What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a common inflammatory condition of the skin of the face that causes redness that looks like a flush or blush. It is initially characterised by outbreaks and periods of improvement. Rosacea is sometimes called acne rosacea, which is misleading because rosacea and acne are two totally different conditions, although they can appear together.

Rosacea often appears as tiny blood vessels of the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead become quite prominent and can occur in both men and women. People with rosacea often find that certain lifestyle and environmental factors trigger a flare-up or aggravate their individual conditions. Common triggers include certain foods (especially hot or spicy foods) and drink, (especially alcohol and caffeine), exercise, harsh skincare products, temperature changes, exposure to the sun, rain or wind, and stress.
