Having gorgeous, well-groomed skin without the slightest unevenness is the ultimate dream of every person. If a couple of decades ago, only representatives of the fair sex worried about the appearance of a rash on the cheeks, now literally everyone is concerned about this issue.

It is necessary to take decisive action and fight for the beauty of your skin in every possible way. They are quite simple and taking care of yourself is the main point to be accomplished.

What causes the appearance of acne on the cheeks?

After birth, babies often develop a rash on their face. The appearance of acne on the cheeks of a newborn is explained by the action of hormones of the mother's body. Gradually these substances are destroyed, the rash goes away even without treatment.

Acne or acne affects 80–90% of modern teenagers. The condition is common during puberty for boys and girls. The causes of acne are an excess of the sex hormone testosterone, physiological seborrhea. The skin often becomes inflamed as a result of overactive sebaceous glands, narrowing of the hair follicle channel and the accumulation of bacterial infection. Various types of acne occur: comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts.

Hormones that cause overproduction of sebum are testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, insulin-like growth factor type 1, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate.

As adulthood comes, testosterone levels stabilize and the response to this hormone decreases. Acne gradually recedes, but not for everyone. Women often notice signs of late acne, when pimples on the cheekbones and cheeks appear after 25–30 years. The most common cause is hormonal fluctuations caused by cyclical changes in the body.

It is known that predisposition to acne is inherited. The following factors contribute to its manifestation:

• Restructuring of hormonal levels during puberty, during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy in women.
• Skin irritation from linen, clothing, chemicals.
• Stress puts stress on the adrenal glands.
• Use of anabolic steroids.
• Overactivity of the sebaceous glands.
• Accumulation of dead skin cells.
• Bacterial activity in pores.
• Taking certain medications.

What complications can there be?

Any rash on the tongue or palate in adults and children requires evaluation by a specialist. In the absence of timely treatment, serious complications may arise due to further development of the disease. Rashes in the mouth can be complicated by:

• meningitis;
• airway obstruction;
• damage to the kidneys and heart muscle;
• intoxication of the body;
• retropharyngeal abscess;
• pneumonia;
• chronic pharyngitis;
• necrosis of soft tissues of the mouth;
• sepsis.

Features of localization and size of the rash

Of course, a rash on the face cannot occur in an adult for no reason. As you can see, the reasons can be very diverse. Experts have found that the formation of a rash in certain places is not random and will help you find out which organ is not working correctly:

• A rash on the cheeks and cheekbones indicates gallbladder dysfunction.
• Rashes on the chin indicate the presence of a disease of the genital organs.
• Pimples in the ears are a signal of poor immunity, as well as constant colds.
• Localization of the rash around the oral cavity indicates a malfunction of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Swelling of the eyelids indicates impaired renal function.
• A yellowish tint to the proteins indicates adrenal disease.

What you need to know about fighting acne on the cheeks?

The causes and treatment of acne are closely interrelated. The most difficult thing to identify is hormonal changes that affect the condition of the skin. To find out the cause, you need to contact a dermatologist, endocrinologist, therapist, girls and women - a gynecologist. Doctors will prescribe a course of therapy after a thorough examination. If there are problems in the gastrointestinal tract, it will be necessary to treat the underlying disease and improve the diet.

There is no way to predict how long it will take for your acne to clear up completely. This process greatly depends on the individual properties of the skin and the condition of the body.

Subcutaneous pimples on the cheeks are more difficult to treat; these rashes most often leave traces in the form of spots and scars. In such cases, combined ointments (antibiotic + corticosteroid; antibiotic + retinoid), anti-inflammatory and healing creams are used.

Forehead

A large number of sebaceous ducts are concentrated in the forehead area. If the sebaceous glands work in increased mode, sebum clogs the ducts and acne appears. The main hormone that affects the activity of the sebaceous glands is testosterone. Therefore, rashes on the forehead are a hallmark of teenage hormonal storms.

It is also believed that the forehead is a projection of the intestinal area. If the rash is localized in the upper area of ​​the forehead, there may be problems in the large intestine; if in the lower area, attention should be paid to the small intestine.

To avoid the rash

In order to ensure that unpleasant surprises arise as rarely as possible, you should be careful when using new cosmetics and procedures, unusual food products, clothing and bedding - everything that has direct contact with the skin of the face.

