About Rosacea
Persistent redness, flushing and occasional small bumps on the cheeks, nose and forehead characterise rosacea, a chronic skin condition.
What Can Cause Rosacea
The exact cause is not known, but heat, strong sun, alcohol, hot drinks, spicy food and stress commonly trigger flares, which is why holidays can make it worse.
How Rosacea Is Treated
The doctor looks at photos, confirms the likely diagnosis, advises on triggers and prescribes treatment for flares when suitable. Typical choices are topical metronidazole, azelaic acid or ivermectin, and sometimes oral antibiotics.
- Use gentle cleansers
- Keep a diary of triggers
- Use a high-factor sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat
