Facial Redness & Haemangiomas
Facial redness can occur for many different reasons and may be due to conditions such as rosacea, acne, scarring, vascular reactivity, inflammation, or the presence of benign vascular growths such as haemangiomas and vascular birthmarks.
Redness may appear as flushing, visible capillaries, background redness, or raised red lesions, and can be influenced by genetics, sun exposure, skin type, hormonal changes, or underlying skin conditions.
Getting the right diagnosis is the first step in creating a treatment plan that will work for you.
