Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like breakouts. It typically begins after the age of 30 and tends to affect individuals with fair skin, though it can occur in people of any skin type or ethnicity. While the exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, it’s believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and vascular factors.
The symptoms of rosacea can vary from person to person and may include:
- Facial Redness: Persistent redness, often resembling a blush or sunburn, is a common symptom of rosacea.
- Visible Blood Vessels: Small blood vessels (telangiectasia) may become visible on the skin’s surface, particularly on the cheeks, nose, and forehead.
- Papules and Pustules: These are small red bumps or pus-filled pimples that can resemble acne. However, unlike acne, these breakouts are not caused by clogged pores.
- Swelling: Some individuals with rosacea may experience facial swelling, particularly around the nose.
While there is no cure for rosacea, our clinic offers various treatment options to manage its symptoms and minimize flare-ups.
