Erythema

Erythema This is a dermatological symptom characterised by redness of the skin, which is most commonly caused by the dilation of blood vessels. It may occur temporarily in response to various factors, such as stress, physical exertion, changes in temperature or alcohol consumption. Persistent erythema, on the other hand, may be associated with skin conditions, including, amongst others, rosacea.

Redness most commonly occurs on the face, particularly around the cheeks, nose and chin. Depending on the cause, it may be temporary or persistent. If the redness persists for a long time, recurs frequently or is accompanied by other skin changes, it is advisable to consult a specialist.

In aesthetic medicine, the following are used, amongst other things, in the treatment of erythema: laser technologies and IPL. Treatments can be targeted at closure of dilated blood vessels, reducing the appearance of redness and improving skin tone. The choice of treatment depends on the cause of the erythema, the type of lesions and the condition of the skin.

Proper skin care, sun protection and minimising factors that may exacerbate redness are also key elements of management. In the case of erythema associated with a skin condition, treatment should focus primarily on addressing the underlying cause.
