Guide to getting rid of overly red skin failo:
LOCALISED vasoconstriction with:
- Brimonidine gel
- Oxymetazoline cream
- Hydrocortisone (also anti inflammatory and suppresses local immune responses, Onset is fast) ONLY USE SHORT TERM
Approaches to target core inflammation:
- Isotretinoin
- Tretinoin
-doxycycline (Antibiotic - low dose gives anti inflammatory effects)
- Hormone control ( test, E2 ETC )
Preventative Approaches
- propranolol (Prevents flushing)
- Clonidine ( reduces flushing triggered by heat/emotion )
Common causes (aside from obvious ones like heat) :
- Isotretinoin / tretinoin dryness + irritation
- Acne (active inflammatory)
- Hyper-pigmented erythema after inflammation
- Naturally reactive vessels
- Fair/sensitive skin (Fitzpatrick I–II)
- Exogenous Hormones / unstable hormone profile (Roiding)
