About Rosacea
What is it?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It tends to develop gradually and may worsen over time if left untreated.
What causes it?
The exact causes of rosacea are unknown, although genetics, problem blood vessels, and irregular immune system function are thought to contribute to the skin condition. There are, however, known common triggers that should be avoided, such as sun exposure, alcohol, spicy foods, and hot liquids.