In addition, you should refrain from overusing:

• confectionery (especially chocolate) products;
• salty foods (marinades);
• citrus fruits (tangerines, oranges);
• honey;
• eggs;
• alcohol (especially with various natural additives);
• smoking.

Hygiene procedures should be carried out daily and the same type of skin care product should be used.

Successfully getting rid of a rash on the face caused by a chronic disease is impossible without a systematic approach to treating the cause.

That is why we decided to publish an interview with Elena Malysheva, in which she reveals in detail the secret of why the skin itches

and how to deal with it.

My face got all over my face as an adult - why does a rash appear on my cheeks? Allergic reactions are most often the cause of such a rash, but hormonal changes and so on are also possible.

Rash on the cheeks is a common occurrence in childhood and adolescence. But it is not uncommon for it to appear in adulthood. What can cause a rash and how to react to it?

Types of rashes

The word "pimple" is not an official medical term. The rashes are named depending on their characteristics:

1. A comedon is a sebaceous plug on the skin that causes future inflammation. These are exactly those notorious “black spots” that literally all women know about. Comedones can be open and hidden (internal), which, if they get infected from the outside, are transformed into a papule.

2. 
   A papule is a painful and inflamed pimple with a color ranging from red to distinct bluish.

3. A pustule is a papule that comes out in the form of a purulent “head”. Pustule and papule are classified as red pimples.
4. Cystic nodular pimples are conglomerates of pustules that have penetrated deep into the dermis. They require a professional approach and proper treatment.
5. Lightning acne is the most severe type of rash, which is accompanied by pain not only in the affected area, but also in the muscles. In this case, changes are possible even in the blood formula. Rashes on the face, the causes of which have led to such serious problems, are treated exclusively with medication with the obligatory use of specialized equipment.

Causes of a rash on the cheeks in an adult

To determine what action to take when you notice a rash on your face, you need to understand what caused this phenomenon. Sometimes the reason for the appearance of small pimples is quite harmless, and sometimes it is a signal of the presence of certain problems in the body.

Quite often, a rash on the cheeks of an adult appears due to allergies. It could be:

• allergic dermatitis;
• food allergies;
• eczema;
• allergies to cosmetics;
• reaction to medications.

The reason for this is contact with an allergen or ignoring preventive measures. Allergens that mainly cause this reaction in the body:

• household dust;
• red fruits and vegetables;
• citrus;
• animal hair;
• paints and varnishes;
• household chemicals;
• some plants.

Rash on the cheeks in adulthood can occur due to infection. One of the common skin diseases that manifests itself this way is acne. In this case, the rashes tend to increase in size, swelling and itching appear. A colorless rash may indicate the presence of seborrhea. This disease is sometimes accompanied by peeling of the skin and the appearance of pigmentation on it.

Small pimples often cause concern when they appear during the warm season. This is due to the increased action of the sebaceous glands and increased sweating during this period. In most cases, it is impossible to completely get rid of the problem, since it is inherent to a certain skin type. But the use of special lotions in summer can alleviate its manifestations.

Small rashes and itchy skin are characteristic of measles. This infection tends to appear not only on the face, but throughout the body, including the arms, legs and head. Often accompanied by fever.

Diseases such as measles, as well as rubella or scarlet fever, in which adults develop a rash on the skin, are quite difficult to tolerate in adulthood. Therefore, for those who did not have them in childhood, doctors recommend preventive vaccinations.

Another reason for the appearance of a rash is hormonal changes. This phenomenon is absolutely normal in adolescence, for pregnant women, as well as women entering menopause.

The reasons why rashes are not considered pathological are:

• consequences of prolonged exposure to the sun or solarium;
• hypothermia;
• smoking and alcohol abuse;
• rare exposure to fresh air;
• poor nutrition, in particular, excessive consumption of sweets;
• mistakes in skin care;
• clogged pores when using cosmetics;
• suffered stress;
• vitamin deficiency.

These processes cannot be called beneficial to health. There are times when a rash on the face is a symptom of a very dangerous problem. Such pathologies include diseases:

• in the field of gynecology;
• gastrointestinal tract;
• gallbladder;
• kidney;
• sexually transmitted;
• immunodeficiency;
• diabetes.

