Possible Causes
Generally, Face flushed can be related to:
- Rosacea
A skin condition that often involves flushing. The exact cause is unclear, but genetics, immune system reactions, and exposure to sunlight seem to be involved.
- Cushing's Syndrome
This condition is caused by excessive amounts of a hormone called cortisol. It may be caused by the consumption of some steroid medications or the body producing too much cortisol because of a tumor. It can present with a fatty hump between the shoulders, a rounded face, and pink or purple stretch marks on the skin. Cushing syndrome also can cause high blood pressure bone loss or diabetes.
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
An autoimmune disease caused by the body's immune system attacking organs and cells. The exact cause is unclear, but risk factors include being female, childbearing age, and heredity. SLE may involve nearly every organ system in the body with a wide range of potential symptoms that often wax and wane over time.
- Watery Diarrhea, Hypokalemia, and Achlorhydria (WDHA) Syndrome
- Peri-/Post-Menopausal Symptoms
- Hand Eczema
- Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
