Redness and Rosacea
Facial redness has many causes, some of which are: eczema, irritation from over-exfoliation, contact dermatitis (allergic reaction to a new product’s ingredients), seborrheic dermatitis (around your nose and eyebrows), genetic flushing, sun exposure, and rosacea. Sometimes vascular issues can cause redness or broken blood vessels to form. While this can be normal and often harmless, we may feel self-conscious about the way it looks, especially when it is present on our face.
Redness and Rosacea
Rosacea is a common skin ailment that causes redness and small bumps on the face. The most noticeable symptoms include redness on your cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead and sometimes (but rarely) on your neck, head, ears, or chest. If you’ve had rosacea for a while, your skin may show broken vessels that can thicken and swell up. About 50% of people with rosacea also experience eye problems like redness, swelling, and pain. Other common symptoms you may get include:
● Larger pores
● Patches of rough, dry skin
● Stinging and burning skin
● A swollen, bulb-shaped nose
● Broken blood vessels on your eyelids
● Bumps on your eyelids
● Problems with seeing
Rosacea symptoms aren’t always consistent; they might flare up for a few weeks, fade, and then return. Because untreated rosacea can worsen and become permanent, you must see a dermatologist who can prescribe you the proper treatment.
What Causes Rosacea?
While the exact causes of rosacea are unknown, research suggests that defects in the immune, nervous, or vascular systems may result in the condition. In general, rosacea tends to run in families, and people who are fair-skinned and blush easily are more likely to have it. Often, people experience symptoms as adults between 30 and 60 years of age. While women get rosacea more on the cheeks and chin, men usually have rhinophyma and experience more severe forms of rosacea.
