What Is Rosacea ?

Rosacea is a common skin condition that primarily affects the face. It is characterized by redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels. People with rosacea may also experience bumps and pimples, as well as a burning or stinging sensation. While the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Triggers for flare-ups can include exposure to sunlight, certain foods and beverages, stress, and temperature changes.

It is important for individuals with rosacea to consult with a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

Causes of Rosacea

The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but it is thought to be caused by a combination of factors, including:

  • Genetics: Rosacea can run in families.

  • Vasodilation: The blood vessels in the skin of people with rosacea are more sensitive to triggers, such as heat, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress. This can cause the blood vessels to dilate, leading to redness and flushing.

  • Inflammation: Rosacea is characterized by inflammation of the skin. This inflammation can be caused by triggers, as well as by an overactive immune system.
