ROSACEA

What is rosacea?

Rosacea is a circulatory skin abnormality, meaning that it relates to the blood circulation of the skin and causes redness. This condition usually affects the face mainly the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead, but it can also go down to the neck and affect the eyes.

This skin “disease” can begin to affect predisposed adults from the age of 20 and the peak frequency is between 30 and 50 years old.

What are the types of rosacea?

Rosacea manifests itself in the form of redness and pimples on the face.
Normally, this chronic anomaly evolves in several stages, but depending on one person to another it will not necessarily go through all the stages.

Erythemato-telangiectatic (or vascular)

occasional and temporary facial redness
facial edema (swelling)
telangiectasias (small visible vessels)
burning sensation
dry skin

Papulopustular

persistent redness
buttons
telangiectasias (small visible vessels)

Phymatous (or sebaceous hyperplasia)

permanent redness of the nose, cheeks, chin, forehead and eyelids

visible vessels in the eyes

Granulomatous

rare variant

not necessarily other signs of rosacea

How can rosacea be prevented?

Since people with rosacea are predisposed to having it, it cannot necessarily be prevented. What we can do, however, is prevent symptoms, so that it is not too obvious and its development is slow.

It is advisable to avoid factors that favor it, anything that will increase body temperature and irritate the skin, and to use products that will strengthen the vascular wall and the skin, as well as protect them.
