What's going on with the bloodshot on my child's face?

When spring and summer meet, parents always find that some red blood vessels appear on their children's faces inexplicably. Not only do they look ugly, but they also feel a little rough to the touch. However, some parents may not notice any problems with their children’s diet. What exactly causes the red blood streaks in their children? Today I will summarize the reasons for you.

Red blood streaks are mainly a facial phenomenon caused by the dilation of facial capillaries or the superficial location of some capillaries. The skin is thin and sensitive, and the face becomes redder when it is too cold, too hot, or emotionally excited. The causes of red blood streaks can be roughly divided into two types: genetic and induced. The genetic type is mostly familial. The most common type is the induced type, and the main causes are as follows:

1. Long-term local use of corticosteroids can cause capillary dilation, leading to thinning and atrophy of the skin;

2. The skin itself is sensitive to external stimuli, which causes the blood vessels to tighten and loosen, presenting repeated congestion, causing the blood vessels to dilate tortuously and form red blood streaks.

3. At the same time, it needs to be emphasized that red blood streaks are directly related to the body's blood circulation system. Once wind, sun, high temperature stimulation, etc. damage the facial meridians, it is easy to cause blood vessel dilation and become ill; or due to various reasons, blood stasis in the body blocks the meridians, resulting in poor blood circulation, blood stasis blocks the skin, causing blood vessels to dilate; poor blood circulation makes it difficult for toxins in the body to be excreted, which can also form red blood streaks.

4. Children's skin is very delicate. If they are frequently exposed to wind and sand, or their skin is very dry, red blood streaks may easily occur.

This is why red blood streaks appear on children’s faces. Therefore, when the season is drier or the wind is stronger, you must pay attention to using some moisturizing skin care products for your children. This will help prevent the appearance of red blood streaks. It is also best to have your children wear masks when going out!
