Rosacea is a chronic skin disease that mainly affects the face and is characterized by facial redness. It is produced by a mite called Demodex folliculorum which is a parasite that resides in the sebaceous glands.
It is a very common inhabitant of the skin and in moderate amounts does not usually cause problems. However, in cases of excessive proliferation it may contribute to the development of skin conditions.
Rosacea can affect people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds, although it is more common in fair-skinned people.
Persistent redness of the skin, often accompanied by dilated veins on the face.
Redness and bumps on the skin that resemble acne.
Thickening of the skin and bumps on the nose, known as bulbous nose.
It is characterized by eye irritation and redness.
Although the exact cause of rosacea is not yet fully understood, it is believed that a combination of genetic and environmental factors contribute to its development. Common triggers include sun exposure, stress, alcohol, spicy foods and certain medications.
Rosacea cannot be cured, but treatments can help control symptoms and prevent progression of the disease. Treatments may include topical medications, oral antibiotics, laser therapy and lifestyle changes.
This includes, for example, various creams, gels or lotions. Depending on the severity of symptoms, internal (systemic) therapy is recommended.
Here, antibiotics such as doxycycline or some vitamin A derivatives such as isotretinoin may be prescribed.
Especially in the case of severe rosacea or rosacea that has not been treated successfully so far, a combination therapy of both therapy variants can be tried.
Laser treatment for rosacea focuses on reducing the appearance of dilated blood vessels.
