Rosacea: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

at Omniya Clinic in London

What is rosacea?

Rosacea skin condition characterised by redness on the face in a butterfly pattern (ie across the nose and cheeks), flushing, pimples, vascular lines, thinking skin and/or eye irritation. Not everyone with Rosacea will have all symptoms but even one of them can cause discomfort and self-consciousness.

The condition tends to flare up at times but is understood to be chronic. As well as the face, rashes and pimples can also appear on the back, neck, scalp and behind the ears.

More women than men have rosacea, but it tends to be more severe in the latter. In very advanced cases it can result in rhinophyma (or swelling of the nose) due to cells there becoming enlarged. The redness and rashes of rosacea are the result of broken or dilated capillaries under the skin.
