Red complexion

Introduction The skin color of a person is determined by congenital factors such as race and heredity, and is closely related to the distribution of body capillaries, the amount of pigment, and the thickness of subcutaneous fat. In general, a healthy person's face is usually yellowish, rosy and shiny. Redness of skin color may be due to poor blood circulation, especially the blood flow in the distal part is not smooth, and the protein is absorbed without being fully digested. It is caused by high levels of red blood cells or diseases such as heart, liver and intestines.

Cause

Redness may be due to poor blood circulation, especially in the peripheral part of the blood flow, protein is not fully digested and absorbed. Either the red blood cell content is high, or there is a problem with the heart, liver and intestines.

Clinical manifestations: The skin presents an abnormal reddish red color. When the weather is cold, the cheeks, especially the tip of the nose, will appear reddish.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of skin redness:

Blush complexion: may be caused by excessive consumption of lychee. This is because litchi has high fructose content. After a large amount of consumption, the glucose invertase in the liver is not as good as converting fructose into glucose, causing a large amount of fructose to accumulate in the blood and causing skin color changes, which may cause discomfort.

Flushing complexion: Many people's facial flushing is caused by drinking. Even if the alcohol concentration is not high, drinking alcohol will not occur. In addition to the face, it can also extend to the neck, trunk and limbs, sometimes accompanied by wheal and itching, affecting work and rest, which is caused by alcohol-induced irritation and allergies. People with this kind of reaction should drink less alcohol or stop drinking.

Cyan skin: May be caused by histamine in food. Since animals such as shrimp, crab, and squid die, the protein in the body rapidly decomposes, producing a large amount of histamine. Eating these aquatic products will increase the histamine content in the human blood. If you eat improperly or allergic to the face or even the skin color, it will appear blue-red, discomfort, and sometimes accompanied by headache and itching.

Make-up red skin: refers to the redness of the cheeks, mostly caused by excessive intake of animal fat and protein.
