flushed cheeks all the time
by james114, Sep 28, 2009 07:39PM
I always have extremely red flushed cheeks even when they don't feel hot. They dont have bumps so I know it isnt rosacea and my skin isnt extremely dry its just causing a large self esteem issue and I really have no idea how to stop it. I've looked all over the internet and I think i might have Keratosis Pilaris Rubra Faceii. Does anyone have an idea to what I might be able to do?

It can be either keratosis pilrais rubra faceii or rosacea.Keratosis pilaris rubra faceii is a constant and unrelenting reddish rash on the cheeks (blushed look). It is more widespread in patients with atopic dermatitis (eczema) and seems to run in families. Since it is self limiting, so no medicine is required but it is important to differentiate it from rosacea. It can be done by biopsy. So please consult a dermatologist and get it done.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
