Causes of red dots on the face
The subcutaneous layer consists of a huge number of tiny blood vessels. We know that blood flows through these vessels, which nourishes all our organs and parts of the body. The blood vessels are located very close to the outer layer of the skin, called the epidermis. Any activity that puts excess strain on the blood vessels under the skin of the face can harm them. Any internal damage appears on the outer layer of skin as red dots on the face.
Many people mistake these small red dots for a heat rash, however, they are completely different phenomena. With heat rash, small spots may appear on the back and chest, and they also look like boils or pimples. This way you can easily distinguish red dots on your face from heat rash.
When a person suffers from nausea and vomiting, the blood vessels in the face become severely damaged. Often, excessive vomiting causes blood vessels to rupture, which causes subcutaneous hemorrhages on the face and neck that look like red dots.
Frequent and severe coughing also creates pressure in the blood vessels on the face, which in turn causes damage to them and, consequently, a large number of red dots appear on the skin. In addition to vomiting and coughing, damaged capillaries can cause severe sobbing.
Nutritional Features
What foods should form the basis of your diet?
When a woman bursts blood vessels on her face while carrying a child or after childbirth, she needs to follow a certain diet. This diet involves eating foods that do not harm the cardiovascular system and strengthen the body as a whole.
Proper nutrition for rosacea consists of eating food that is high in vitamins.
The main products that should be included in your diet are the following:
- red paprika;
- carrot;
- buckwheat;
- parsley;
- asparagus.
The listed products are characterized by high concentrations of rutin. You should also include spinach as it contains large amounts of vitamin K, which improves vascular strength.
To get enough vitamin C into your body, you need to consume the following categories of foods:
- cabbage;
- citrus;
- onion;
- currants
The benefits of ascorbic acid.
Ascorbic acid normalizes blood circulation and causes blood vessels to become less fragile. You also need to consume sufficient amounts of calciferol, which is found in dairy products. We must not forget about Omega-3 fatty acids, the record holder of which is sea fish.
Attention! Proper nutrition can somewhat speed up the healing process.
Basic nutritional recommendations:
- The presented products are recommended to be consumed boiled, baked, stewed or fresh.
- It is required to strictly follow the drinking regime - to restore water balance, you need to consume at least 1.5 liters of purified water per day.
- It is necessary to completely stop consuming tonic drinks and carbonated drinks.
- Reduce consumption of excessively salty, hot and spicy foods.
- Completely avoid fried and smoked foods.
- Stop smoking and consuming alcohol-containing products.
By reviewing your own eating habits, you can significantly improve your condition and reduce the signs of rosacea.
What medications cause petechiae?
People who take anticoagulants such as heparin, aspirin, or warfarin, which interfere with blood clotting, may also experience facial petechiae. An increase in the number of platelets (small cells in the circulation that help blood clot) is another cause of petechiae. Other reasons for the appearance of red dots include blood infection, chemotherapy, blood cancer, etc.
People who sneeze frequently or undergo intense physical activity may also notice red dots on their face. However, in these cases, the dots disappear after a few days. To cope with the appearance of red dots, you can use moisturizing and skin care products, because basically this problem is temporary and does not require a visit to the doctor.
In general, if the cause of the red dots is not very serious, then they will probably disappear within a week. However, if this does not happen, then you need to get your blood tested and consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.
Broken capillaries on the face are not the worst thing a modern person can face. The main reason for the appearance of unsightly cobwebs on the face are capillaries located as close as possible to the surface of the skin. It is they, with a number of accompanying factors, that manifest themselves in the form of mesh or bruises on the skin.
Capillaries begin to burst due to the fact that their walls become thinner. Many factors lead to this. What to do? Of course, you can hide the flaw on the skin under a layer of cosmetics or go to specialized salons where they can help you cope with this problem. But in order to avoid problems with capillaries, it is worth finding out the main reasons that can provoke thinning of the walls of blood vessels.
Stages of the disease
Cuperosis is divided into 4 stages, which are characterized by specific symptoms such as itching, tingling or burning.
The first stage is characterized by “hot flashes” in certain areas of the skin for no apparent reason. Then the hyperemia (redness) decreases and completely disappears. The condition of the vessels is still normal and they are able to contract.
