Temporary redness can come from embarrassment (blushing) or a menopausal hot flush. However, more lasting redness can be due to a range of reasons including sunburn or a reaction to alcohol, as well various skin conditions. This redness, known as erythema, can be caused by dry or sensitive skin. It can also be due to an underlying skin condition such as eczema or contact dermatitis \u2013 or an infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll probably find that you have other symptoms alongside the redness, acting as clues to help you, or your healthcare practitioner, identify what the problem is.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-karopharma-free-text pt-large pb-large bg-center bg-cover bg-no-repeat  undefined\" style=\"background-image:url()\"><div class=\"free-text-wrapper container max-w-small text-left\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left is-style-heading-h2 wp-block-heading\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#section1\">Symptoms associated with red skin<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#section2\">Conditions linked to red skin<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#section3\">Red skin triggers and factors<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#section4\">How to manage red skin<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#section5\">Self-care for red skin<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-karopharma-free-text pt-large pb-large bg-center bg-cover bg-no-repeat  undefined is-style-primary\" style=\"background-image:url()\" id=\"section1\"><div class=\"free-text-wrapper container max-w-small text-left\">\n<h2 class=\"is-style-heading-h1 wp-block-heading\" id=\"title-1\">Symptoms associated with red skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Itchy skin<\/li><li>Flaky skin<\/li><li>Red skin<\/li><li>Inflamed skin<\/li><li>Blisters\/ pustules<\/li><li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hives\/urticaria<\/a><\/li><li>Bumpy skin<\/li><li>Dryness<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.karopharma.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/red-skin.jpg\" alt=\"Red skin\" class=\"wp-image-19765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles.karopharma.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/red-skin.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/articles.karopharma.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/red-skin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles.karopharma.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/red-skin-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-karopharma-free-text pt-large pb-large bg-center bg-cover bg-no-repeat  undefined\" style=\"background-image:url()\" id=\"section2\"><div class=\"free-text-wrapper container max-w-small text-left\">\n<h2 class=\"is-style-heading-h1 wp-block-heading\" id=\"title-2\">Conditions linked to red skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for skin redness is sometimes obvious but on other occasions, it might be less clear. It might be because you have dry skin, it could be a reaction to an allergen or irritant and\/or due to a skin infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Dry skin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry skin develops if you don\u2019t have enough moisture or oils in your skin. Although it\u2019s more common in older people, anyone can develop dry skin as a reaction to our environment, the clothes we wear and everyday products that we use. Mild dry skin may not cause any redness at all, but it\u2019s with more severe dry skin that some redness can appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Eczema<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eczema is a dry, inflammatory skin condition. If you have eczema your skin may not produce as much fat and oils as normal skin, which means it doesn\u2019t trap moisture as effectively. There are different types of eczema, many of which have red skin as a symptom. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Atopic eczema \u2013 which usually starts in childhood, though up to 1 in 10 adults also develop the condition. It\u2019s more common if you have asthma and\/or hayfever<\/li><li>Contact dermatitis \u2013 a type of eczema caused by your skin coming into contact with an allergen or irritant. If you have the type of job where you are exposed to allergens and irritants regularly \u2013 for example hairdresser, cleaner or bar worker \u2013 then you\u2019re more prone to developing contact dermatitis<\/li><li>Seborrhoeic eczema \u2013 this is better known as cradle cap in babies and dandruff in adults, where men are at slightly more increased risk.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Infections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin infections can be caused by fungi and yeasts, bacteria and viruses. Obviously, there are many, many different organisms that can cause problems but some of the more common skin infections are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Fungal skin infections. Athlete\u2019s foot or ringworm are both caused by a type of fungus called a dermatophyte. Around 70% of us have athlete\u2019s foot at some point in our lives, particularly as teenagers. Most people with athlete\u2019s foot have white or red skin with scaly or moist skin between the toes, usually between the two smallest toes<\/li><li>Bacterial skin infections. In addition to causing red skin, bacterial skin infections can also make your skin feel hot and swollen, and you may develop lumps or abscesses. While most bacterial skin infections clear up on their own or with antibiotics, some can be serious if not treated quickly \u2013 like cellulitis<\/li><li>Viral skin infections. There are many viral skin infections, but one thing a lot of them have in common is a red rash. This can be due to common childhood conditions, such as measles or chickenpox, and will be accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, tiredness and headache.