Mites, which often live in pillows, can also trigger the appearance of a rash. Another serious reason is the consequences of taking potent drugs, such as antibiotics or hormonal drugs. Some opinions are inclined to believe that the localization of pimples on the cheek indicates the presence of problems with the stomach, intestines or gall bladder.

Other reasons

A pimple in the mouth can appear due to an autoimmune disease, such as lupus erythematosus. With a complicated course of the disease, rashes appear in the mouth, which after some time can become ulcers, causing great discomfort to the person.

• With sexually transmitted infections, one of the symptoms is a rash in the mouth. This can happen with syphilis.
• A fistula is also a pimple on the gum, which indicates that the inflammatory process is localized in the tooth cavity. If the root of the tooth is destroyed and pus appears, this leads to the formation of a fistula, which tends to break through and release pus from the gums. If such a process occurs, then it is necessary to remove the diseased tooth, and the cavity in the gum is thoroughly cleaned and drained. If the fistula is not treated, it can cause dangerous inflammation of the gums and even the jawbone.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with Fungus in the mouth due to HIV - HIV and AIDS

• Measles and chickenpox can cover not only the human body with pimples, but also the oral cavity. It is prohibited to use ointments to treat pimples in the mouth; they can only be treated with brilliant green.
• There is another disease in which rashes appear on the inside of the mouth. This is glossitis, which causes a person to experience severe pain and swelling of the oral cavity. It is strictly forbidden to neglect the disease, otherwise small pimples will grow into large growths. This disease occurs most often in people who abuse alcohol, suffer from allergies, and those whose diet does not include all the necessary vitamins and minerals.
• Smokers may suffer from acne in the mouth. To get rid of them, you need to stop smoking. Excessive consumption of too spicy and hot foods may cause red pimples. This occurs due to damage to the mucosa. It can also be damaged mechanically, in which case the pimples will be black due to hemorrhage of small vessels.

How to treat depending on the cause

It is difficult to independently determine the cause of the rash; it is better to consult a doctor. A mandatory reason to visit a dermatologist is the rapid spread of the rash, its transformation into pustules or blisters, or a long stay on the face.

If the cause of the rash on the cheeks is not determined to be a serious illness, you should try to eliminate harmful factors from your life. For example, carefully study the cosmetics you used (for men, these are aftershave and aftershave products), and try to give up bad habits. Recently, popular recommendations in cosmetology include taking baths with sea salt and performing procedures using cosmetics from the Dead Sea.

For those who are faced with the problem of regular rashes, it is also important to reconsider their diet. It will be useful to reduce the consumption of fatty, spicy and sweet foods. It is advisable to take a vitamin complex.

If you have an allergy, it is important, first of all, to avoid contact with the allergen, and then the doctor will prescribe the necessary antihistamines.

Those with oily skin whose pimples appear due to the heat, as already mentioned, are advised to purchase drying agents at the pharmacy.

For an infection such as acne or measles, bed rest and treatment with drugs such as corticosteroids and antibiotics are most often required, and it is advisable to limit the contact of the sick person with healthy people.

If the disease that caused the rash is discovered, it will be necessary to eliminate the root cause, and not the pimples themselves. Only professional doctors can help in this matter.

How is the diagnosis carried out?

Diagnostic measures for identifying herpes in the mouth include several stages:

Differential diagnosis, which is necessary for correct diagnosis, deserves special attention. It is necessary to distinguish herpes from stomatitis (not herpetic). Clinical studies have shown that there are certain differences between these pathological processes:

1. Localization. Herpes in the mouth is located in one place (tongue, cheeks, gums). Stomatitis is characterized by simultaneous damage to several zones.
2. Rash. After opening the herpetic blisters, ulcers remain in their place, which gradually heal. With stomatitis, there are no blisters, and ulcers appear on the mucous membrane immediately.
3. Damage zone. Herpes rashes are characterized by the location of blisters near bone structures. Only then does it spread to soft tissues. Stomatitis, on the contrary, initially affects the lips and the inner surface of the cheeks.

Acute herpetic stomatitis is one of the dangerous types of stomatitis

Preventing rashes

• regularly wash and cleanse your face;
• be careful when choosing cosmetics and monitor their expiration date;
• do not use products that have changed color, consistency or smell;
• ventilate the home and humidify the air;
• instead of a towel, use napkins for your face;
• include fatty fish or fish oil in your diet;
• eat more healthy foods (excluding those to which you are allergic);
• spend more time outdoors;
• take vitamins and immune boosters.

