Nasal vasodilation is a condition in which the capillaries float on the surface of the skin, affecting the patient's aesthetics. Although capillary dilation does not affect health immediately, but if left for a long time, it will turn into many dangerous diseases.

1. What is nasal vasodilation?


The skin on the nose is often thin, less elastic and susceptible to irritation from the environment, so this is the skin area that is most often damaged on the face.
Nasal vasodilatation or nasal capillary dilation is not a congenital disease but an acquired pathology and has a fairly common occurrence rate. Nasal capillary dilation usually occurs on the tip of the nose and the sides of the nose. The telltale sign of this condition is the appearance of small red or purple-red blood vessels on the surface of the skin of the nose that can be seen with the naked eye.
Nasal capillary dilation has a certain effect on cosmetic problems, especially for women, the use of makeup can't cover these blood vessels. In addition, if this condition is left for a long time, there will be many potential risks such as capillary inflammation, capillary blockage, venous malformations.

2. Causes of nasal capillary dilation


Because the skin on the nose is very sensitive, any influences of the living environment as well as bumps and accidents in daily life can lead to dilated nasal blood vessels.
The change of weather from hot to cold or from cold to hot is also the cause of affecting blood vessels, especially blood vessels in the nose, causing dilated nasal capillaries.