At the second stage, the disease manifests itself as a spider vein on the skin. This occurs due to the loss of elasticity of the capillaries, which are no longer able to contract, as a result, they become clear through the thinned skin. It is at this stage that women most often turn to a cosmetologist.
At the third stage, chronic circulatory disorders occur, which causes a deficiency of nutrients in the skin. Inflammatory reactions sometimes appear in damaged areas.
At the fourth stage, the skin of the face becomes dry and thin; areas of peeling appear on it. The red complexion gives way to a grayish pallor. Against this background, the capillary network already has a blue-purple tint.
Skin
The reasons for the appearance of cobwebs from capillaries may be hidden in heredity or in external influences.
- Sensitive skin. Blood vessels are located in close proximity to the surface of the skin, which is why it is exposed to various types of irritants.
- A sharp change in climate and weather. Capillaries may not withstand sudden changes, resulting in their rupture.
- Poor quality cosmetics.
- Improper skin care.
- Exposure to sunlight.
- Dry skin.
- Disease of internal organs (heart, lungs).
- Abuse of tobacco and alcohol products.
- Overweight.
- Pregnancy.
Based on this, a burst vessel is not a simple cosmetic defect, but also a kind of signal warning about a disorder in the body.
What to do if the blood vessels burst? This can occur during childbirth, in illness after coughing, diarrhea and vomiting. Broken blood vessels appear not only on the face, but also in the eyes, shoulders, legs and other parts of the body.
In beauty salons, such a defect can be removed using:
- electrocoagulation;
- laser therapy;
- photo deletion;
- cryodestruction;
- use of specialized cosmetics.
The second technique allows you to remove the mesh from the face using a laser beam. The beam, heating up to a high temperature, glues the walls of damaged capillaries. This technique is recognized as effective and safe. After it is performed, there are no scars or burns left on the surface of the skin.
The third technique allows you to remove the trace of damaged capillaries using a dense stream of light. This procedure, like laser therapy, is recognized as safe, however, several sessions may be required to achieve the desired effect.
What to do if your eyes are red after childbirth
Red eyes after childbirth - broken capillaries
Eyes reflect a person's soul. After all, looking at them, you can understand the mood of a close relative or even an unfamiliar passerby. No matter how good we try to look, carefully applying makeup, spending hours on hairstyle and choosing outfits, but if the white of the eye is pierced with a red mesh, everything is in vain.
After giving birth, unfortunately, the woman is not in the best physical shape. There is still a saggy, flabby tummy, there are often extra pounds, and bruises from lack of sleep are visible under the eyes. But avoiding red eyes is in the hands of every woman in labor.
Illiterate attempts and breathing techniques
It's no secret that the eye has a choroid. It includes a large number of thin vessels through which blood flows, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the eye. During labor, this capillary network may burst.
The reason for this is illiterate attempts and breathing techniques. When a woman in labor holds her breath at unnecessary moments, the pressure in each head vessel increases sharply. It provokes their breakups.
In addition to the red capillary network, bruises under the eyes may also appear after childbirth.
Increased physical activity
Increased physical activity during the expulsion of the fetus from the uterus leads to more active blood circulation. This also causes unpleasant consequences.
High blood pressure
Strong emotional experiences at this important moment provoke an increase in blood pressure to high levels. In this case, there is a possibility of a blood clot forming in the blood vessel, which will cause its damage.
Increased intracranial pressure
If you look at childbirth as hard physical work, then another reason emerges. Poor sports training of the expectant mother leads to the fact that during the passage of the child through the birth canal, she cannot cope with the load and tries too hard to cause contractions of the uterus, increasing intracranial pressure. The vessels cannot stand it and rupture.
Vitamins and nutrition
Due to a lack of a number of vitamins, blood vessels become fragile and burst. Therefore, it is important during pregnancy to regularly take vitamin and mineral complexes for pregnant women (as prescribed by a doctor) and eat well (See “Which vitamins for pregnant women to choose”).
Moderate physical activity
Moderate physical activity will help you avoid red eyes after childbirth. A sports mother will easily give birth to a baby, and her eyes will remain beautiful. The minimum stage of recovery can be daily walking for at least an hour.
