ROSACEA
(FACIAL REDNESS)
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes pimples on the face. It primarily affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, and tends to flare up in response to triggers such as heat, spicy foods, or stress. While the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, it is believed to be related to an overactive immune system, genetics, and environmental factors.
How Common is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a relatively common condition, affecting around 1 in 10 Australians. It is most common in individuals with fair skin and typically begins between the ages of 30 and 50. Women are more likely to develop rosacea, although men often experience more severe symptoms.
What Causes Rosacea?
The precise cause of rosacea is not entirely understood, but several factors are thought to contribute to its development:
- Genetics: A family history of rosacea or other skin conditions may increase the risk.
- Immune System Abnormalities: An overactive immune system can lead to inflammation, triggering rosacea flare-ups.
- Environmental Triggers: Sun exposure, heat, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress can all exacerbate rosacea.
- Blood Vessel Abnormalities: Dilated blood vessels in the skin can cause the characteristic redness and flushing of rosacea.