It would be a good idea to visit a cosmetologist to choose the right facial skin care products and decorative cosmetics. People prone to allergies or gastrointestinal problems need to visit a specialist doctor several times a year.

What is important to know when treating a rash

Remember: oily skin does not mean moisturized! Active moisturizing of the skin is considered one of the important steps to beauty and health.

Please note: creams and suspensions, if used excessively, can cause drying and peeling of the skin, which, in turn, will aggravate the situation.

Important: if inflamed areas of the face are regularly disinfected, not only pathogenic microorganisms will be destroyed in the skin, but also beneficial protective flora!

Before using serious hormonal drugs, it is necessary to undergo a whole range of tests. It is better to use such serious medications only under the supervision of your doctor.

“Why do I need this”: looking for reasons

So, in order to once remove acne and no longer see it on your skin, you should first of all get to the bottom of the reasons for the appearance of rashes. There are many of them, so we will deal with each one in turn.

Doctors say that pimples on the cheeks may indicate problems with the lungs. Moreover, which is symbolic, if the rash systematically affects the right cheek, then the problem is in the right lung, and if the left one, then the problem is in the left. To immediately rule out this type of acne, you need to see a specialist and check your respiratory organs.

In addition, white pimples on the cheeks can signal problems in the gastrointestinal tract. If the digestive system is overloaded and cannot cope with its duties, the body tries to remove accumulated toxins through the skin. The result is rashes. In this case, diet will help. Namely, refusal of fried, spicy, too salty, sweet, rich and fast food. Plus, you should limit your consumption of alcohol, carbonated drinks, coffee, nuts and ice cream.

There is no need to overeat before going to bed, or especially in the middle of the night - this is a serious additional burden on the stomach. It is better to add seasonal fresh, stewed or baked vegetables, as well as fruits, herbs, and juices to your diet. Be sure to drink at least a liter of clean water every day. After some time, this “treatment” of acne with proper nutrition will lead to beautiful, clean and refreshed skin.

Sometimes, on the contrary, excessive concern for one’s health leads to rashes on the cheekbones. For example, an abundance of pharmacy vitamins. Of course, strengthening the immune system is very important and this desire is very commendable, but, as they say, everything is good in moderation. You should not buy and swallow packs of pills from advertised boxes. It is much more correct to choose one vitamin complex and take the pills according to the instructions, and not because “you can’t spoil the porridge with butter” or “you want something tasty.”

The reason why rashes appear on the cheeks can also be low-quality, expired or comedogenic decorative cosmetics. What cosmetics are called comedogenic? Those that clog pores, ultimately leading to excess sebum and acne. So, these can be rich blush, lipsticks, oil-based cleansing lotions. In addition, you need to make sure that brushes, sponges, puffs, washcloths and everything that touches your face when applying makeup are always clean. After all, if a cat first played with a powder pad and then powdered its cheeks with it, then, in principle, the appearance of acne should not be surprising.

Blushes that are too oily can be comedogenic

Of course, if acne suddenly appears on your cheeks, you should not rule out an allergy - to the same cosmetics, some product or medication. Plus, if the rash appeared while taking antibiotics or hormonal pills, then this may well be an ordinary side effect provided for in the instructions. As a rule, after completing the course of treatment, acne goes away.

Why else might a rash appear on the cheeks? Sometimes climate conditions are to blame. If it is stiflingly hot outside, and at the same time the humidity is high, then this is a very favorable environment for acne to appear. Especially if the young lady has the habit of wiping her sweaty face with her hands - then the pores will instantly become clogged with street dirt and dust. In general, you need to put it down once and for all: you can’t touch your skin with unwashed hands – it’s taboo!

But in men, rashes on the cheeks often appear as a result of irritation after shaving. So, if the blade is dull and does not shave hair well, the integrity of the top layer of skin is compromised, hair follicles are damaged, infection gets into the enlarged pores - and hello, acne!

In addition, the cause of inflammation in both sexes can be severe stress, weakened immunity after illness, or lack of vitamins. You should know that if you have acne on your face, you should not use a scrub yet, so as not to aggravate the situation. And if the rash does not go away for quite a long period of time, it is better to consult a dermatologist.

Take care of yourself and always remain beautiful!

