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 this condition 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.
Common treatments
While there is no cure for this condition, the skin experts at our dermatology practice can help you improve or even eliminate your rosacea symptoms. Treatments range from topical to oral medications.
Understanding Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that often presents as facial redness, visible blood vessels, and acne-like bumps, most commonly affecting the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. Flare-ups can be triggered by sun exposure, stress, heat, spicy foods, or alcohol, and the condition can vary in severity from mild flushing to persistent redness and swelling. While it is not harmful, its impact on appearance can be frustrating and may lower self-confidence. Without proper treatment, rosacea symptoms can worsen over time, making early diagnosis and management essential.
