What causes red blood streaks on the legs?

There are red blood streaks on the calves, which is related to the dilation of blood vessels in the calves. Especially for people with whiter legs, this situation may be more obvious.

Standing for a long time will lead to poor blood circulation and may also cause such symptoms.

What causes red blood streaks on the legs?

1. People who stand for a long time or have congenitally delicate and fair skin

It is more common in people who stand for long periods of time or who are born with delicate and fair skin. It may also be caused by obesity. You can temporarily not take any treatment and just observe. Once complications occur, targeted measures need to be taken, mainly targeting the venous blood circulation in the lower limbs. You should also pay attention to keeping warm. Personal habits are also very important. Drinking, smoking, and liking spicy food are also related to capillary dilation. Of course, occupation is more or less related as well. You should pay attention to standing for a long time and tap your legs from time to time to relax your legs.

2. Improper daily beauty care

When we do skin care in our daily life, we do not choose the skin care products correctly. Skin care products can irritate the skin, reduce the skin's immunity and cause red blood streaks. Others are caused by regional factors. The nature of the job requires running around, and the skin responds differently to different environments, which causes an increase in the number of cells and causes red blood streaks. It is also related to daily living habits. For those who like to smoke, drink, and eat spicy foods, the chance of causing red blood streaks is higher. Another factor is the influence of external environmental factors.

3. Capillary dilation

The red blood streaks on the legs are the same as those on the face. A large part of them are caused by capillary dilation. Visible redness of the skin appears on the legs, arms, stomach, chest and other parts of the body. There are red or purple-red spots, dots, lines or star-shaped damaged dilated capillaries. The blood vessels on the surface of the skin or mucous membranes where the red blood streaks appear are filamentous, star-shaped or spider-web-like. The red blood streaks are bright red and glass-like. They do not fade after pressure and develop slowly. There is no obvious enlargement after they occur. They are limited to certain parts. Some red blood streaks are more extensive and generally cannot disappear on their own, affecting the body's aesthetics.

The parts of the body where red blood streaks appear are generally prone to redness and heat. The color may darken during strenuous exercise, emotional excitement or drinking. The skin becomes redder than normal skin color, the borders are round, and the skin is thin and sensitive. The appearance of red blood streaks on the body is related to heredity, accumulated sun damage, ruptured capillaries due to pressure, damage to capillary tissue due to local surgery, acne, spicy food, exercise, emotions, hormonal drugs and some skin diseases.

The maintenance and care of skin with red blood streak problems requires special attention, especially for some long-term patients. Because of long-term symptoms, allergic skin is prone to problems. Thin cuticle and cuticle damage are the main causes of sensitivity and the main factors causing red blood streak symptoms. It is necessary to fully moisturize and reduce sensitivity to sensitive irritants.
