Facial flushing occurs because the blood vessels in the skin dilate, which is considered a symptom, rather than one skin disease. It may appear or aggravate by different skin conditions, such as acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis or facial hormone dependence dermatitis. Telangiectasis are the typical clinical feature, and in some severe cases, patients feel tingling, itching and burning. The most common related factor with facial flushing is damage to the skin barrier. Here we presented a series of cases with flushing, however, the inducers were diverse. All of the cases reported here recovered significantly. In the treatment, Cicalfate + was prescribed for all these patients. Avene Cicalfate + was chosen because of its rich protein complex and Copper Zinc which significantly improve the skin barrier function. We'd like to share the clinical experience in the management of flushing, which seriously affects patients' life quality.