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Psoriasis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common type of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis, where there are pink-red patches of skin covered in silver-white scales \u2013 particularly on the limbs, trunk and scalp. Psoriasis develops when the rate at which our skin cells are renewed happens much faster than normal. There are times when psoriasis can flare up and your skin is more irritated than usual \u2013 for example after an infection, from exposure to intense sunlight or because of stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Rosacea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosacea is an incurable skin problem that affects people with fair skin, usually between the ages of 40 and 60. Although you\u2019re more likely to develop the condition if you\u2019re a woman, men tend to have worse symptoms. Rosacea usually affects the face and the first sign can be that you blush more easily than normal. Over time, your cheeks, chin, forehead and nose change colour to become a darker red. You\u2019ll also notice the blood vessels in these areas become dilated and your skin develops pustules and bumps, which looks like acne. Some people find the skin around their eyes also becomes swollen or their nose gets enlarged \u2013 more commonly in men. It\u2019s not really known what causes rosacea but it could be a mix of environmental factors, genetics and your immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Urticaria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Urticaria, also known as nettle rash or hives, tends to affect people between the ages of 20 and 40 and is more common in women. It happens when chemicals, such as histamine, are released in the skin \u2013 causing a red, raised itchy rash. Urticaria can occur after a viral infection, particularly in children. It can also develop if you have an allergic reaction to food \u2013 for example peanuts, shellfish, milk and eggs \u2013 or insect bites, medicines like penicillin, and latex. For some people, it can just be triggered by coming into contact with sunlight, cold, heat or water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.karopharma.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Urticaria.jpg\" alt=\"Urticaria\" class=\"wp-image-19733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles.karopharma.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Urticaria.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/articles.karopharma.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Urticaria-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles.karopharma.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Urticaria-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-karopharma-free-text pt-large pb-large bg-center bg-cover bg-no-repeat  undefined is-style-primary\" style=\"background-image:url()\" id=\"section3\"><div class=\"free-text-wrapper container max-w-small text-left\">\n<h2 class=\"is-style-heading-h2 wp-block-heading\">Red skin triggers and factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there are many things that can make our skin go red \u2013 from what we eat and what we wear to our lifestyle \u2013 it might take some time figuring out the specific cause in each case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Allergens and irritants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergens and irritants can cause red skin reactions. House-dust mites, pollen, pet dander, perfume, cosmetics, hair dyes, metals such as nickel, medicines and plants can all be common culprits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to manage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>If you can, try to avoid the allergen or irritant<\/li><li>If you can\u2019t avoid it, wash it off as soon as you can after touching and ideally, use an emollient soap substitute<\/li><li>When you\u2019re dusting, wipe with a damp cloth rather than a duster (this can spread allergens into the air)<\/li><li>Use unscented products, including skincare, as much as possible<\/li><li>Antihistamines can help you keep your allergies under control.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Cleansers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Soaps and cleansers are detergents which can remove vital water and fats from our skin, making the skin barrier less robust. If you have dry skin, eczema, contact dermatitis or rosacea, cleansers can irritate your skin, making it worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to manage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Use an emollient soap substitute to wash instead of soap<\/li><li>Swap long, hot baths for short baths or showers with luke-warm water (10 minutes maximum)<\/li><li>Steer clear of perfumed products<\/li><li>If you have rosacea, don\u2019t scrub your skin when washing your face<\/li><li>Use cotton-lined gloves when washing up<\/li><li>Take off any rings before you wash your hands to stop soap from collecting underneath<\/li><li>To keep your clothes irritant-free, rinse them twice when washing and consider using fabric balls instead of detergent.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Sweat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people with eczema or rosacea can find that sweating makes their condition worse. That\u2019s because as we sweat, we lose water from the skin and sodium in our sweat can irritate the skin surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to manage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Exercise that makes you sweat can make rosacea and eczema worse, so try gentle rather than intense exercises<\/li><li>Drink water and moisturise before and after exercise to stay hydrated<\/li><li>Wear the right clothes \u2013 tight, synthetic fibres can irritate, so choose loose, natural fabrics instead<\/li><li>It\u2019s okay to take breaks \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s encouraged<\/li><li>Cold pads can help cool your skin<\/li><li>Shower daily, especially after a workout to rinse off any sweat and avoid irritating skin further,<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some foods can cause urticaria and irritant contact dermatitis, causing redness. Others can make rosacea worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to manage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid foods that trigger a reaction as much as possible \u2013 you might find it helpful to keep a food diary to help you identify the culprit&#13;\nIf you have rosacea, alcohol, hot drinks and spicy foods can be particularly irritable for your skin&#13;\nWear cotton-lined gloves and wash with soap substitute before and after food preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Stress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our body\u2019s natural response to stress is to release certain chemicals to help it cope. However, these can have a negative effect on our skin \u2013 making dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to manage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Try relaxation techniques, like deep breathing, mediation, yoga or tai chi<\/li><li>Distract yourself from your stress by doing something more relaxing instead \u2013 like baking, knitting, writing or painting<\/li><li>Get a good night\u2019s sleep if you can<\/li><li>Exercise is always good, so make sure it becomes a regular thing for you<\/li><li>If you find that you\u2019re struggling to manage your stress, contact a healthcare professional for advice.