Why does my face get red after running?

Your body is trying to get rid of excess heat.  It dilates the capilaries in your skin to allow an increased blood flow so that the blood cools faster.\n\nYou probably don't sweat enough, or it's very humid when this happens.

Flushing of Face/Neck\nRosacea can cause redness, similar to that of a blush or sunburn. The flushing occurs when increased amounts of blood flow through vessels at a fast rate and the vessels expand to accommodate this flow. The redness may become more noticeable and persistent as the disease progresses. \n\nDry Facial Skin\nSome people notice that their facial skin becomes increasingly dry. \n\nPimples\nThe pimples of rosacea, which often occur as the disease progresses, are different from those of acne because blackheads and whiteheads (known as comedones) rarely appear. Rather, people with rosacea have visible small blood vessels and their pimples—some containing pus—appear as small, red bumps. \n\nRed Lines\nSome with rosacea notice red lines, called telangiectasia (tell-an-jek-taze-yah), which appear when they flush. This is due to small blood vessels of the face becoming enlarged and showing through the skin. These red lines usually appear on the cheeks—especially when the overall redness diminishes. \n\nBumps on Nose\nNasal bumps, a condition called rhinophyma \n(rye-no-feye-muh), are an uncommon sign seen especially in untreated rosacea. Men are more likely to experience the small, knobby bumps on the nose, and as the number of bumps increases, the nose and cheeks may appear swollen. \n\nFacial Burning, Stinging or Itching \nA 2002 survey conducted by the National Rosacea Society indicated that some people who have rosacea suffer physical symptoms, such as facial burning, stinging or itching.

You have too much water in your body and when you are cooling down, it pools in your lungs. Don't drink before running. This should cure the problem. Wait until about 20 minutes after you get your breath to have a drink.

I don't exactly understand your question..... but from what I do understand it sounds like you need eat protien bars or shakes before you run. Also don't dehydrate youself, drink lots of water.

Depends on how bad the burn. I had a flash burn (near 2nd degree) that took several months to heal up. Then my face stayed sensitive for well over a year after that. So I would assume that if your burns were worse, that yeah, that could very well be red after a year. Hope you heal well and soon.

You may be pushing too hard. Do you eat before you run? That can be a factor as well

simple boss... eyes become red because the nerves in the eyes get strained. if u concentrate on a part of the body and strain it ... u can make it become red. look constantly at the same point. that strains ur eyes muscles and the blood pressure increses in the eyes. thus they become red.

It's on your facial T-zone- nose, mouth and chin.-What about your forehead`?\nPlus arms and back -these are all areas where sweat accumulates.\nCould be a heat rash.\nCould also be an acute Photosensitivity reaction(PLE)\nLast option could be a dermatomycosis.\nNone of them life-threatening,just uncomfortable for the sufferer.\nStay out of the sun.Use Calamine LOTION:\nSee your doctor.

My sister gets that way. It's broken capillaries that cause the red dots. The pressure  or force of vomiting can break the capillaries in the face.

Just red, with no other symptoms? That is bizarre (MD here). Gotta suspect something vascular as the primary cause, but can't tell much given that we know nothing of your broader history (immediate and past).\n\nGood luck. If any redness begins to spread upward towards the armpit, especially if there are streaks of red going up your arm, and particularly if you develop a fever, then get your behind to your doc or your local ER, OK?

Capillaries are involved in the body's release of excess heat. During exercise your body and blood temperature rises. To help release this excess heat, the blood delivers the heat to the capillaries which then rapidly release it to the tissue. The result is that your skin takes on a flushed, red appearance. If you hold your hand, for example, under hot water, your hand will quickly turn red for the same reason. Your arm, however, is not likely to change color because it is not actually feeling an increase in temperature.\n\nSo, when your face gets red exercising, it means it is recieving lots of healthy blood flow, bringing nutrients to your skin and carrying away toxins.  I have no idea if these work, but I've heard taking pepcid AC and using asthma inhalers might help.  Talk to a dermatologist or doctor if you want to try to alleviate it.

the story goes that running increases your heart rate thereby increasing blood flow throught the body to remove or move lactic acid through the body to reduce soreness. whether or not this is true i'm not sure. but do a search on wikipedia there is a ton of info and external links that can answer this

I get them A LOT, I think it's to do with my poor diet (fizzy drinks, no fruit or veg, too much salt).  They get worse when I'm run down as well.  Haven't managed to find anything that helps, just have to grin and bear it.  Oh yes, going down on my wife doesn't help, either!

Swelling is caused by increased blood flow to the affected area.  The redness and itching is caused by certain cells in the area releasing "histamine" proteins to eliminate the foreign substance in your body.  \n\nA side effect of these histamines is slight damage to the surrounding tissue, which we feel as an itch -- the itch response is related to the pain response, in that it comes from stimulation of the same sensory structures.\n\nThis is a kind of allergic reaction that affects some people more than others.  It's true the mosquito does inject an anti-coagulant into your body so that your blood won't clot as it's feeding, and your body reacts to this by releasing histamines.  But I figured you wanted to know how itching worked, fundamentally.

There are a couple of possiblities: You might be holding your jaw tight, you might be clenching your teeth, or your might have inhaled a lot of pollen and have swollen sinuses, all of which can make your teeth hurt.\n\nSome people clench their fists when they run, and end up with sore fingers!  It's a waste of energy, though, just like clenching your teeth.\n\nTry warming up with a 5-minute walk.  While you walk, clench and unclench your fists, your jaw, your biceps, your glutes, etc.  As you run, try to notice where you're holding tension and make an effort to release it.\n\nIf you really don't think tension is the problem, try a decongestant like sudafed.  That will relieve the sinus pressure that may be making your teeth hurt.\n\nHappy running!
