Skin redness

Skin redness or erythema, is a condition where the skin turns red due to increased blood flow to the superficial blood vessels. Common causes include infections, allergic reactions, inflammatory conditions, physical causes like sunburn, and injuries. It often accompanies other symptoms such as itching, swelling, pain, and rashes. Allergens, bacterial or viral infections, and autoimmune disorders commonly trigger skin redness. Immediate treatment usually involves identifying and removing the cause, applying topical treatments, or taking antihistamines. Persistent or severe cases should prompt a visit to a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
