Finding that the face is covered with red spots, many women experience panic and try to disguise them with the help of various cosmetics. However, first of all, you should calm down and try to figure out what caused their appearance. For this, it is necessary to remember when exactly they appeared (the main thing - after what?), To recognize the nature of these spots (small, large, dry, itchy, etc.), and also to try to discover other possible symptoms.
Why is the face covered with red spots?
The reasons for the appearance of red spots on the face are many. Consider the most common of them:
- Allergy is one of the most common causes. As a rule, when an allergic irritation occurs the face itches, and red spots appear suddenly. Sometimes there is tearing in the eyes and sneezing. An allergic reaction can occur after eating certain foods, taking medication, exposure to sunlight, cold air, dust, cosmetics and hygiene products, etc.
- Acne - with the appearance of acne , red spots appear on the face (sometimes itchy) with an elevation in the center. Acne can occur with hormonal changes, the presence of infection in the body, liver diseases and the gastrointestinal tract.
- Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin, in which red spots appear on the face, which are of a massive and persistent nature. Over time, in the absence of treatment, these spots grow and become brighter. Until now, the exact cause of this disease has not been established.
- Scleroderma is a disease characterized by densification of the skin and underlying tissues, and sometimes internal organs. At the initial stage this disease can be manifested in the form of dry light red oval spots on the face and other parts of the body. The causes of scleroderma are also unknown.
- Elevated blood pressure - a jump in blood pressure often manifests itself in the form of extensive red spots on the face, with the feeling that the face "burns".
- Excitement, emotional shock - the red spots that result from these reasons are short-lived, disappear after the person calms down.
If the cause of the appearance of red spots can not be determined independently, it is recommended to consult a specialist and undergo an examination of the body. Proper treatment can only be after the diagnosis.
