Erythema

Erythema is an abnormal redness of the skin caused by congestion of the capillaries and is one of the major signs that inflammation is present at a particular location of the skin.

This causes the capillaries to dilate (enlarge) which then results in the redness of the skin.

Erythema can be caused by various factors such as:

• infection
• sunburn
• electrical treatments or burns
• contact allergies
• burns
• systemic allergies
• toxicity
• exercise
• insect stings
• allergies
• bacterial infection
• viral infection
• fungal infection
• protozoa infection
• massage
• windburn etc.

Although erythema need not be a serious medical condition, it may be an underlying symptom of a medical condition. Should you be concerned regarding any unusual symptoms, please contact your medical practitioner.
