Rosacea & Redness
ConsultationWhat is roseacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes, small bumps or pustules on the face. It tends to affect the central areas of the face, such as the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. While the exact cause of rosacea remains unknown, factors such as genetics, immune system dysfunction, and triggers like sun exposure, spicy foods, or stress can contribute to its development and flare-ups.
Types of Rosacea
-
Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: This type is characterized by persistent redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels. It may also cause a sensation of heat or stinging on the skin.
-
Papulopustular Rosacea: This type is characterized by persistent redness along with the presence of acne-like bumps and pustules. It may be accompanied by swelling and tenderness of the affected areas.
-
Phymatous Rosacea: This type is characterized by thickened skin and a bumpy texture, often affecting the nose (rhinophyma) but can also occur on other parts of the face. It may cause enlargement of the nose, chin, forehead, or ears.
-
Ocular Rosacea: This type affects the eyes and may cause redness, dryness, itching, burning, or a gritty sensation. It can also lead to blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and the feeling of a foreign body in the eye.
