What it is
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by persistent redness and visible blood vessels on the face. It often presents with symptoms such as facial flushing, bumps, and pimples that resemble acne. Over time, rosacea can lead to thickening of the skin, particularly around the nose, and may cause eye irritation. The exact cause is unknown, but factors like genetics, environmental triggers, and certain lifestyle habits can contribute to its development.
Causes
- Genetic Factors: Rosacea often runs in families, indicating a genetic predisposition.
- Sun Exposure: UV rays can damage blood vessels and worsen rosacea symptoms.
- Environmental Triggers: Extreme temperatures, wind, and humidity can aggravate rosacea.
- Diet and Lifestyle: Spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, and stress can trigger flare-ups.
- Medical Conditions: Certain health conditions and medications can exacerbate rosacea.
Signs and Symptoms
- Facial Redness: Persistent redness, usually in the central part of the face.
- Visible Blood Vessels: Small, dilated blood vessels that are visible on the skin.
- Thickened Skin: Particularly around the nose, leading to a more swollen appearance.
- Burning or Stinging Sensation: Sensitivity or discomfort in the affected areas.
- Red Bumps: Small red bumps or pustules that can resemble acne.
- Eye Irritation: Watery or irritated eyes in some cases.
Care for your skin
- Gentle Skincare: Use mild, non-irritating skincare products.
- Sun Protection: Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and wear protective clothing.
- Avoid Triggers: Identify and avoid personal triggers such as certain foods or weather conditions.
- Stress Management:Â Managing stress through relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing, can help reduce the effects of stress on the skin.
- Regular Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated.
