Redness next to the nose

Although skin diseases are less likely to occur around the nose, when they do occur, they are often very distressing. In particular, the incidence rate of redness on both sides of the nose is relatively high. Because the nose is located at the most important part of the human face, when the area around the nose is red, people can observe it at the first time. At this time, you should understand the cause of the redness around the nose and take appropriate measures.

What causes redness on both sides of the nose?

1. Rosacea

Rosacea, also known as rosacea, rosacea and red nose, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that occurs in the nose and mostly occurs in middle-aged people. It usually manifests as redness of the skin on the outside of the nose, but is most noticeable at the tip of the nose. This is the result of significant dilation of the blood vessels, and sometimes the dilated small blood vessels can be seen through the skin in a tree-like shape. It is a common skin disease, mainly caused by mite infection. 100% of rosacea patients can be found to have mite parasites.

Rosacea usually grows on the tip and wings of the nose. In hot weather, the nose will turn red and oily. In winter, the nose will peel and become painful. The initial symptoms are redness, oiliness and brightness of the nose, which is often not easy to notice. Over time, the pores on the nose become larger and red papules and pustules appear. In severe cases, the tip of the nose becomes thicker and larger, and the epidermis becomes like orange peel, uneven, and ugly.

Due to the vigorous secretion of local sebaceous glands, the nose appears red and shiny. As the disease progresses, the skin may thicken and even develop rashes or small pustules.

2. Seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common cause of redness on the sides of the nose.

Seborrheic dermatitis is prone to occur in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the scalp, sides of the nose, eyebrows, eyelids, behind the ears, and the center of the chest. Sometimes rashes may also appear in the armpits and genitals.

The rash is characterized by redness of the skin and the appearance of yellow scales, sometimes thicker yellow-brown crusts and a tendency to moisture, and is not necessarily accompanied by itching. The disease usually occurs in infancy and middle-aged people between 30 and 60 years old.

3. Getting angry

Young people have intense internal heat, which can cause redness on both sides of the nose and acne.

4. Allergies

Allergies are a common cause of skin redness.

5. Blow your nose

Some people like to blow their nose very hard, but this may cause the sides of the nose to be squeezed and become red.

What to do if the sides of the nose are red

1. You can wash the area with warm water. Mix equal amounts of fresh cucumber juice and white vinegar, wash your face with hot water first and then apply it on your face, three times a day. Wash it off with warm water after 10 minutes. It can be cured after half a month of continuous use.

2. Pay attention to protecting your skin at ordinary times. If you go to the bathhouse to take a bath or go to the barber shop to get a haircut, if the public towels are not disinfected properly, it will cause infection by mites.
