Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects the face and can worsen with time if left untreated. Rosacea is often mistaken for acne, eczema, or a skin allergy. It is commonly found affecting fair-skinned people or people with a family history of rosacea and those with a history of acne are also more likely to develop the condition. While there is no known cause for rosacea or a permanent cure for this condition, there are a number of ways that can be used to relieve the symptoms.
Rosacea usually starts as mild redness on cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, and can progress to bumps, pimples, and visible blood vessels. Symptoms can also be stinging or burning sensations, dryness, and flaking of the skin.
There is no clear cause of rosacea, it is believed that a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors are responsible for Rosacea. Things that may triggers Rosacea may be sunlight, stress, hot or cold weather, alcohol, spicy foods, and certain medications.
