What is Rosacea?

A chronic skin disorder, rosacea, presents as redness, prominent blood vessels, and sometimes small, acne-like bumps. Recognizing these symptoms early and seeking appropriate treatment is essential for effective management. Rosacea primarily affects the face and can range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include the following:

  • Persistent facial redness, especially in the central part of the face
  • Small, red bumps or pustules on the face
  • A feeling of warmth, tenderness, and swelling
  • Eye symptoms like dryness, irritation, redness, and sensitivity to light
  • Thickening of the skin on the nose (“Rhinophyma”)

What Causes Rosacea?

The exact cause of rosacea is unclear, but it is thought to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. A genetic predisposition to rosacea is suggested by the fact that those with a family history of the condition are more prone to developing it. Additional factors thought to cause rosacea include the following:

  • Environmental triggers:
    • Spicy foods
    • Alcoholic beverages
    • Extreme weather changes
    • Sun exposure
    • Emotional stress
    • Certain physical activities
    • Specific skincare products
  • Microbial factors: Presence of certain bacteria and Demodex mites on the skin
  • Immune system factors: Abnormal inflammatory response
  • Vascular factors: Blood vessel abnormalities leading to increased reactivity

How is Rosacea Diagnosed?

To diagnose rosacea, a qualified healthcare professional like a dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon will conduct a detailed evaluation. This process includes an in-depth examination of the patient’s skin and a review of their medical history and symptoms. The healthcare provider will specifically look for common indicators of rosacea, such as ongoing facial redness, visible blood vessels, and acne-like bumps, and will also ask about potential triggers or factors that exacerbate the condition. Dr. Morgenstern and Monika are well-versed in rosacea diagnosis and treatment.
