Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, causing redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes even acne-like breakouts. It can significantly impact self-esteem and quality of life, but with the right approach, it can be managed effectively.

Understanding Rosacea

Rosacea is a complex condition that often manifests differently in each individual. While the exact cause is still unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and vascular factors. Common triggers for rosacea flare-ups include sun exposure, hot or spicy foods, alcohol, stress, and certain medications.

There are several subtypes of rosacea, each with its own set of symptoms:

Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: Characterised by facial redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels.
Papulopustular Rosacea: Presents with acne-like breakouts, redness, and swelling.
Phymatous Rosacea: Results in thickening of the skin, especially on the nose (rhinophyma).
Ocular Rosacea: Affects the eyes, causing redness, irritation, and sometimes vision problems.

We will discuss your symptoms, triggers, and any previous treatments you may have tried. Diagnostic tests may be performed too.
