Rosacea: What is it?
Rosacea is a long-term inflammatory skin disorder that typically manifests as redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and occasionally pimples that resemble acne. Rosacea is a degenerative disorder that needs specific care, while being frequently confused with adult acne or general sensitivity.
It usually affects the chin, forehead, nose, and cheeks, and if treatment is not received, it may get worse over time. For long-term skin health and clarity, we at Rasa Derm use a comprehensive, professional approach to reduce inflammation, fortify the skin barrier, and noticeably lessen redness.
Rosacea is brought on by a number of events that result in vascular alterations, increased skin sensitivity, and persistent inflammation rather than a single cause.
People who have a family history of rosacea are at a higher risk of getting the condition. The skin may be more sensitive to environmental and lifestyle stimuli due to genetic influences on vascular sensitivity and immunological response.
The immune system is frequently overactive in skin prone to rosacea. Chronic inflammation, redness, and flare-ups are caused by the skin’s overreaction to common stimuli like heat or skincare products.
One of the most frequent causes of rosacea is exposure to UV radiation. Over time, sunlight causes vascular flare-ups and persistent redness by damaging blood vessels and increasing skin inflammation.
In skin prone to rosacea, hot weather, spicy food, steam rooms, or even abrupt temperature changes can constrict blood vessels and exacerbate facial redness and flushing.
People with rosacea have higher concentrations of Demodex, a naturally occurring skin mite. Inflammation, noticeable lumps, or changes in texture may result from this overcrowding.
Red wine, hot liquids, and too much caffeine can cause blood vessels to dilate, which can cause an abrupt flush, particularly around the nose and cheeks.
Rosacea may be the cause of recurrent face redness, visible capillaries, or abrupt flushing accompanied by burning or sensitivity. Minimizing flare-ups can be achieved by avoiding triggers such as harsh products, spicy foods, sun exposure, and extremely high or low temperatures. Effective therapy is frequently delayed, nevertheless, by self-diagnosing or depending only on home cures.

- You observe pimples that don’t go away despite treatment.
