What are more effective treatments to treat redness on the forehead, chin and cheeks? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Facial redness is often due to a combination of facial sensitivity, irritation and/or ongoing skin inflammation.

To treat your facial redness, having a personal consultation with your doctor is required. Your doctor must first diagnose the underlying cause or causes of your facial redness after conducting a thorough history and physical examination.

Only when the cause and contributing factors have been identified, an effective treatment is prescribed. Effective treatments may include:

  • Gentle cleanser
  • Moisturizers
  • Topical medications to reduce inflammation
  • Oral medications to reduce skin inflammation
  • Vascular lasers. They may help if abnormal blood vessels are contributing to the redness

Hope this helps!
