Free AssessmentWhat 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.
