Rosacea and facial flushing

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that most commonly affects the face. It can cause persistent redness, sensitivity, burning, visible capillaries, and sometimes acne-like bumps. The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation, calm the skin, minimize redness, and create a long-term plan to keep the condition under control.

What is rosacea and what causes it?
What is rosacea and what causes it?

Rosacea is more than simply “sensitive skin” or occasional facial redness. It is a chronic condition in which the skin overreacts to internal and external factors. Blood vessels become more reactive, the skin barrier is often compromised, and inflammation may flare periodically.

The exact causes of rosacea are not fully understood, but genetic predisposition, vascular hyperreactivity, altered immune response, microorganisms such as Demodex folliculorum, and UV exposure may all play a role. Common triggers include sun exposure, heat, sudden temperature changes, saunas, alcohol, spicy foods, hot beverages, stress, intense exercise, and unsuitable skincare products.

Types of rosacea we treat

Phymatous rosacea

Phymatous rosacea is a less common form associated with thickening of the skin, most often affecting the nose, where it is known as rhinophyma. It requires a specialized medical approach.

Papulopustular rosacea

Papulopustular rosacea can resemble acne, with red bumps and pustules. Because the two conditions require different treatment approaches, an accurate differential diagnosis and a targeted treatment protocol are essential.
