Do you feel like your face looks as if you were blushing all the time and also you may see little bumps that looks slightly like an acne? Maybe you’ve never heard about it, but the chances are that you may have a condition called rosacea. This is a common skin condition that causes redness on your skin – cheeks, nose, forehead or chin. Less often, the colour appears on neck , ears or chest, however this also happens.

Some of the other symptoms may include larger pores, problems with seeing, patches of rough, dry skin, broken blood vessel on your eyelids and the burning sensation of your skin.

In order to treat rosacea, you need to seek the advice of the dermatologist for the proper diagnosis and treatment suited your needs. The doctors can suggest medicine and there is also plenty of other steps you can take at home to help your condition.

It’s important to remember that rosacea symptoms can come and go. Therefore, it’s key to be aware that they might flare up for a few weeks, fade, and then come back. Unfortunately, there isn’t a cure for rosacea yet, however your doctor may recommend you some medicine and creams that will help you manage redness and other symptoms.

Some of them include:

• Ivermectin and Oxymetazoline
• Brimonidine
• Azelaic Acid
• Isotretinoin

Some alternative options include the laser treatment that will remove the blood vessels that have gone bigger or dermabrasion, which is a quite popular beauty treatment which sands off the top layer of the skin.

There is also lots of things you can do at home to prevent the outbreaks and it’s crucial to observe your body in order to see which factors trigger them ( it could be sun, wind, stress, alcohol, hot baths, some medicine, spicy foods).

That’s why you should always remember to put a sunscreen on with a high protection and only use gentle skin care products. Don’t forget to use a moisturiser and cover up to not expose the broken blood vessels to the sun.
