Rosacea is a type of red rash that commonly appears on the
centre of the face. You may not notice
that you have rosacea as it has been known to be mistaken as ‘flushing’ in the
first instance. This is where your face goes slightly red, often when you are
hot or embarrassed. Rosacea is where the
redness remains, and small spots or bumps begin to develop in these areas, and
don’t seem to fade away.
Whilst the causes of rosacea aren’t specifically known, it
is important to take care of your skin –making sure you don’t use any harsh
chemicals on your face, or anything perfumed which could irritate the redness.
So how would you know if you have rosacea? Here are some common
symptoms of rosacea that have been found:
-
Sensitive skin on the face
-
Burning or stinging feeling if anything touches
your face
-
Constant flushing and redness
-
Red bumps appearing on any part of the face
If you are familiar with any of these symptoms, you should see
a doctor in the first instance to confirm if it is rosacea. There are no real diagnosis methods to see if
you have the condition, but it can be often recognised by the above
symptoms. A skin practitioner may be
another alternative to seeing a doctor; as they will be able to provide
suitable products which won’t irritate your rosacea condition further, specifically
using chemicals that are gentle on your skin.
The redness that rosacea causes can sometimes lead to
further problems in a person’s self-esteem and confidence. Sufferers of rosacea have previously stated they
become anxious of their appearance, and some individuals have experienced bouts
of depression. If you have rosacea, you should try not to worry, as it can make
the condition worse. A skin practitioner can work with you to help control the
symptoms of rosacea, which may eventually show an improvement, helping you to feel
better about your appearance.
The type of treatment offered by a skin practitioner will
depend on how severe the condition of rosacea is, and the skin type of the
individual. Long term treatments are
usually better than no treatment at all.

to treat the symptoms of rosacea, providing suitable treatments tailored for each
individual.
