Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, leading to persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, red bumps or pustules. It typically begins with intermittent redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead, but over time, the redness can become more constant and widespread. In some cases, rosacea can also cause thickening of the skin, particularly around the nose. Triggers for rosacea flare-ups include hot or cold weather, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, and sun exposure. While the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Although there’s no cure, treatments like topical medications, oral antibiotics, and lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
