Red blood streaks on both sides of cheeks

Red blood streaks on both sides of the cheeks are a very common skin condition. These red blood streaks are generally caused by poor dilation of capillaries on the cheek skin, damage to the skin's stratum corneum, or shallow position of the capillaries on the skin. The red blood streaks on the cheeks will become darker in color depending on external factors, such as too cold or hot air, sensitive skin, rapid mood changes, etc., all of which can cause this phenomenon.

These red blood streaks generally do not look very beautiful, especially for young people in puberty, who dislike such red blood streaks even more. If you have red blood streaks on your cheeks, you must take measures to protect against the sun and cold, keep your skin clean and moisturized, and try to eat more vegetables and fruits. Let us understand the causes and treatments of the red blood streaks on both sides of the cheeks, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Causes

Red blood streaks are mainly a facial phenomenon caused by the dilation of facial capillaries or the superficial location of some capillaries. The skin is thin and sensitive, and the face becomes redder when it is cold, hot, or emotional. The causes of red blood streaks can be roughly divided into two types: genetic and induced. The hereditary type is mostly familial, and the induced type is the most common. The main causes are as follows:

1. Long-term local use of corticosteroids can cause capillary dilation, leading to thinning and atrophy of the skin;

2. Blood circulation is blocked and blood vessel walls are stagnant, causing red blood streaks on the face;

3. Misuse of skin care products containing hormones or drugs, photorejuvenation, acid peeling and other exfoliating treatments can make the stratum corneum thinner and more transparent, and easily form red blood streaks;

4. The skin is sensitive to external stimuli, showing repeated congestion, causing the blood vessels to dilate and form red blood streaks.

Treatment

Treatment for facial redness

1. Disadvantages of traditional methods of treating red blood streaks

1. Instrument treatment: It often violates the natural law of skin metabolism and forcibly removes red blood streaks at one time. It causes the death of capillaries and even the possibility of agglomeration, pigmentation, and easy recurrence.

2. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine: All medicines are toxic. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is diverse, and the effective active ingredients cannot be accurately defined. In the absence of modern bioengineering technology, some ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine can also cause allergies.

3. Topical cosmetics: They can only improve the symptoms of red blood streaks on the surface of the skin. They are very narrow in scope and only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Some external products may contain irritating ingredients, hormones, or harmful chemicals that can damage the skin if in direct contact.

4. Topical hormone ointment: It can quickly relieve symptoms in a short period of time, but this type of drug has serious side effects and often causes dependence. Symptoms will recur and the skin will become more sensitive.

2. Ways to help reduce red blood streaks

1. Strengthen skin exercise, wash your face with cold water frequently to increase skin tolerance;

2. Try not to use cosmetics containing heavy metals to avoid pigmentation and toxins remaining on the epidermis;

3. Gently massage the red blood area frequently to promote blood flow and help enhance the elasticity of capillaries;

4. Avoid going from a cold place to a hot place suddenly, or from a hot place to a cold place suddenly, which may cause the red blood streaks to worsen;

5. When heat-type red blood streaks are severe, you can use cold compresses to reduce fever and swelling of the face.

3. Care methods for red bloodshot skin

The skin with red blood streaks is more sensitive, so you can use some gentle skin care products and try to change skin care products as little as possible. If you need to change them, please do an experiment first: you can first apply a small amount of external skin care products behind the ears (because the skin behind the ears generally does not have too much contact with external skin care products and is more sensitive to skin care products). You can check the results after an hour. If there is no allergy behind the ears, you can apply a small amount to the red blood streak area. If you find allergy or discomfort, please stop using it immediately.

4. Special care for red bloodshot skin in winter

1. Use anti-redness skin care products. Products targeting redness should become your basic skin care products for daily use.

2. Beauty care: Go to the hospital for cold light quantum rejuvenation, which can relieve and treat facial capillary dilation by strengthening cell metabolism, enhancing cell regeneration and rearrangement. It can be said to be a relatively fast and safe treatment method.

3. Eat less spicy food and try not to eat spicy food in your daily diet to avoid irritation to the skin.

4. Snow water can magically reduce redness. When it snows, fill a bottle with some snow water. When using it, first rub the areas with red blood with ginger, then cover your face with a towel soaked in snow water for about 3 minutes. After continuous care for a period of time, the red blood will slowly fade away.

5. Physical cooling: The indoor temperature should not be too high. If you feel your face getting red and hot, you can apply cold water to cool it down physically.

6. In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid sun exposure, and try to control your emotions, which can effectively prevent capillary dilation.

7. Laser treatment for redness. Laser can close the dilated blood vessels so that no blood flows through them, thus eliminating excessive redness on the face. Laser treatment for red blood streaks is the most effective.

Prevention of facial redness

1. Never use external products containing any irritating ingredients. Pay attention to preventing ultraviolet rays, fruit acids, and other factors from irritating the skin. Be sure to use familiar cosmetics. Every time you change to unfamiliar cosmetics, it will bring new risks.

3. Keep your skin clean, wash your face with warm water frequently, and keep your skin hydrated; do not use skin care products containing sensitive ingredients or irritating ingredients;

4. Eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy foods, and try to avoid eating fish, shrimp, crab, seafood, beef, mutton, etc.

5. Avoid exposure to wind and sun to reduce the physical stimulation of the skin caused by harsh environment.
