Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, leading to redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small red, pus-filled bumps. It often starts with blushing or flushing and can worsen over time, causing persistent redness and irritation. While rosacea is more common in fair-skinned individuals, it can affect anyone. The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but it is thought to be linked to a combination of hereditary and environmental factors.
What Causes Rosacea?
Genetics: Individuals with a family history of rosacea are more likely to develop the condition.
Environmental Triggers: Sun exposure, wind, heat, cold, and spicy foods can trigger rosacea flare-ups and worsen symptoms.
Immune System Response: Some research suggests that rosacea may be linked to an overactive immune response, causing inflammation and redness.
Skin Mites: Higher concentrations of Demodex mites, which live on the skin, may play a role in rosacea development in some individuals.
Vascular Abnormalities: Enlarged blood vessels in the skin can contribute to rosacea’s characteristic redness and flushing.