A rash on the cheeks most often appears in children and adolescents, but adults are also affected. The causes of pimples can be different. Hormonal changes during puberty cause skin problems in about 80% of people. Acne appears in the area of ​​the cheeks, forehead and chin. Rashes can also be found on the body. Acne on the cheeks of young people cannot be cured with creams and lotions. You should undergo a full examination and take a biochemical blood test. In some cases, it is impossible to do without hormonal correction. All medications must be prescribed by a doctor; self-medication can lead to serious consequences, including infertility.

Internal organ health indicator

Eastern medicine has long drawn parallels between the cleanliness of the skin and the state of health. An experienced healer only needs a glance to understand which organ is wrong in his patient:

• pimples that often appear in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds can signal problems with the large intestine;
• localization of rashes in the lower cheek area indicates problems with the lungs;
• in those suffering from stomach diseases, pimples can be observed in the middle and upper parts of the cheeks;
• in women, a rash in areas close to the chin is a symptom of diseases of the pelvic organs.

A large number of subcutaneous pimples on any part of the face indicate a high probability of endocrine system disorders.

How to cleanse your facial skin?

1. In order not to waste time on local treatment, which brings a temporary effect, you should first visit a dermatologist. Diseases of internal organs are often asymptomatic, especially in the initial stages. The examinations and tests prescribed by the doctor will either identify ailments or eliminate their likelihood, and this will make it possible to prescribe effective therapy.

2. In the case where the cause of acne on the cheeks is a disease of any of the internal organs, you need to focus on healing it, while simultaneously carrying out local treatment of the skin of the cheeks. All medications must be prescribed by a doctor. Specialized products for eliminating acne, such as Skinoren, Zinerit, Baziron, are very effective in the fight against acne. To achieve better results, they should be used after consultation with a specialist.

3. If the problems did not arise due to hormonal imbalance, infection or illness, then the fight against them can be carried out at home. Zinc and ichthyol ointments work well for inflamed acne on the skin. To “pull out” the purulent contents, you can use compresses from aloe leaves. Salicylic alcohol effectively helps cleanse pores.

4. A popular “home” method that many people use to cleanse the pores on their cheeks is steam baths. For them, they use both ordinary water and decoctions of medicinal herbs: string, chamomile, sage and others.

Subcutaneous acne, which is difficult to treat, is treated with badyagi ointment. It quickly stops inflammation and promotes the release of contents.

5. To get rid of acne, you can use the achievements of hardware cosmetology:

• laser resurfacing – removes sebaceous plugs and blackheads, removes the stratum corneum of the epidermis, accelerates regenerative processes in the skin;
• mesotherapy – a properly selected set of drugs treats acne and prevents relapses;
• Ozone therapy - the antiseptic properties of ozone, introduced under the skin in a problem area, can effectively eliminate acne and pimples.

6. In addition, facial cleansing is done in a beauty salon:

• mechanical;
• ultrasonic;
• laser;
• chemical.

7. For some women, it is enough to slightly adjust their lifestyle to forget about multi-layered decorative cosmetics:

• give up overly sweet, spicy, salty foods and smoked foods, eat more vegetables, fruits and herbs;
• reduce the consumption of coffee and carbonated drinks in favor of green tea or pure water;
• pay more attention to hygiene procedures and skin care;
• do not take vitamins and medications without medical supervision;
• choose cosmetics carefully;
• Periodically visit the sauna or bathhouse, increase physical activity.

It's easy to see why it's important to follow these recommendations. Preventing the appearance of acne on the skin is much easier than fighting it and eliminating its consequences.

A rash on the cheeks most often appears in children and adolescents, but adults are also affected. The causes of pimples can be different. Hormonal changes during puberty cause skin problems in about 80% of people. Acne appears in the area of ​​the cheeks, forehead and chin. Rashes can also be found on the body. Acne on the cheeks of young people cannot be cured with creams and lotions. You should undergo a full examination and take a biochemical blood test. In some cases, it is impossible to do without hormonal correction. All medications must be prescribed by a doctor; self-medication can lead to serious consequences, including infertility.

Skin rashes are a symptom of chronic diseases

The organs of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, gall bladder play an important role in the life of the human body. Any change in the condition of the skin, nails and hair is associated with poor nutrition and impaired absorption of nutrients in the intestines. Skin rashes are no exception. Sometimes the skin of the body is in a healthy condition, but pimples appear on the face every now and then. This may indicate a dysfunction of a particular organ. A rash on the right cheek often appears with stomach diseases. Rashes near the nasolabial fold may indicate problems with the intestines. occurs with pathologies of the genitourinary system.

