Now, when we speak of flushing, I have a question, just for the record: is there any generally agreed on description of flushing? Would it be when your entire face goes red, or just the cheeks (or any other facial area affected by rosacea). Would it be intense redness or simply any degree of increased redness/pinkiness? And for how long? Thanks, Alena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you be red (or pink or whatever) but not hot, and/or not stinging, and still be considered flushed? Also, in reference to rosecea, is a " flare " the same as a " flush, " or does flaring refer to something different altogether? Thank you.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hi barefootjan Tohot Tohandle here. Just had to put my oar in on the flushing debate - as I have a real problem with this. I think there is a lot of confusion about flushing and blushing. Many term the two as the same - when they are not and I am afraid that many of these such people are " doctors " , so no wonder we are confused. To me a " blush " is caused by an emotional response to something say embarrassing. A blush doesn't last very long and goes as quick as it comes usually. A " flush " to me, usually takes longer to come and unfortunately longer to go (can last hours if the triggers are there!). A flush is caused by food, heat, or whatever your triggers are. I say all this because I had ESB (ETS by clamping) last August and I don't think I knew the difference between blushing and flushing, thought they were both the same and expected the ESB to cure it. NOW, I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. I would say that my blushing has been cured 75% but my real problem is, and has always been, FLUSHING! With me, flushing and blushing look the same in that my cheeks, neck and chest get really red and blotchy. I usually know when I have blushed, but sometimes I haven't known that I am flushed until I look in a mirror and see the ghastly red neck, chest etc. I would say that a flare to me, is related to whatever conditions you are suffering from. Acne, flushing, blushing, stinging, pain - if they suddenly get worse than usual - I would say that's a flare. Well, must dash, got lots of flushing and a few blushings to do! > >To: rosacea-support >Subject: Re: flushing (was Matija) >Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 20:56:28 -0000 > > > > > Now, when we speak of flushing, I have a question, just for the >record: is > > there any generally agreed on description of flushing?
