When blood pressure rises, blood and oxygen flow to the skin is reduced, making blood vessels vulnerable, weakening the skin's ability to regenerate. As a result, the skin becomes dry, dull, wrinkled and slow to heal wounds.
In addition, many people with uncontrolled high blood pressure may experience redness (red skin) due to dilated blood vessels or subcutaneous bleeding with small red and purple spots. In severe cases, skin thinning, weak skin and vulnerability are also common
Therefore, controlling high blood pressure is very important to treat skin problems. In addition, topical or laser therapies can help relieve symptoms, but patients need to be monitored periodically by a dermatologist, especially if they are taking low-pressure medication.
At the same time, to prevent skin problems related to high blood pressure, you need to change your lifestyle.
Manage stress: Spending time on activities that help relax the mind such as meditation, deep breathing or mindfulness will help stabilize blood pressure and improve skin health.
Maintain exercise: Regular exercise not only helps control blood pressure but also promotes blood circulation, bringing healthy and rosy skin.
Reasonable diet: Limit salt, increase green vegetables, fruits and whole grains to help reduce the negative effects of high blood pressure on the skin.
Avoid bad habits: Don't smoke and limit alcohol, these are important factors that help protect both cardiovascular and skin health.
Weight control: Maintaining a reasonable weight with the right diet and exercise helps reduce the burden on the cardiovascular system, while supporting the maintenance of firm, healthy skin.
