reddness is "erythema"
Hey guys, I have recently been researching and talking to a plastic surgeon about the redness associated with skin conditions such as KP. The popular consensus seems to be that we can get rid of the bumps a lot easier than the redness. I think the biggest reason why that is is because most dermatologists prescribe anti-inflammatory creams, which will help to an extent, but the surgeon I was talking to said that most of the redness is what is called erythema. Erythema is the dilation of superficial capillaries, which can result from certain skin conditions ( kp). Check out www.erythema.com, you guys will see what I’m talking about. After checking this site out, it all made a whole lot of sense.
