Occasionally, I have redness in my nose. Why?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the query and concern. On examining the attached picture, you seem to have rosacea. But you do not have the signs of rosacea. The most common cause is solar damage. It leads to vasomotor instability causing erythema on the face and it creates the tendency to flush easily. The other triggering factors that exacerbate rosacea should be identified and should be avoided. The common triggering factors are hot or cold temperatures, wind, hot drinks, caffeine, exercise, spicy foods, alcohol, emotions, topical products. These factors can irritate the skin and decreases the barrier. You need to avoid these triggering factors. For red areas, you can use Brimonidine gel (Glycerin with Methyl paraben) twice daily. As your skin is sensitive, I suggest you do a test patch for the advised medicine. Apply a small quantity over the postauricular area and leave it for 48 hours. If there is no itching or redness, then you can apply it to the face. You can use a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen like Sun cross soft gel with SPF (sun protection factor) of more than 50 daily over the face in the morning. It should be repeated once after four hours. Have a review if the problem persists.
