What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and, in some cases, acne-like breakouts. It often appears on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, and can worsen over time if left untreated. While the exact cause is unknown, triggers such as sun exposure, heat, stress, spicy foods, and alcohol can exacerbate symptoms. Rosacea is more common in fair-skinned individuals but can affect all skin types.
Types of Rosacea
There are four main subtypes of rosacea, each presenting with different symptoms:
Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (ETR)
Characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels (telangiectasia), and skin sensitivity.
Pasulopapular Rosacea
Also known as acne rosacea, this type causes red bumps and pus-filled pustules that resemble acne.
Phymatous Rosacea
Leads to thickened, bumpy skin, often affecting the nose (rhinophyma), making it appear swollen or enlarged
Ocular Rosacea
Affects the eyes, causing redness, dryness, irritation, and swollen eyelids.
