Rosacea Q & A

What are the symptoms of rosacea?

Rosacea leads to a wide variety of issues that most commonly affect your face. Depending on the severity of your case of rosacea, you may experience:

Facial flushing and redness
Visible broken blood vessels
Scaling, roughness, or dryness
Acne-like breakouts
Overly sensitive skin

Some types of rosacea can even affect your eyes. This can lead to a constant gritty feeling, almost like you have sand in your eyes, as well as blurred vision and cysts on your eyelids.

Although rare, sometimes rosacea even leads to thickening of your skin. If left untreated, this type of rosacea can lead to enlarged pores and extremely bumpy skin texture.

Why do I have rosacea?

The symptoms you experience with rosacea and how severely the condition affects you often depends on your genetics and inherited traits. You’re more likely to struggle with rosacea if you:

Are fair-skinned
Are acne-prone
Smoke cigarettes
Are between 30-50 years of age
Have blonde hair and blue eyes
Come from Celtic or Scandinavian ancestry

Rosacea tends to affect women more commonly than men. But when men develop rosacea, it’s usually more likely to be severe. No matter what’s causing your rosacea, the sooner you come into Integrated Dermatology of Clinton for a rosacea evaluation, the quicker your dedicated dermatologist can get you started on treatment, so you won’t have to live another day with unsightly facial redness.
