Asthma Flushing

In an asthma attack, the breathing pathways constrict, making it difficult to exhale carbon dioxide. When you can't exhale an adequate amount of carbon dioxide, you can't inhale oxygen. The lack of oxygen causes the face to turn red. Again not a true acne flush, but it's not uncommon for acne suffers to also have asthma. Asthma flushing can result from a food allergy, air borne pollutants or toxins. Using an allergen air filter and changing it every one to two weeks can help reduce indoor pollens, toxins, fungi, and /or molds in the home. Air purifiers can also be helpful. Controlling your environment as much as possible can help to relieve some of the symptoms of asthma.

These are some of the primary types of flushing, and there are other types of acne-related flushing such as sun exposure flushing, drug medication flushing or drug/sun sensitivity flushing, laughter flushing, allergy/histamine flushing, etc. The goal is to decrease vascular dilation through vascular constriction which will minimize flushing of any type.

Acne prone skin is a disorder which can easily be treated. The blood vessels and related redness of the skin continue to grow with age. If the skin has been damaged by the use of harsh products in the past, the result often is a more severe skin reddening or flushing disorder called rosacea which accompanies the existing acne. Damaged skin is usually caused by retinoids or abrasive soaps used for the treatment of acne which continue to keep the skin irritated, excessive sun exposure, dehydration, stress, hot food/drinks, hot bath, weather, exercise, laser or photoderm treatment, etc. The more blood vessels one has near the surface of the skin, the more sensitive the skin becomes, and the more likely the skin will be to continue to flush frequently. Teenage acne is often outgrown as puberty-hormone levels balance out and as lifestyle changes improve. Hormonal changes and stress in later life may result in a menopausal or pregnancy redness/flushing and a combination of acne rosacea.
