When is A Flush Not Just A Blush Or A Rush

Are you suddenly flushed? Feverish, hot flashing, embarrassed because you mom just busted out nude pictures of you to your new boyfriend? All of those reasons to be flushed are not much to worry about. Flushing to the skin in those cases probably is just actual blood flow rushing to the skin filling the blood vessels: blood red, and the flush can subside as quickly as the giggle of embarrassment or the heat of the hot flash. But other responses, don't be so fast to write them off. For instance, flushing red within 15-60 minutes of eating fish could actually be a sign of poisoning. Now those suffering from that sort of reaction the skin flush is a histamine release and the histamine release doesn't usually just cause cheek blush: could be whole upper body and have other symptoms such as fast heart rate, nausea, headache, and in worse cases more severe system wide symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. If the flush you have is itchy, as a raised area or a bump, consider a bug bite. But simple blush to both sides of cheeks, it's unlikely that's going to be the source. Those with more chronic red and blotchy completions are more likely to have Rosacea, a skin condition that is common, and formal definitions can be found at their national organization site. Those with rosacea also may have a burning or stinging to the redness, feeling like you've just come in from the sleet or from running a 5K into the wind on a sandy beech. Too harsh a chemical in your soap can also produce that same redness and stinging feeling that's just improper skin care. If you regularly get care with an aesthetician then she can help you understand your diagnosis, which is the first step in leaading to a cure.
