Understanding Rosacea

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps or pimples. It typically appears on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, and can also lead to eye irritation in some cases. Rosacea is often triggered by factors like sun exposure, hot drinks, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, and temperature changes. While the exact cause is unknown, it’s believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Rosacea is not contagious, and although there is no cure, symptoms can be managed with proper skincare, prescription treatments, and by avoiding personal triggers
