What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a type of skin condition that causes inflammation on the face. Also known as acne rosacea, the condition is characterized by flushing, redness, and the outbreak of non-tender pustules on the face, which are not contagious. Fortunately for suffers, rosacea does not scar however the causes are unknown and can be embarrassing having to face the world during bad flare-ups.
Causes of rosacea
Rosacea typically develops between the ages of 30 and 50 years old. The disease is more prevalent in women, although men who develop it are more prone to more severe types of the disease.
There are several treatment options available including tablets and creams/ointments as well as avoiding known triggers. To prevent flare-ups, rosacea sufferers should avoid:
- Over-exposure to the elements (sun, wind, hot and cold weather, humidity, etc.)
- Emotional stress
- Heavy exercise
- Alcohol consumption
- Hot baths
- Spicy foods
- Indoor heating
- Non-sensitive cosmetics and skincare products
