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.

An angioma is a type of benign tumour made up of blood vessels. They are more likely to occur as a person ages, however they can come about at any age and anywhere on the body. They will usually appear quite close to the surface of the skin and are generally not painful, however to prevent any further problems, it is often recommended that they be removed.
When a dermatological condition presents itself the safest method of treatment may involve the removal of skin for diagnosis and analysis, to remove an affected area and encourage healing or grafting of skin to facilitate natural dermal repair.
