Redness & Rosacea Treatments
Rosacea is a chronic condition often characterised by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It typically affects areas such as the cheeks, nose, and forehead, and may flare up in response to triggers like sun exposure, spicy foods, stress, or certain skincare products. Left untreated, rosacea can worsen over time, leading to persistent redness and skin irritation.

Four different types of rosacea:
Type 1: Flushing and persistent redness that may also include visible blood vessels
• This rosacea is usually the least severe. Like the other types, it may be accompanied by enlarged sweat glands, oiliness and/or dry and flaky skin.
• The skin may become sensitive with a burning and stinging effect when it comes into contact with make-up, sunscreens and other facial creams or by exposure to sun and/or hot and spicy food or drink (anything that reddens the face).
Type 2: Persistent redness with transient bums and pimples
• This rosacea often includes raised red patches without changes in the surrounding skin.
• Even though rosacea used to be called ‘acne rosacea’ and shares certain similarities with acne, it is actually quite different. There are red spots and sometimes pus-filled pimples in both conditions, but in rosacea, they are dome-shaped rather than pointed and there are no blackheads, whiteheads, deep cysts, or lumps.
Type 3: Skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose
- This type is a more advanced case of rosacea, also called rhinophyma. The entire face including the eyelids, may become subject to swelling. Surface irregularities of the nose with prominent pores and fibrous thickening can occur.
- More common in men, rhinophyma is characterized by a bulbous, enlarged red nose and puffy cheeks. Thick bumps can also develop on the lower half of the nose and cheeks. This type of rosacea is relatively uncommon.
Type 4: Eye irritation
• This rosacea may involve a reddening of the eyes, a feeling of ‘grit’ in the eyes or crusting on the lashes and sometimes a clear discharge. The eyes may also become dry or teary with a burning sensation. Many with this condition mistakenly think they have allergies.
• When it first develops, rosacea may come and go on its own. When the skin doesn’t return to its normal colour and when further symptoms, such as pimples and enlarged blood vessels become visible, dermatologic treatment should be sought. The condition rarely reverses itself and may last for years. Rosacea can become worse without treatment so early diagnosis and treatment is recommended.
