Understanding Rosacea: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

At Derma 360 Clinics, we understand the challenges of managing rosacea, a common skin condition characterized by persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps or pustules. While its exact cause is unknown, understanding its triggers and effective treatments can significantly improve your quality of life.

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition primarily affecting the face. It often presents with flushing, persistent redness, and in some cases, small, red, pus-filled bumps. It can also cause eye irritation.

Common Rosacea Triggers

• Hot beverages and spicy foods

• Alcohol and caffeine

• Extreme temperatures (hot or cold)

• Sun exposure

• Stress and certain medications

• Topical Medications: Creams and gels to reduce redness and inflammation.

• Oral Medications: Antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline) for more severe cases to control inflammation and breakouts.

• Laser and Light Therapies: Advanced treatments like IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to reduce visible blood vessels and redness.

• Skincare Guidance: Personalized advice on gentle skincare products and routines to minimize irritation.

Living with rosacea doesn't mean you have to suffer. By identifying your triggers and adhering to a tailored treatment plan, you can effectively manage symptoms and improve your skin's appearance.
