LEARN MORE ABOUT ROSACEA
WHAT IS ROSACEA?
Rosacea is a rash that affects the central face. It is common in between the ages of 30-60 and mostly affects people with fair skin. It is a chronic condition that is characterised by redness, flushing, dilated blood vessels, small red bumps and in severe cases pus-filled spots. Rosacea may also affect the eyes and nose. It is sometimes confused with acne, however, these are two different skin conditions.
It is unknown what exactly causes rosacea but multiple factors are thought to be involved. Known contributors are skin damage due to repeated ultraviolet (UV) light exposure, the skin’s natural immune response, alcohol, spicy food and stress.
HOW IS ROSACEA DIAGNOSED?
A dermatologist can usually diagnose rosacea solely by appearance without the need for tests. If you think you have Rosacea, the symptoms are typically easy to recognise. However, you can book to see a dermatologist if you feel you want a professional diagnosis and would like to receive a treatment to manage the symptoms.
