Condition Rosacea
Rosacea
Rosacea is a common yet often misunderstood skin condition that causes persistent redness, visible capillaries, and sometimes acne-like bumps typically across the central face. Triggers such as heat, stress, and sun exposure can worsen symptoms, leading to ongoing discomfort and sensitivity.
It often develops gradually and can flare up periodically, making early diagnosis and proper management essential.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Rosacea
Rosacea may present differently from person to person, but the most common symptoms include:
Persistent facial redness, especially on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead
Flushing or blushing that lasts longer than normal
Visible broken capillaries (telangiectasia)
Acne-like bumps or pustules without blackheads
Burning, stinging, or sensitive skin
Thickened skin, most commonly on the nose (rhinophyma) in advanced cases
Eye irritation, dryness, or redness (ocular rosacea)
