What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, including the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. In some cases, it can also appear on the neck, scalp, chest, and eyes. The condition is characterized by persistent redness, acne-like bumps, visible small blood vessels, and occasional flushing.
Rosacea flare-ups are often triggered by factors such as sun exposure, extreme temperatures, certain foods and drinks, emotional stress, and lifestyle habits.
If your skin frequently becomes red without an obvious cause or acne-like spots appear that do not respond to treatment, book an appointment with us. Our experienced doctors will examine your skin and create a personalized treatment plan to help manage and reduce rosacea symptoms.
Types of Rosacea
Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea
This is a chronic form of rosacea characterized by persistent facial redness and visible, enlarged blood vessels on the skin surface. It often presents with flares, where symptoms come and go unexpectedly, and in severe cases, leads to constant blushing and pronounced vascular changes.
Papulopustular Rosacea
This type of rosacea is characterized by red bumps and pus-filled lesions called pustules, which can look similar to whiteheads. Its symptoms often resemble acne, but unlike typical acne, it usually does not include blackheads. This form of rosacea most commonly affects middle-aged women and usually appears on the central areas of the face, including the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. During flare-ups, the skin may also become temporarily swollen, irritated, or tender
Phymatous Rosacea
Phymatous Rosacea is a subtype of rosacea, a common, long-term inflammatory skin condition that tends to relapse. It affects males more frequently than females and usually develops in adulthood, though rare cases in children have been reported. In this condition, the oil glands enlarge and hair follicles may dilate, causing thickened, bumpy, or swollen skin. The most commonly affected area is the nose, which can become bulbous—a condition known as rhinophyma. Other areas, such as the chin, forehead, ears, and eyelids, can also be affected. Without proper medical treatment, phymatous rosacea can lead to irreversible skin changes
Ocular Rosacea
It is a type of rosacea that affects the eyes and eyelids, causing redness, dryness, irritation, burning, itching, and inflammation. Some patients may also experience sensitivity to light. This condition can make the eyes and surrounding skin feel uncomfortable or painful during flare-ups.
Ocular rosacea is sometimes associated with meibomian gland dysfunction, which affects the oil-producing glands in the eyelids. While it is a specific subtype of rosacea, it is related to the overall inflammatory skin condition that commonly affects the face.
What Are the Symptoms of Rosacea?
What Causes Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that mainly affects the face. The exact cause is unknown, but it may be linked to genetics, an overactive immune system, or environmental factors. It is not contagious and is not caused by poor hygiene.
What Can Trigger Rosacea?
Certain things can cause rosacea flare-ups:
- Sun exposure or extreme temperatures

How Rosacea Develops
Several factors may contribute to rosacea:
- Blood vessel or immune system issues – can cause persistent redness and inflammation
- Skin mites (Demodex) – tiny mites that naturally live on the skin; too many may trigger symptoms
- Bacterial infection – H. pylori infection may increase the risk
- Protein problems – Cathelicidin protects the skin; if it malfunctions, redness and bumps can occur

How Soon Will I Feel Better After Treatment?
The time it takes to feel better depends on the type and severity of your symptoms. If your doctor prescribes medication, they will monitor your progress to ensure it is effective. As your symptoms improve, your provider may gradually adjust or reduce your dosage.
What questions should I ask my doctor about rosacea?
What steps can I take to reduce or prevent flare-ups?
Which skincare products or routines are safe for my skin?
How and when should I use any prescribed medications?
Is it safe to use makeup while managing rosacea?
Are there any procedures or treatments I might need in the future?
Can rosacea get worse with age?
If left untreated, rosacea may gradually worsen over time. However, with early treatment and proper ongoing care, symptoms can be managed, and flare-ups can be kept under control.
Can lifestyle changes help manage rosacea?
Absolutely. Along with medical treatment, lifestyle adjustments can help manage rosacea. We will provide guidance on effective skincare routines and dietary choices to reduce flare-ups and keep symptoms under control.
How do dermatologists diagnose rosacea?
A dermatologist diagnoses rosacea by examining your skin and eyes and asking questions about your symptoms, since signs can come and go. Usually, diagnosis is made through a simple physical examination of the face.
Sometimes, additional tests are needed to rule out other conditions, like eczema or lupus, which can cause similar redness. In rare cases, if granulomatous rosacea is suspected, a skin biopsy may be performed. During a biopsy, a small piece of skin is removed while you are awake and sent to a lab for examination under a microscope.
After reviewing all findings, your dermatologist can confirm the diagnosis and recommend the best treatment plan.
Can Children Get Rosacea?
Although rosacea most commonly begins after age 30, it can affect people of any age, including children and teens, in a form known as pediatric rosacea.
In younger individuals, symptoms may differ slightly from those in adults. Children and teens often have more sensitive skin and may experience flushing, persistent facial redness, or frequent and prolonged blushing. It is always recommended to take your child to a dermatologist if these symptoms are noticed, to ensure proper diagnosis and care.
In some cases, rosacea in children first affects the eyes. They may develop red or irritated eyes, recurring styes or conjunctivitis (pinkeye), and eyelids that become red, swollen, or itchy more often than usual.
