What happens during the disease - flushing
Flushing is a condition that is characterized by redness and warmth of the skin, usually on the face, neck, and upper chest. it is caused by the dilation of the blood vessels in the skin, which leads to increased blood flow and warmth. this dilation is often triggered by an emotional response, such as embarrassment, fear, or stress, as well as by certain medications, foods, or alcohol. in some cases, flushing can be caused by an underlying medical condition, such as an allergy, autoimmune disorder, or hormonal imbalance.
