Facial redness is a common issue that can affect appearance and self-esteem. These redness spots are often accompanied by visible small blood vessels, which can be temporary or permanent. The primary cause is generally linked to an abnormality in the facial venous system. This article delves into the causes of facial redness and the solutions to address them.

Different Forms of Facial Redness
Erythematous Redness and Couperose
Erythematous redness is characterized by redness on the face, often accompanied by couperose, which refers to small dilated blood vessels under the skin. This type of redness can appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly.
Erythrosis: Permanent skin redness.
Couperose: Visible small blood vessels.
Papulopustular Form
The papulopustular form is characterized by redness associated with acne-like pimples. Contrary to popular belief, these symptoms are not related to alcohol consumption.
Aggravating factors
Environmental factors
Climatic conditions play an important role in aggravating facial redness. For example:
- Sun exposure
- Temperature fluctuations between hot and cold
- Extreme weather like wind and cold
Diet and lifestyle
Certain everyday elements can also contribute to the formation of facial redness:
- Consumption of spicy foods.
- Hot drinks such as coffee and tea.
- Alcohol consumption.
Differentiating Types of Redness
Couperose vs. Rosacea
It is crucial to distinguish between couperose and rosacea for effective treatment. Although both present similar symptoms, there are notable differences.
Couperose
This is primarily a cosmetic condition caused by the dilation of small blood vessels on the face. It is generally not linked to a severe underlying pathology.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a more complex dermatological condition that mainly affects the face. It can include redness, papules, and sometimes ocular inflammation.