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Weather and temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything that reduces humidity \u2013 such as air conditioning, central heating or wood burners \u2013 can make your skin dry, leading to redness. As a result, dry skin, eczema and psoriasis are worse in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to manage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Keep your house at the ideal temperate of 18\u00b0C<\/li><li>Extremes of temperature also make rosacea worse<\/li><li>If you want to increase the humidity in your home, use a humidifier or place bowls of water under radiators<\/li><li>Avoid convection heaters, if you can<\/li><li>Your rosacea can be sensitive to the sun, so always make sure you wear a sunblock of at least SPF 30 to protect your skin.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-karopharma-free-text pt-large pb-large bg-center bg-cover bg-no-repeat  undefined\" style=\"background-image:url()\" id=\"section4\"><div class=\"free-text-wrapper container max-w-small text-left\">\n<h2 class=\"is-style-heading-h2 wp-block-heading\">How to manage red skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding out what\u2019s causing your red skin can help you manage it better. There\u2019s a big difference between treating eczema and treating a fungal infection, for example. There are many different treatments available that can help ease red skin depending on the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Emollients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If dry skin, eczema, contact dermatitis or psoriasis are the underlying cause of your redness, then using an emollient regularly can help. Emollients are moisturisers which should be applied often everyday \u2013 at least twice a day. Always use generous amounts, even when you feel your skin doesn\u2019t need them. However, always read and follow the instructions on the emollient you are about to use, unless told to otherwise by your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying emollients regularly can help soothe red skin by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Adding moisture to skin and trapping it inside<\/li><li>Forming a protective barrier over the skin to keep irritants out<\/li><li>Helping flare ups of conditions, such as eczema.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Washing with an emollient or soap substitute is also recommended as regular soaps and cleansers can irritate the skin and cause further dryness. Emollients don\u2019t foam up like soaps, but they still work to get you clean. If you\u2019re having a bath, you can also add emollient bath oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Steroids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mild steroid creams and ointments can be bought from your pharmacy to help relieve contact dermatitis and mild-to-moderate eczema &#8211; helping to reduce redness. These types of creams can also help with insect bites and \u200bcertain forms of allergies; please always read the label to ensure you are using the steroid product correctly and for the right thing. If in doubt, talk to a healthcare practitioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to know that majority of steroid creams are applied very differently to emollients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Apply very thinly and to just a small area<\/li><li>Apply once or twice a day for a maximum of 7 days (always check the label of your product)<\/li><li>Only apply to certain parts of the body and not to the face, eyes, broken or infected skin, genital areas or the bottom<\/li><li>Majority have age restrictions so please check the label<\/li><li>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should speak to your doctor before using a steroid cream.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your redness is still there after a week, see your doctor as you may need a different treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Antihistamines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Antihistamines can be used to help relieve certain conditions such as atopic eczema, contact dermatitis and urticaria. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice on taking an antihistamine that\u2019s right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Antifungals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Antifungal creams and ointments are available to treat athlete\u2019s foot and ringworm. Some also contain a mild steroid to help reduce any inflammation. Consult with your pharmacist before use to ensure the product is correct for your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Speak to your doctor or pharmacist if:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Self-care treatment has not worked after a week<\/li><li>If the redness is getting worse or the red area is growing bigger very quickly<\/li><li>The red area is hot, swollen, painful or blistered<\/li><li>You also feel unwell<\/li><li>If there is a rash that doesn\u2019t fade when you press a glass against the skin.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-karopharma-free-text pt-large pb-large bg-center bg-cover bg-no-repeat  undefined is-style-secondary\" style=\"background-image:url()\" id=\"section5\"><div class=\"free-text-wrapper container max-w-small text-left\">\n<h2 class=\"is-style-heading-h2 wp-block-heading\">Self-Care for red skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-care can include avoiding triggers, using emollients daily to manage dry skin and taking care with your lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Use an emollient moisturiser daily and regularly<\/li><li>Take care when choosing clothing and fabrics<\/li><li>Protect skin appropriately; this can include sunscreen<\/li><li>Switch from soap to a non-soapy emollient cleanser<\/li><li>Keep showers short and use tepid or cool water<\/li><li>Use cool pads as a soothing compress.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-heading-h4 wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li>Eat foods that can cause an allergic reaction \u2013 such as shellfish or dairy products \u2013 or that make rosacea worse, for example alcohol, hot drinks and spicy foods<\/li><li>Scratch skin<\/li><li>Have long, hot baths or showers<\/li><li>Expose skin to extreme temperatures<\/li><li>Expose skin to known irritants or allergens.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"product-list wp-block-karopharma-product-list\" data-testid=\"product-list\">\n      <p class=\"hidden\">No products found<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":20670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[849],"tags":[840],"class_list":["post-20669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-skin-symptoms-en-za","tag-e45"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Red skin - Article Database |\u00a0Karo Pharma<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We\u2019ve all had red skin at some point in our lives.
