Rosacea is a common yet often misunderstood skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It typically presents as persistent redness across the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead, and may also cause visible blood vessels, bumps, or even flare-ups that feel hot, itchy, or uncomfortable. For many, it can feel like a constant battle with sensitive, inflamed skin that reacts easily to stress, weather changes, spicy foods, or skincare products.

What Causes Rosacea?

While the exact cause of rosacea isn’t fully understood, several factors are believed to contribute, including genetics, immune system overactivity, and environmental triggers. These can cause the blood vessels in the skin to dilate too easily, leading to prolonged redness and inflammation. Some people may also experience sensations of stinging, burning, or general sensitivity.
