Frequent but non-malignant facial erythema is the reddish colour of facial skin (mainly on the nose and cheeks). Changed facial colour which is initially expressed as a passing flush, tends to be permanent and the skin becomes patchy due to continuous expansion of small blood vessels. Chronic obstruction to blood flow leads to the formation of stinging and burning sensations and facial erythema. Permanent facial erythema forms and deepens due to the impact of different environmental factors which can be solar radiation, rapid temperature changes, spicy food, hot or alcoholic beverages, emotions or stress. Skin erythema occurs most frequently in case of thin and fair skin and it usually deepens in older age if not treated.
