rosacea & redness
Rosacea & Redness is a chronic skin condition primarily affecting the face, characterized by persistent on the central part of the face (nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin), visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like breakouts. In more severe cases, the skin may also feel sensitive, burning, and swollen. This condition tends to develop gradually and can worsen over time if not managed properly.
Many individuals with rosacea feel self-conscious due to its visible and chronic nature. The unpredictable flare-ups can also add to the distress which may have an effect on one’s self-esteem.
The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Common triggers include sun exposure, stress, hot or spicy foods, alcohol, hot beverages, and extreme temperatures. Certain skincare products and medications can also escalate the condition. Rosacea is more commonly seen in fair-skinned individuals and tends to occur more frequently in women, although men may also experience severe symptoms.

Treatment
While it is a common skin condition, there is no cure for rosacea. Its symptoms can be effectively managed by avoiding its triggers and with a combination of treatments. During flare-ups, topical treatments such as metronidazole or azelaic acid can help reduce redness and inflammation of the skin. Oral antibiotics are also prescribed to control inflammation and breakouts.
Laser and light-based therapies, such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), can also reduce visible blood vessels and persistent redness. Additionally, lifestyle adjustments, such as avoiding known triggers, wearing sunscreen daily, and using gentle skincare products, are crucial for managing rosacea.
