Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that typically affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, red, pus-filled bumps. Although anyone can develop rosacea, it most commonly affects middle-aged women with fair skin. The exact cause of rosacea isn’t known, but factors such as genetics, environmental triggers, and an overactive immune system may play a role.
People with rosacea often notice their symptoms worsen in response to certain triggers, including hot drinks, spicy foods, sunlight, stress, and alcohol. Over time, rosacea symptoms can become more noticeable, making early diagnosis and management important.
If you’re experiencing persistent facial redness or other symptoms of rosacea, Ramsay Health Care UK have a number of Consultant Dermatologists who can offer consultations to discuss treatment and management options.
