Hyperaemia

Abnormal blood accumulation in a localized part of the body.


Excess blood in any part of the body.


Congestion or presence of an excessive amount of blood in a body part.


Hyperaemia refers to an overabundance of blood in a specific part of the body. This can happen if the blood’s exit flow from a certain area gets blocked. More commonly, it results from an inflammatory response where blood flow to a particular area increases, such as around a wound or an insect bite. The skin over the impacted area might feel warm and appear red.
