Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Every morning now when I get out of the shower and dry my hair with a washclothe, I get this stuff that looks like a light flush on my cheeks. It happens absolutely every day now when I start wiping my hair on the sides of my face near my cheeks. I thought it might be an allergy to my laundry detergent, but I started using a different one and had a similar problem. I'm just wondering.. it doesnt ever feel like a flush at all... no feeling of warmth, burning, blood flowing or anything... Its just like my skin gets a little red (even though nothing is actually touching it). I am having this light redness happen more and more lately to different things.. I have like a light redness/pinkness on my face.. sometimes not just on my cheeks, but on my nose, upper lip, chin etc.. It doesn't feel anything like the cea I am used to, and am wondering what to attribute it to. (Its not the worst thing in the world to have, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of it) Is this some type of allergy? Or maybe this is something that is associated with Photoderm treatments? (although it even seems to be happening a bit on my upper lip, which was not treated at my last appointment) or maybe something associated with a yeast overgrowth from too many antibiotics? (if that is indeed my problem) Or perhaps this is a manifestation of demodex mites? (which dont cause cea, but appear more often on people who have cea... and can bring with them inflammaton, papules, pustules, diffuse redness) It seems like I might have invited them in with all the oily noritate-type creams I have put on my face for the past few years.. Anyway, the possibilities are endless i'm sure, and basically I have no idea what this is and was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem or an explanation.