Damage to the lateral areas of the cheeks occurs in diseases of the respiratory system, and the bridge of the nose occurs in diseases of the liver. The condition of a person’s skin directly depends on his emotional mood.

Stress has a negative impact on the most vulnerable part of the body. For some it is the intestines, for others it is the liver and kidneys. If the functions of one of the organs are impaired, the condition of the entire body, including the skin, worsens. Depression, dissatisfaction with oneself, psycho-emotional overload make the body unable to resist infection. A rash on the cheeks of an adult is often a symptom of an infectious disease. In addition, stress also affects hormonal levels, which leads to the appearance of acne.

Rashes on the cheeks often occur under the influence of external factors. Pimples on the face appear when you touch the skin with dirty hands. On the left cheek, infectious rashes may appear due to the habit of writing and reading, supporting the head with the hand. In women, a rash on the cheeks appears due to the incorrect selection of cosmetics. Low-quality products contain toxic chemical compounds that lead to allergic reactions even in a healthy person.

If you have acne, you should be more careful when choosing hygiene products and decorative cosmetics. You should avoid cosmetics containing red pigments, sulfur or lanolin. Weather conditions contribute to the exacerbation of the disease. People with oily skin have a harder time withstanding hot weather, so due to the production of excess sebum, they face problems such as acne. A rash on the skin of the face can be caused by exposure to waste products of dust mites that live in feather pillows and mattresses. To get rid of the problem, it is enough to replace these accessories.

Allergy treatment

• Self-medication will not save you from allergies, but will only worsen the situation,
• If you are prone to allergic reactions, you should always keep an antihistamine at home,
• Following a hypoallergenic diet will relieve symptoms of food allergies,
• Limit contact with the allergen.

Diagnosis at the first stage

An independent attempt to find out what kind of diagnosis appears on the face in most cases still leads to a dermatologist’s office, so it is better to immediately seek help from a competent specialist. However, if for some reason this is impossible, there is an option to adopt a method for calculating the cause from professionals.

The most common reasons why a rash appears on the cheeks of an adult:

• hormonal changes (most often occur in women during pregnancy, taking hormonal medications, diseases of the endocrine system, PMS);
• bacterial infection (unhindered proliferation of introduced microorganisms due to a decrease in the skin’s own immune response, due to excessive use of care products, as well as in a state of immunodeficiency);
• a sharp response of the body to a stress reaction (a neurological cause that causes individual pinpoint rashes);
• photodermatitis caused by taking certain medications or contact with an alkaloid (local allergic skin reaction to ultraviolet radiation or the juice of the hogweed plant);
• hypovitaminosis, or, on the contrary, a case of vitamin deficiency;
• a sharp increase in skin oiliness when changing hygiene products (soap, lotion), or stopping daily hygiene procedures (the abundance of secretions secreted by the sebaceous glands prevents the ducts from self-cleaning and clogs them);
• food poisoning (intoxication can also be caused by a large amount of nicotine, caffeine or alcohol taken the day before);
• problems with the functioning of the gallbladder can affect the level of acids in the gastrointestinal tract; familiar but poorly digestible food can act like an allergen;
• sexually transmitted disease (the rash usually affects other areas: groin area, armpits, chest, etc.);
• local hypothermia (may appear as a rash only after a few hours)
• infection with subcutaneous scabies mite (covers primarily areas of the body with thinner skin, transmitted by contact and sexual contact).

Until the cause of the rash is determined, you should not use cosmetics, ointments, lotions, and you should strictly refrain from scratching the skin with your nails!

Skin inflammations are diagnosed based on basic visual signs only after a collected medical history. First, it’s worth finding out whether the patient has a systemic disease (diabetes, lupus, thyroid disease, HIV, etc.). Conditions such as pregnancy, a tendency to allergies, and recently started taking new medications can immediately narrow down the range of causes of the unpleasant phenomenon. In these cases, an allergic reaction is most likely and treatment will be symptomatic, based on the degree of its development. Itching at the site of redness is not necessary, since this is often a secondary, nervous reaction to the changes that have occurred.
