Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that affects about 1 in 10 people in the UK, typically those aged between 40 to 60. It is characterised by increased blood flow to the face.

What are the symptoms of rosacea?

Symptoms of rosacea can range from irritating to quite painful. They include red, patchy inflammation around the nose, cheeks, and forehead, visible blood vessels, small red pustules, tender and hot skin, dry and irritated eyes, reddened eyelids, and an enlarged nose, more commonly observed in men.

There's no single known cause for rosacea. It appears to be more common in women and individuals over the age of 30. Factors such as genetics, environment, diet (including spicy foods, hot drinks, and alcohol), stress, and anxiety can potentially trigger rosacea.

Can rosacea be cured?

At present, there is no known cure for rosacea. However, symptoms can be managed with appropriate treatments and lifestyle changes.
