What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a common long-term skin condition that mainly affects the face. It usually causes persistent redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels, especially on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. Some people also develop acne-like bumps or skin sensitivity.
Common symptoms:
Redness and blushing
Red bumps and pimples
Burning or stinging sensation
Thickened skin on the nose
Flushing episodes
Dry, sensitive skin
Visible tiny blood vessels
Rosacea Cause
The cause of rosacea is poorly understood. Vascular changes, inappropriate activation of the immune system, UV radiation, microbial exposure, and disruption of the skin barrier have all been implicated as playing a role in the pathogenesis of this condition.
Common Rosacea Triggers:
Sun Exposure
Stress
Spicy Foods
