Struggling with Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like breakouts. It primarily affects the central part of the face, including the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. Rosacea can vary in severity and often goes through cycles of flare-ups and remissions.

What Causes Rosacea

The exact cause of rosacea remains unclear, but it's believed to be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. People with a family history of rosacea are more likely to develop it. External triggers often worsen the condition—these include sun exposure, hot or spicy foods, alcohol, emotional stress, extreme weather, and certain skincare products. Vigorous exercise and overheating can also cause flare-ups. Understanding your personal triggers is important in managing symptoms and preventing frequent episodes.

Can rosacea be cured?
Rosacea is a chronic condition, so while it cannot be fully cured, its symptoms can be controlled very well with the right treatment plan and regular care.
