REDNESS
Redness and flushing in the skin can be due to a number of triggers. Extreme or persistent redness and flushing is diagnosed as Rosacea. Some causes of reddened skin include reactive oxygen species causing a degenerative effect on collagen and elastin, persistent exposure to vasodilators such as coffee, alcohol and spicy foods and lastly, UV exposure damaging collagen and elastin and further effecting the skins barrier function providing the perfect environment for opportunistic pathogens to invade the skin. There are many different contributors to redness such as, immune system, medications, genetics, environmental and microbiological factors.
