What to do if capillaries are congested

Capillary congestion is very common in daily life. It usually manifests as redness of the face and the appearance of dilated capillaries visible to the naked eye, so it is also called red blood streaks. Such patients should avoid trauma, eat more foods rich in vitamins, check their platelet count regularly, and seek medical treatment in a timely manner to recover their health as soon as possible.

1. Causes of capillary dilation

There are many causes of telangiectasia. Telangiectasia refers to the persistent dilation of small blood vessels. The dilated blood vessels are mostly small veins or arterioles. Red thread-like, reticular or star-shaped lesions appear on the skin and fade when pressed. They are usually found on both sides of the nose of normal people. Let's take a look at the causes of telangiectasia.

1: Physical stimulation.

For example, the stimulation of temperature changes causes the tolerance of capillaries to exceed the normal range, causing the capillaries to dilate and rupture. Excessive sun exposure can also cause chronic photodermatitis, dry skin, etc.

2: Climate and environmental factors.

Long-term living in a relatively harsh living environment, such as the thin air in the plateau and skin hypoxia, leads to an increase in the number of red blood cells and compensatory vascular dilation. Over time, the vascular contraction function is impaired, causing permanent capillary dilation. Sailors, cooks, farmers and athletes who are exposed to wind, cold and heat for a long time may also develop capillary dilation.

3: Hormone-dependent capillary dilation.

It is often a sequelae of inappropriate treatment, such as the abuse of topical medications on the face (such as Fuqingsong, Piyanping, and Pikangshuang).

4. Abuse of cosmetics or long-term "monthly skin care" and improper skin replacement cause sequelae.

The acidic ingredients in skin peel products seriously damage the protective function of the skin's stratum corneum and the elasticity of capillaries, causing the capillaries to dilate or rupture.

(II) What to do if capillary congestion occurs

Capillary congestion is caused by increased capillary fragility. Try to avoid trauma and eat more foods rich in vitamin C. Your condition is like allergic purpura, which may be related to food allergies. In addition, a routine blood test can be done to check whether there is thrombocytopenia, and a capillary fragility test can also be performed to see whether the capillaries are more fragile. Thrombocytopenia was excluded.
