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.
Acne is frequent both during teenage years and in adulthood. It seems to be becoming more frequent among adults, with almost 30% of 20 year olds and 20% of 30 year olds suffering with recurring outbreaks.
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.
Some of us have hardly any moles whilst others have many. Moles that look abnormal may be harbouring skin cancer therefore it is important to have them checked regularly. Sudden changes in the size or shape of a mole should be reported to your Consultant immediately.
