Reddened skin on the body after sports
During and after sports, reddening of the skin in the area of the body is more frequent. Blood pressure rises during sport and leads to a dilation of the blood vessels, including the skin. This leads to an increased flow of blood into the skin, which then causes reddening of the skin. Furthermore, the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline also causes a dilation of the vessels and reddening of the skin. Skin redness of the skin caused by sports is always reduced as soon as the sport is over and the body has started the recovery phase.
Red stains all over the body due to alcohol
Alcohol also occasionally leads to skin redness, sometimes all over the body. The reason is on the one hand a widening of the blood vessels of the skin, which is caused by alcohol, and on the other hand a possible increase in blood pressure due to alcohol. Both factors lead to an increase in the blood inflow into the skin, which in turn leads to reddening of the skin on parts of the body.
The redness usually subsides once the alcohol has been detoxified by the body. Furthermore, the intensity of the redness also depends on the amount of alcohol drunk. High-proof alcohol is more likely to cause redness than low-proof alcohol.
Red spots due to liver disease
The liver is an organ of metabolism and detoxification. It ensures that toxins that enter the body are quickly rendered harmless and eliminated. To ensure this, many blood vessels are passed through the liver.
If, for example, excessive alcohol consumption leads to cirrhosis of the liver, the blood in the liver can no longer be filtered as usual, resulting in a backlog. This backlog of blood causes pathological dilation of the preceding blood vessels. These can be located deep in the body or on the surface of the skin.
If skin veins dilate due to the backwater, a higher amount of blood remains in the vessels. This leads to a reddening of the skin. Reddening of the skin caused by liver diseases usually occurs in typical skin areas.
Small veins, which protrude and cause the skin to redden, occur mainly in the area of the face and the abdomen. As a rule, the redness of the skin caused by liver disease does not recede unless the cause of the liver disease is eliminated. Frequently, heavy alcoholics or patients with severe hepatitis have backflow problems of the blood with resulting redness of the skin on the face and abdomen.
