What is Rosacea?
Causes of Rosacea
● Vascular and inflammatory factors: Abnormalities in blood vessels and heightened inflammatory responses within the skin are believed to contribute to rosacea.
● Genetic predisposition: A family history of rosacea can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
● Triggers: Certain factors like sun exposure, alcohol, spicy foods, and temperature extremes can trigger or worsen rosacea symptoms. Hot humid environments like the kitchen, getting emotional or crying, use of certain cosmetic products and improper lifestyle are a few more to add on.
Signs of Rosacea
● Facial redness: Persistent redness, often in the central face, is a hallmark of rosacea. It can resemble a flush or sunburn.
● Visible blood vessels: Small, visible blood vessels (telangiectasia) become prominent, appearing as fine, red lines on the skin.
● Pimple-like bumps: Rosacea can lead to the development of papules and pustules, which are small, red, and pus-filled.
Types of Rosaces
● Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea (ETR): This is commonly known as vascular rosacea which is characterized by redness of face, flushing, and blood vessel appearance.
● Papulopustular Rosacea (Inflammatory Rosacea): Here redness and swelling are accompanied by severe breakouts called papules and pustules.
● Rhinophyma (Phytamous Rosaces): This happens on or near the nose where the skin thickens and usually has a raised texture. It leads to an enlarged nose which appears swollen, and bulb shaped.
● Ocular Rosacea: Some people can feel grittiness in the eyes, and have dry, irritated, or swollen eyes. Eyelids can appear bumpy and red as a result of broken blood vessels.
