What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a common skin condition characterised by facial redness, flushing, and sometimes the presence of pimples and pustules. It is not acne, but it can cause embarrassment and a loss of confidence if left untreated.

What are the types of rosacea?

There are four main types of rosacea, and it's possible to experience more than one at the same time:

  • Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea

  • Papulopustular rosacea

  • Phymatous rosacea

  • Ocular rosacea

Each type can look and feel different, so it's important to speak with a doctor for guidance on managing your symptoms.


What are the symptoms of rosacea?

Symptoms of rosacea include frequent blushing, flushing, or persistent redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. Small visible blood vessels on the face, bumps or pimples that may sting or burn (typically on the cheeks, chin, and nose), and red or irritated eyes with swollen eyelids are also common signs. Over time, the redness may become more persistent, and the skin can become thicker, particularly around the nose.

What can trigger rosacea?

Many individuals with rosacea find that certain factors can trigger their symptoms. These may include sun exposure, stress, hot weather, alcohol, spicy foods, exercise, hot baths, or specific medications or skin care products. Keeping a diary can help identify personal triggers to avoid them.

How do you get rid of rosacea permanently?

There is no cure for rosacea, but there are various treatments that a doctor or dermatologist may recommend to manage the symptoms.

What is the best treatment for rosacea?

There’s no single best treatment for rosacea, as it depends on your symptoms and how your skin responds. Your doctor may suggest topical or oral treatments to help reduce redness, inflammation, or bumps. In some cases, light-based or laser therapies might be considered to target visible blood vessels or long-term facial redness. You may need several follow up sessions depending on how frequently you get flare ups.

Alongside medical rosacea treatments, it is important to use non-irritating skin-care products, wash the face gently, use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher, and avoid the use of steroid creams. Keeping the face cool can help reduce flushing.

How can I prevent getting rosacea in the first place?

There is currently no known cause for rosacea, so it can't be prevented. But with the right care, it can be managed effectively.
