Inflammation without pain?

Is it possible for your skin to be inflammed but NOT experience any
pain/itchiness/heat, etc?

I’m only asking because whereas I have the characterstic facial
redness that accompanies sebderm, I don’t experience any sort of
itchiness (flaking I do have though). Additionally, I have from time
to time thought that I could have rosacea but I don’t have the
symptomatic acne pustules nor is my skin painful or hot to the
touch…the redness is just sort of there, not subsiding but not
escalating in intensity either.

One derm I saw said that some people just have naturally red faces…I
know what she was talking: with those people the redness is much more
evenly diffused across their face and doesn’t really look unnatural.
However my redness is localized to my T-zone so I don’t think what she

said really applies to me.

Some thought from any of the other group members would be helpful.

    Hi E,

    I used to have ‘red’ cheeks then…It doesn’t cause
    anything such as itchiness, plan etc. PPle use to say
    I have natural nice red cheek(hehee), but not now!!
    :~~~( I not sure what is the real cause that I have
    SD now? Maybe it is due to the really cold air cond.
    in the office? or maybe due to some products which I
    have apply that cause my face to turn dry(It used to
    be very oily). Anyway, I am not able to find the prime
    cause but what I can do is prevent it from coming
    back. My face seem to be getting better now, I used
    those liquid foundation instead of Powder since Powder
    will cause my face to turn drier. It seem to improve
    now.

    I hope this help…

    Regards,

    Moon,

    I read somewhere that red cheeks could be roscea. I’m not sure if
    that’s spelled right. Do you know if that’s what it is?
