both normal physiological and painful. The appearance of this symptom is based on the expansion of local vessels under the influence of external or internal stimuli. If the hyperemia of the internal organs is not visually determined, then the reddening of the skin that is noticeable to the eye often causes concern.

Natural hyperemia of the skin is adaptive in nature and should not be cause for concern. The inconvenience caused by it has an exclusively aesthetic coloring, and the “recovery” comes on its own after a short time.

Pathological redness of the skin directly or indirectly indicates problems with internal organs, an infectious or dermatological disease. In such cases, the treatment of the underlying pathology by a specialized specialist - a dermatologist, internist, pediatrician or infectious disease specialist, will help to cope with the symptom of hyperemia.

Causes of hyperemia on the skin

A diverse range of causes of skin hyperemia can be divided into two large groups:

physiological (normal, natural);
pathological.

Normally, a person's skin turns red against the background of mental arousal in moments of strong emotions or stressful situations (joy, shame, excitement, anger). In this case, the walls of blood vessels expand under the action of hormones. Decrease or increase in temperature environment(water, air) also causes physiological redness of the skin. Everyone noticed that the nose turns red in the cold, and in the bath - the entire surface of the body. At physical activity diffuse redness of one or more areas of the body appears.

Pathological hyperemia of the skin:

occurs against the background of febrile conditions;
manifests itself locally over the foci of inflammation (around the joints, wounds, boils or abscesses);
becomes one of the symptoms of allergic reactions (urticaria, atopic dermatitis);
in case of carbon monoxide poisoning, the skin becomes scarlet due to the formation of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood, which has a bright purple hue;
in addition, unhealthy redness can be caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood (hypoxia) or an excess of lactic acid in the tissues (acidosis).

Delimited spots of hyperemia in different parts of the body appear with infectious erythema, tuberculosis, streptococcal infections, sarcoidosis, ulcerative colitis and chronic foci of infection (tonsillitis, pyelonephritis).

With severe liver damage, persistent redness is noted on the palms and feet of the patient, the so-called "palmar erythema" appears.

A violent hyperemic reaction of the skin is accompanied by thermal and chemical burns.

Mechanical stimuli - massage, rubbing or scratching - can also increase blood flow to the epidermis and cause local redness.

Types of hyperemia and their meaning

Excessive blood supply to the skin can occur due to:

expansion of the lumen of the arteries that bring blood - this is an arterial form of hyperemia;
obstruction of outflow and stagnation of blood in the saphenous veins - venous form.

Arterial hyperemia

Normally, arterial hyperemia is beneficial for the body. With its help, the body regulates the rate of peripheral circulation, quickly adapts to changing conditions, eliminates local disturbances and responds to an increase in load. For example, the skin blushes from the sun, cold wind or during sports. Physicians use this mechanism when prescribing cups, mustard plasters, or rubbing, thus providing a burst of oxygenated and nutrients blood to the affected area.

Pathological arterial hyperemia of the skin occurs with injuries, infectious diseases with high temperature, over foci of chronic inflammation, with hypertension, impaired innervation of the arteries or long-term exposure natural factors (cold, heat). It can harm the body, cause hemorrhages and swelling of the tissue. In such cases, the effect of hyperemia is usually weakened with the help of cold (lotions, cold wraps, ice).

Venous congestion

Venous hyperemia of the skin occurs against the background of stagnation of blood in the subcutaneous veins.

The skin overflowing with dark venous blood has a purple-cyanotic hue and is deficient in oxygen and nutrients.

The benefit of venous congestion is to slow down blood circulation, thus the body inhibits the spread of inflammation. However, in most cases this form of symptom is harmful to the body and should be the reason for the treatment or elimination of its causes.

Characteristic symptoms

The main sign of hyperemia is redness. Depending on the area of \u200b\u200bdistribution throughout the body and the boundaries of redness, the following 4 forms are distinguished:

local,
general,
spilled,
delimited.

Local spots of redness are called erythema. With erythema, areas of redness of different sizes are located on the face, body, arms and legs, have clear boundaries and disappear with pressure. This symptom is typical for erysipelas, it appears on the cheeks in children with exudative-catarrhal diathesis.

With eczema, erythematous areas are located on the bends of the elbows, the back of the arms, in the popliteal fossae, on the face and in the groin, accompanied by severe itching.

Another example of a local manifestation of a symptom is telangiectasias - crimson star-shaped spots that slightly protrude above the skin.

They can be present on the arms, legs, face and any other part of the body, and the reason for their appearance lies in the violation of the embryonic development of blood vessels or hormonal imbalance during life. This cosmetic defect causes a lot of unrest in women, who, according to statistics, are most susceptible to the disease.

