What is Rosacea:
It is a common long-term skin condition that causes blushing or flushing and visible blood vessels. It mainly affects the face. It may also produce small pus-filled bumps. These signs and symptoms may flare up for weeks or months and then go away again for a while. Rosacea can be mistaken for acne, other skin problems or natural ruddiness. Rosacea can affect anyone but it’s most common in middle-aged women and men. There’s no cure for rosacea but treatment can control and reduce the signs and symptoms.
Signs & Symptoms:
Facial flushing or blushing. Rosacea can cause a persistent blushing or flushing in the central part of your face.
Visible veins: Small veins on your nose and cheeks break and become visible (spider veins)
Swollen bumps: Many patients develop pus-containing pimples that are often mistaken for acne vulgaris
Burning sensation: The skin of the affected area may feel hot and tender
Eye problems: Many patients with rosacea experience dry, irritated, swollen eyes and eyelids. This is known as ocular rosacea and affects up to 50% of patients with rosacea. In some patients the eye symptoms precede the skin symptoms
Enlarged nose. Over time rosacea can thicken the skin on the nose, causing the nose to look Bulbous(rhinophyma). This occurs more often in men than women.
When to see a Doctor:
If you experience persistent symptoms of your face or eyes; it is time to see a Doctor/Dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
