What to do if your cheeks get red easily



Redness of the cheeks may be due to hormone-dependent dermatitis, rosacea or excessive acid brushing or exfoliation, etc. It is recommended that patients clarify the specific cause of the disease under the guidance of a doctor, and then treat the symptoms with medication or laser therapy.

1. Hormone-dependent dermatitis: When patients apply hormone-containing products for a long period of time, hormone-dependent dermatitis may be caused, which makes the cheeks red easily. In addition to stopping the application of hormone products, the treatment should also use drugs to repair the skin barrier, such as growth factor gel and pimecrolimus ointment.

2. Rosacea: For patients with rosacea, the cheeks tend to redden when the facial skin is subjected to hot or cold stimuli or when they are emotionally agitated. Minocycline hydrochloride or isotretinoin can be taken orally to improve the treatment.

3. Excessive acid brushing and exfoliation: excessive acid brushing or exfoliation by the patient may lead to damage to the skin barrier on the face and the formation of excessive capillary expansion. Patients can improve this through medication to repair the skin barrier or lasers that close blood vessels such as dye lasers.

For patients whose cheeks are prone to redness, it is recommended that they go to a regular hospital in time for examination and symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