A red rash on different parts of the body is a symptom of many infectious diseases. With measles, bright red spots gradually fill the entire body, merging into large fields of hyperemia. Purple complexion on the background of a pale nasolabial triangle is a typical sign of scarlet fever. And with pseudotuberculosis, small pink spots form a kind of "hood", "socks" and "gloves" on the patient's body, filling the corresponding areas of the body.

Pinkish or purple hyperemic skin on the chest is one of the first symptoms of breast cancer in women. It is dangerous because it does not violate the well-being of patients. In nursing mothers, diffuse redness in this area is a sign of lactostasis (milk stagnation) or its formidable complication - mastitis. The resulting inflammation is accompanied by pain, fever and is dangerous for the mother and child.

General hyperemia of the skin most often occurs in athletes during training or sudden changes in barometric pressure (in divers). Its outcome is favorable and does not require treatment. Pathological redness of the whole body occurs against the background of arterial plethora in Wakez disease (an increase in the number of red blood cells) or stagnation venous blood with heart defects. In these cases, hyperemia and other pathological symptoms diseases require serious treatment.

Hyperemia of the face

What is flushing of the skin on the face? Those are red cheeks! Three mechanisms of their appearance can be clearly demonstrated by the example of a slap, shame or coldness. A healthy blush on the cheeks has always served as one of the main indicators of health. It is known that with emotional arousal, owners of light and thin skin often blush. This is a harmless symptom that does not require any treatment. Also, redness of the face is provoked by:

sexual arousal,
high ambient temperature,
drinking alcohol,
head down posture,
spicy or spicy food.

Pathological redness of the face is a companion of numerous diseases.

It accompanies excruciating bouts of hemicrania (migraine) and disappears in parallel with the headache.
Redness of the skin of the face and neck is typical for hypertensive crises and chronic alcoholism.
Characteristic flushing of the facial skin in the form of a "butterfly" and "glasses" is a typical symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Purple coloration of the face against the background of a pale nasolabial triangle is a typical sign of scarlet fever.

In these cases, the symptom of hyperemia in itself does not cause discomfort, but at the same time it is an external signal that the internal organs or systems are not well.

Treatment Methods

Most cases of physiological or "working" flushing of the skin do not need treatment. For those to whom the “blush of excitement” causes aesthetic inconvenience, sedatives or medicinal herbs (valerian, motherwort, mint) are recommended. A good prevention of unwanted hyperemia will be yoga classes, which will help in the regulation of vascular tone and the ability to cope with emotions.

Treatment of the symptom of hyperemia in infectious, skin and somatic diseases, first of all, is aimed at eliminating the causative factor:

pathogens (viruses, bacteria);
physiological stimuli (cold, sunlight);
inflammation;
hormonal imbalance;
arterial hypertension and others.

Operative techniques are used in the treatment of telangiectasias and vascular nevi, which are cosmetic skin defects. Surgical elimination of heart defects - the causes of venous plethora of the skin and other organons.

Local redness of the skin with bruises, cuts and scratches is removed folk remedies, applying plantain leaves, wormwood or ordinary cottage cheese.

With hyperemia, the cause of which is subcutaneous hemorrhage (hematoma), will cope Apple vinegar. To prepare the lotion, half a liter of vinegar should be heated in a water bath, then a couple of drops of iodine should be added and two teaspoons of salt should be added. After wetting the cloth with the resulting solution, apply it to the reddened area for a quarter of an hour.

Skin hyperemia, causes, symptoms, elimination, prevention

Visible manifestations of increased blood flow to the skin are usually observed on the face, red, sometimes even purple spots appear. Hidden signs of the disease are an excessively high blood flow through the veins and arteries, an increase in temperature in the areas of the disease localization, as well as the expansion of blood vessels.

Redness on the skin can be temporary and occur with jumps in body temperature, emotional outbursts (excitement and mental arousal), increased physical activity, as well as when exposed to the skin of a mechanical nature. Redness of the skin, as a rule, occurs in one or more areas, without spreading throughout the body.

I note right away that when hyperemia appears, you should immediately contact a dermatologist, who, having identified the causes, prescribe the optimal treatment regimen. Therapeutic therapy is not particularly difficult. It usually includes the following activities:

avoiding the use of any facial cleansers that dry out the skin (washing gels, soaps);
constant use of protective creams and ointments;
affected areas of the skin, it is important to treat only warm water with the use of soft sponges, which will prevent irritation and trauma to the skin;
the use of drugs whose action is aimed at normalizing blood circulation and microcirculation;

in equal proportions combine table vinegar, cologne and a two percent solution boric acid;
mix 40 ml of a two percent solution of boric acid and Hoffmann drops (sedative);
ointment for redness caused by cold and windy weather: mix 30 g of vaseline with 3 g of anesthesin or mix 20 g of vaseline with 10 g zinc ointment and 3 g of salol (compound of salicylic acid and phenol).

