We investigated whether flare crossed the mid‐line in various positions in humans using laser Doppler flowmetry to confirm visual observations. On the back and forehead, flare crossed the mid‐line. However, on the posterior part of the neck, flare did not cross the mid‐line, an observation that may be related to the elongated shape of flare in this region.
