I live in norway and I am norwegian, tough my father is from puerto rico (spanish descent) and my mother is partly italian, but I have some norwegian blood in mi. The last yaers I have been living in argentina, and when I came back to the cold norwegian winter two years ago, I started to get red and warm ears, but it only appears during the cold winter months, esp when the indoor climate is very dry and warm, due to heavy heating. As soon as the weather starts to get warm, it will dissepear. I therfore think the climate has something to do with this. Something that is very common among the scandinavian people during the winter is the red cheeks the very many get during the winter months. Almost every norwegian kid thats playing outside during the winter when they come inside they got red and warm faces and ears, And the norwegians themself are not fare as fair skinned as the british and irish, so here its just the climate.
Just a question for all who experience this syndrome. How come you don't see caucasin people in hot climates getting this? Like people in the middle east or Vegas, etc. I think this syndrome mostly relates to people with northern european blood, (I myself am norweigan/danish/polish) who originate from cold climates with pinkish/pale skin. It may just be an evolutionary flaw for us. Also, I've noticed the skin of most elderly people is pale (along with the wrinkles.) So maybe it will go away once I turn 70. Only 42 years to go! Has anyone been to the Scandavian countries and observed the people? Do they all have a tendency towards pinkish facial features? Just look at the Irish, don't many of them have red hair? I know I may be generalizing here, but I think it's worth further investigation and scientific study. I may need to move to Norway to find a date. It really IS that frustrating, as most of us know. We need to create a support group or something where we can be ourselves w/o worrying about the redness. Anyone know of any chatrooms?
