What is Rosacea?

For most people, rosacea is the redness on their cheeks that lingers, despite no symptoms and no physical or emotional stimuli to explain the redness remaining. As it progresses, it can emerge as tiny red blood vessels across the nose and cheeks or small pimples across the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. More extreme cases of rosacea include enlarged oil glands and enlarged nose and chin.

The following are the stages of rosacea that can be noted as it progresses:

• Type 1: Smooth and red appearance
• Type 2: Bumpy and Read skin surface
• Type 3: Thickened, bumpy, red skin (usually nose and chin area)
• Type 4: Irritated and red eyes

What factors can trigger rosacea?

Although the underlying root cause of rosacea is not fully known, there are some environmental triggers that have been shown to trigger a rosacea flareup. Some of these can be sun exposure, alcohol, spicy foods, emotional upheavals, straining, stress or things that cause an intense flushing of the face.
