What causes rosacea?
Rosacea is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic factors and abnormalities in the immune system and blood vessels. [ ref:1 ]
Environmental factors such as sun exposure, extreme temperatures, spicy foods, alcohol, and certain skincare products can trigger or worsen rosacea symptoms. [ ref:1 ]
How long do cold sores last?
Common rosacea symptoms include constant facial redness, flushing or blushing easily, visible blood vessels, bumps or pimples, and thickened or swollen skin.
Some people may also experience stinging or burning sensations, dryness, eye irritation, and skin texture changes. Rosacea symptoms often occur on the central part of the face, such as the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. [ ref:1 ]
