What is the reason for the red blood streaks on the child's face?

Everyone knows about plateau erythema, which is two red spots on the face. It is called plateau erythema because people are born in plateau areas. In fact, people who are not residents of plateau areas will also have similar plateau redness. The plateau red mentioned here refers to red blood streaks. Red blood streaks are caused by capillary dilation. The appearance of red blood streaks is abnormal whether in children or adults. What is the reason for red blood streaks on children?

People with red blood streaks have thinner skin stratum corneum, weak skin resistance, and are prone to losing water and nutrients. Generally, this type of skin is very sensitive, so you must be strict when choosing products and not choose some irritating products, which will make the skin more sensitive and further damage the stratum corneum. It is recommended to use skin care products specially designed for sensitive skin and that can repair the stratum corneum. Zhencao Cream is a good choice. It has plant ingredients and no additives. It can also provide the skin with sufficient moisture and nutrients and increase the thickness of the stratum corneum. You can try it. Combined with daily maintenance, the red blood streaks can gradually fade away.

The red blood streaks on a child's face are generally formed after the dilation of capillaries, that is, the red blood streaks are locally dilated capillaries. This may be caused by skin damage, which may be caused by both congenital and acquired factors. The red blood streaks on children's cheeks can be manifested in the following aspects:

1. Congenital factors

Hereditary facial red blood streaks are an autosomal dominant disease characterized by dilation of capillaries and venules with bleeding in the skin, mucous membranes and internal organs. It may be caused by congenital capillary contraction defects, capillary malformations and other factors. The specific problem of capillary dilation in children requires further research to determine.

2. Adverse external stimuli

Certain external factors can cause the skin's stratum corneum to thin, leading to capillary dilation. Because children's skin is very delicate, sometimes even slight stimulation, such as clothing, shower gel, etc., can cause the capillaries on the face to dilate and become congested. Especially for newborn babies, their skin is very tender and smooth, and is easily susceptible to any stimulation, so the above phenomenon is very likely to occur.

3. Drug stimulation

The use of corticosteroids can cause capillary dilation because these drugs can cause skin thinning and atrophy. Therefore, when a baby's capillaries dilate, you can consider whether it is caused by recent use of such drugs.

4. External force, improper squeezing

Children's faces may also develop red blood streaks if they are subjected to external force or improper compression. The most common phenomenon is that many people have deformed capillaries in the wings of their noses and nasal grooves. This is the result of improper compression of acne and pimples.

5. Mite irritation

Parasites such as mites enter the dermis through the hair follicles and can cause serious damage to the skin after a period of time, causing local "red face".
