What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a skin condition in which redness and small, pus-filled bumps develop on the face. It is a genetic inflammatory disorder with no known cause and is more common in people with fair skin and light eyes. A hypersensitivity to the sun and other factors cause the blood vessels near the surface of the skin to expand and the rush of circulation to the area make the complexion appear red. When the body notices an injury (in this case, the rush of circulation & dilation of blood vessels) it sends more inflammatory cells to the area in an attempt to fix the problem, which exacerbates it.

What are the Causes?

The cause of rosacea is not known, but a combination of environmental and hereditary factors may be a source. Poor hygiene is not a cause, contrary to the popular myth. Symptoms may be triggered or aggravated by extreme shifts in temperature, spicy foods and hot drinks, alcohol, sunlight, exercise, cosmetics, drugs that dilate the blood vessels and emotions. Women, people with fair skin, people who are over the age of 30 and people with a family history of rosacea are more likely to develop this skin condition.

What are the Symptoms?

The most common symptoms of rosacea may include:

Facial redness, including small blood vessels on the nose and cheeks
Pus-filled bumps on the face
Irritated, swollen and dry eyes
Reddened eyelids
An enlarged nose

There is no cure for rosacea, but treatments can help to control and reduce these signs and symptoms.
