Part of my skin is red. What could be causing it?

Yes, it could be a skin infection, called cellulitis. Apart from the redness, does it feel warmer to touch than the normal areas of your skin, and do you have a temperature?

there could be some infection there. Just put a clean dry dressing on every day. do not use neopsorin on it. This just keeps the area wet. Give it a couple more days. What you could do is take a pen and mark the area of redness on your arm and if the redness goes out of this area you know it is getting bigger and should probably get on an antibiotic. Sometimes the trauma to the area can cause it to be red. This is not always a sign of infection. If you start to notice a large amount of puss like drainage and redness, then get to a dr.

It could be the deoderant. If you are female (can't quite tell from your name) then it might also be due to shaving armpits. I found the Dove deo/antiperspirant really helped eliminate the ugly red look from my armpits. Shave with a new, clean razor every time.

While it's true that you may have an allergy to a new bath product or generally dry skin, there is something else to consider... Polycythemia Vera is a blood disorder that presents as itching following a warm bath or shower. It is caused by overgrowth of red blood cells, which causes the blood to be "too thick." High blood pressure and a ruddy (reddish) complexion are also signs of this disorder. I would recommend that you discuss your concerns with your doctor. Here's a link for more info on Polycythemia Vera: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000589.htm

could be psoriasis (pronounced: sore eye asses)\n\n"Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition. There are five types, each with unique signs and symptoms. Between 10% and 30% of people who develop psoriasis get a related form of arthritis called “psoriatic arthritis,” which causes inflammation of the joints."\n\na bit more info\n\n"  Plaque psoriasis is the most common type of psoriasis. About 80% of people who develop psoriasis have plaque psoriasis, which appears as patches of raised, reddish skin covered by silvery-white scale. These patches, or plaques, frequently form on the elbows, knees, lower back,\nand scalp. However, the plaques can occur anywhere on the body.\n\nThe other types are guttate psoriasis (small, red spots on the skin),\npustular psoriasis (white pustules surrounded by red skin), inverse psoriasis (smooth, red lesions form in skin folds), and erythrodermic psoriasis (widespread redness, severe itching, and pain)"\n\ngood luck.. I hope this will help you get the proper help you need.  since you may not be able to cure it...but may be able to treat the symptoms and alleviate your discomfort.

You might have Erythromelagia, that's what I have. Ask your doctor!

The same thing happens to me. I read about it in a magazine, but it was a while ago. I believe it has something to do with the pigment in your skin. I think it is most common in those with lighter skin . Everytime I run or workout really hard, my face gets very red. It used to bother me but it doesn't anymore. It's just a hang-up you will eventually get over. Try to focus on what you are doing, how you are enjoying yourself, etc and I am sure it won't bother you as much. =)

perhaps u have a fair complexion or your blood vessels are very close to the surface of your skin, more so than other people's.\nthere's not too much u can do about it though, unless u wanna cake on the powder, but i dont recomment that.\nit could also be hormonal depending on your age, so this may go away soon enough.\nalso try drinking more water and eating more fruit and veggies, u could just not be getting enough vitamins.\ni doubt u have any skin disorder but u can see a dermotologist anyway.\ngood luck and dont worry about it, i think its cute! i dont blush too easily and i wish i did, i know it sounds funny to wish that but i just think its really cute, like dimples. :)

Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness, pimples, and red lines on the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. A rash over the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin often occurs. People sometimes call it "adult acne" because it can cause pimple-like outbreaks. Rosacea can also cause burning and soreness in the eyes and eyelids. The exact cause of rosacea is unknown. One theory is that some people have blood vessels that are easily irritated. Another possible cause is tiny mites that normally live on our skin. People with rosacea have more of these mites on their faces than those who don't have the disease. You may control rosacea with medication and by avoiding triggers that lead to flare-ups. Left untreated, rosacea can get worse. Large, disfiguring bumps on the nose and face and serious eye problems are signs of severe rosacea. Fair-skinned people between the ages of 30 and 60 are most likely to develop rosacea. Women are more likely to have rosacea, but men usually have more severe symptoms.

maybe your skin is red and irritated because of the wetness. the wetness is normal , but change your underware more often , the wetness rubbs against your skin and irritates it . i watched the show talk sex with sue jonanson and a woman called an asked what she could do because she was wet down there and it interferred with her sex life , because if the wetness and she said you can get a pill for it , but she said the pill has consequences. She sais it was normal , theres nothing else she could say , but i think you should go to the doctor just to see whats wrong first !! \n\n* hope you get better
