Understanding Rosacea: Causes, Triggers and Treatments

how to treat rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes flushing or long-term redness on the skin. You may also notice enlarged blood vessels or small, pus-filled bumps. Sometimes, rosacea can be mistaken for acne, dermatitis or other skin concerns. While there is no cure for rosacea, it can be managed with the right products, treatments and lifestyle adjustments to help prevent further flare-ups.

Types of Rosacea

There are different types of rosacea, each with its own set of symptoms:

  1. Erythematotelangiectatic (ETR) – Skin appears red and flushed with visible thread veins.

  2. Papulopustular – Often known as acne rosacea, this type is associated with spots and breakouts.

  3. Phymatous – A rarer form linked to skin thickening, particularly on the nose, and more commonly found in men.

  4. Ocular – Primarily affects the eyes, causing irritation and redness.

What Triggers Rosacea?

Although the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, certain triggers can worsen symptoms. Common triggers include:

  1. Stress

  2. Hot drinks

  3. Spicy food

  4. Alcohol

  5. Caffeine

  6. Extreme temperatures

  7. Sun exposure

  8. Heat from baths or cooking

  9. Genetics