With hyperemia of the skin, hypothermia, strong winds, sunbathing (all this causes vasodilation and a rush of blood), steam baths, masks with paraffin, facial massage are contraindicated. With a tendency to this disease, it is important to establish work gastrointestinal tract, for which spicy and spicy foods, foods with caffeine and taurine (coffee, hot tea), red drinks, and alcohol should be excluded from your diet.

Skin redness

Redness of the skin may not necessarily be accompanied by additional symptoms, such as inflammation of the skin. In some cases, both skin inflammation and redness are combined in the same disease, in some cases, inflammation or redness appears separately.

Redness can manifest itself in different ways, as a single large spot, or multiple spots along the entire surface of the skin or in specific areas of it. This symptom can appear for a variety of reasons. In particular, the following can be considered as such:

increased nervous excitability (the skin is literally covered with spots, but this does not speak of inflammation, as such);
malnutrition (including allergic reactions to foods that are “not so” perceived by the body);
any type of allergic reaction;
hypothermia, overheating;
increased sensitivity of blood vessels (it can also be caused by a hereditary factor);
the presence of a focus of infection (in particular, we are talking about the relevance of inflammatory diseases);
the use of certain drugs (reddening of the skin in this case is side effect from their actions).

Of the diseases that can occur with the appearance of this symptom, one can designate psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatitis in various forms, rosacea, urticaria, mastitis, breast cancer, etc.

"Redness of the skin" is observed in diseases:

For this reason, all doctors are trying to detect pathology in a timely manner and develop the most effective treatment regimen.

In a global generalization, allergy is a disease that, unfortunately, manifests itself not only in the springtime of mass flowering. So, for example, an allergy to cold, the symptoms of which are very different from those of other types of allergic reactions, occurs, as you probably guessed, with the onset of cold weather.

Bursitis is one of these acute inflammation, which is formed in the periarticular bag, that is, in a soft bag filled with liquid and used as a cushion pad between bones, muscles or tendons. Accordingly, such bags are located in places with the highest mechanical pressure near the synovial bags. The cause of this inflammation is an abrasion or bruise, as well as small wounds or secondary infection of synovial bags due to pyogenic microbes.

When they appear, a doctor's consultation is required to determine the exact diagnosis. You can’t tighten it, since spots are a signal of serious illnesses.

Types and causes of spots

Most often, irritants that cause allergies and diseases of an infectious nature become a trigger. By appearance the spots are also different: dense, single or grouped, slightly protruding due to swelling or remaining on the same level with the epidermis.

Usually spots are divided according to the following criteria:

roseola - small spots of scarlet shades no more than 5 mm in diameter;
punctate rash - a small accumulation of small spots;

erythema - redness covering a large area;
hemorrhages inside and under the skin.

It should be noted that sometimes redness after scrubs, massage and other cosmetic procedures also taken as signs of any disease. This is wrong, since this is a mechanical damage that is not related to the state of the internal organs. Such spots are a consequence of vasodilation at the site of exposure, which increases blood flow. They disappear quickly and leave no traces.

Also, do not be afraid if erythema or a large-spotted rash occurs. Such rashes are most likely a consequence of nervousness, a strong change emotional state person. As a rule, they often appear in a situation of stress and after a while, after leaving stressful situation disappear and do not itch.

And the body in the case of an infection or an allergen is caused by a protective reaction of the body. These are quite rare cases, because about 30–40% of people in the world suffer from allergies (in industrial and densely populated cities, the rates of allergy sufferers are highest).

Rashes with chickenpox

First of all, a red rash is diagnosed, after which blisters up to 5 mm in diameter appear in its place, filled with water. After a couple of days, the water bubbles dry out, forming a dried layer.

The cause of this disease is ixodid ticks that spread bacteria. First of all, round red spots form in the place where the tick has bitten. After this, intoxication appears. Subsequently, they grow 2–10 times their original size.

Immunoallergic nature of rashes

The allergen causes the formation of round spots. Skin allergies are difficult to treat, since anything can become an irritant, but the essence of the disease is not in the substances themselves, but in the degree of sensitivity.

As a treatment, ointments with hormones, soda baths and herbal baths are prescribed.

It is worth remembering that the reddened areas should quickly disappear. If their presence is delayed, then a doctor's consultation is necessary.