Attending preparatory courses
The most important thing, of course, is proper preparation for childbirth, which allows you to avoid unnecessary pushing at the wrong time. It is ideal to attend specialized preparatory courses, where they will tell you in detail and show you how and when to breathe, how to push, and how to relax correctly during childbirth.
Right in the classroom, among other pregnant women, you will be able to try different methods, choose the ones that are most suitable for you, and consolidate skills that will be useful during labor. Such training courses are organized not only at antenatal clinics, but in specialized commercial centers.
Communication with friends who have given birth
If circumstances do not allow you to complete the courses, then it is recommended to communicate with experienced mothers and midwives, who will certainly give valuable recommendations. You can independently study detailed information on how to give birth correctly in books and thematic magazines. After this, you need to practice pushing and breathing at home so that in the maternity hospital you can confidently and correctly perform these actions.
Understand how to push correctly
The most important rule is the following: do not push on the head, this does not make the fate of the baby moving along the birth canal easier, push on the area where the child emerges. There is no need to contract the muscles as much as possible when there are no natural efforts. You still can't cope without them. Your energy will be wasted. Listen to your body and your midwife's advice.
What to do if the capillaries burst?
Absolutely nothing. Will have to wait. In this case, the proverb works: time heals. If, however, the red spots in the areas of the burst vessels of the eyeball do not decrease after a week, it is better to see an ophthalmologist.
No ointments or drops are usually used. The redness will finally go away in about two weeks. Cold compresses will speed up the healing process. They are applied three times a day for ten minutes.
Chamomile decoction is good for lotions.
And finally, I would like to say that there is no need to overexert yourself during the long-awaited meeting with the baby. If your eyes are still red, then don’t be afraid of natural changes in your body. Be prepared for them mentally and physically. A woman who has given birth is decorated with a happy smile.

Capillaries in the eye
The causes of ruptured eye capillaries may include:
- overstrain and eye fatigue;
- power loads;
- thermal effects;
- stress;
- insomnia;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- drying of the eye film;
- conjunctivitis;
- entry of a foreign body (sand, dust).
If removing the mark of a burst blood vessel from the face is not difficult, then what to do with redness in the eyes? If blood vessels in the eyes have burst, Nazivin can help. This medicine has a constricting effect on the capillaries, which helps relieve redness from the whites of the eyes. However, it is worth noting that the use of this tool gives only a visual effect.
In order to further prevent the appearance of burst blood vessels in the eyes, you need to contact an ophthalmologist and find out the reasons why the redness fades.
Skin care rules for rosacea
To eliminate bruises after childbirth, you need to provide proper skin care. It is important to cleanse the skin daily, moisturize it, and restore full water balance. Buy anti-rosacea cream only after first consulting with your doctor. Such products should include natural ingredients, for example, grape seed oil (record holder for vitamin E content). Special products protect the skin from aggressive environmental influences (temperature changes, UV radiation). Also, anti-rosacea creams should contain linoleic and ascorbic acid, element K.
You need to take care of your skin at night too. To do this, it is recommended to apply a serum with a calming effect to the damaged areas. With the help of a contrast shower you can strengthen the capillaries. It is recommended to dry damaged skin only with a soft towel.
The following cosmetic procedures should be avoided: • hard peeling; • cleansing the face with scrubs and products with acidic components; • tanning in a solarium; • steam baths; • mechanical facial cleansing; • rubbing with ice; • vacuum massage.
To treat and prevent spider veins, vitamin and mineral complexes are used as part of complex treatment. The decision to choose a drug is made by the doctor based on diagnosis.
Facial gymnastics and massage
To prevent and treat rosacea in the initial stages, lymphatic drainage is performed - this is a massage that improves local blood circulation and strengthens blood vessels. This procedure can be performed at home by applying some oil (for example, rose) to your fingertips and lightly tapping the skin for 5 minutes.
1. Slowly raise your head and simultaneously tense the muscles of your neck and face. 2. Place your palms on your cheeks, press them, and then move them up and down at a fast pace. This exercise should not be performed if there is rosacea on large areas of the skin. 3. You need to stretch your lips with a tube so that your cheeks tense, and freeze in this position for 20 minutes. 4. Move the air from cheek to cheek without opening your mouth.
This set of exercises must be performed daily.
