Common causes of redness on both sides of the nose

In traditional Chinese medicine, the color of the nose is connected to the function of the spleen and stomach. When we have indigestion, the color of the nose will also change. Common causes of redness on both sides of the nose include dermatitis, allergies, rosacea, and getting angry. If we do not pay attention to daily hygiene, our skin pores will be clogged with oil and toxins for a long time, and the capillaries will not flow smoothly. The nose has a large number of pores and rich capillaries. Therefore, after excluding disease factors, daily hygiene care is also very important.

Seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common cause of redness on the sides of the nose. Seborrheic dermatitis is prone to occur on the head, face, chest, armpits, etc., because these areas have abundant sebum secretion. Seborrheic dermatitis on the face mainly appears around the eyebrows, between the eyebrows, forehead, and nose. The symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis are generally itching, desquamation, and obvious erythema.

Solution: Try to use less greasy skin care products. It is best to choose products with low oil content and good moisturizing effect to keep your skin refreshed at all times. Pay attention to controlling the amount of fat in your diet. Don't have too much fat, otherwise it will aggravate the symptoms. The total dietary fat supply should be around 50 grams per day.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that occurs in the nose. It often occurs between the ages of 30 and 50, mostly in women. Rosacea is mainly caused by infection with mites, and 100% of rosacea patients can be found to have mite parasites. Rosacea usually grows on the tip and wings of the nose. In summer, the nose will become red and oily. In winter, the nose will peel and become painful.

Solution: You can choose clindamycin gel, benzoyl peroxide gel, fusidic acid cream, mupirocin ointment, etc. You can also choose metronidazole gel, tinidazole gel, low-concentration retinoic acid preparations, etc. These drugs can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, promote the regression of erythematous papules and pustules, and maintenance use can reduce recurrences.

Getting angry

Nowadays, many young people often stay up late and lack of sleep. They prefer heavy flavors in their diet and don’t like to eat vegetables and fruits, which makes them easily get angry. In addition, young people have excessive internal heat, and the upward flow of heat can cause redness on the sides of the nose and acne.

Solution: When the internal heat is severe, you can drink herbal tea frequently and take some Coptis chinensis tablets. Try to go to bed early at night and get enough sleep. Drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid eating too spicy food, and exercise appropriately when you have time.

allergy

Allergies are a common cause of skin redness. It may be caused by accidental contact with allergens, or the use of irritating and unsuitable skin care products, which causes skin sensitivity and thus redness on both sides of the nose.

Solution: Cleanse gently to protect sensitive skin. When washing your face, you should choose a soap with weak alkalinity, or use an amino acid cleanser instead of the usual soap-based cleanser to reduce irritation to the skin. If your skin is not particularly oily, you don’t need to use facial cleanser in the morning and can just rinse with warm water.
