Rosacea

If untreated, Rosacea can progress to persistent redness and tiny blood vessels in the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead can become more prominent. Patients with pimples, especially older men, may then develop Rhinophyma, which is severe enlargement of the nose.

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a common, yet uncomfortable skin condition that affects thousands of people in the UK. The most common symptoms are redness, flushing and burning of the skin across the cheeks, nose and chin. You may also notice blood vessels becoming more visible in those areas. Although the condition does not affect the physical health, it can often make sufferers extremely self-conscious.

Do I need to treat Rosacea?

Whilst there is no cure for rosacea, you may be able to control it with gentle skin care and avoiding things that cause flare-ups.

Rosacea can often progress to cause persistent redness and tiny blood vessels in the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Patients with pimples, especially older men, may then develop Rhinophyma, which is a severe enlargement of the nose.

What causes Rosacea?

The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, although a number of possible factors have been suggested. These include abnormalities in the blood vessels of the face.

Often there are triggers that can cause a flare-up of rosacea which will differ from person to person but may include;

• Stress
• Exposure to sunlight
• Exercise
• Hot Drinks
• Spicy Foods
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
