Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It commonly affects the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. With proper diagnosis and personalised treatment, rosacea symptoms can often be effectively managed.
At Aura Laser & Cosmetic Clinic, we focus on understanding your skin concerns and recommending suitable treatments to help improve skin comfort, appearance, and overall skin health.
What Are the Common Signs of Rosacea?
1. Papules and Pustules
Rosacea may cause small red bumps and pus-filled pimples, often resembling acne. Unlike ordinary acne, these breakouts may occur without blackheads or whiteheads.
2. Thickened Skin
In some cases, rosacea can cause the skin to thicken, particularly around the nose. This condition, known as rhinophyma, may develop gradually and requires professional assessment.
3. Facial Redness
Persistent redness across the cheeks, nose, forehead, or chin is one of the most recognisable signs of rosacea. Some people also experience episodes of flushing.
4. Visible Blood Vessels
Small, visible blood vessels may appear on the cheeks and nose, making the skin look red or flushed.
5. Eye Problems
Ocular rosacea can cause dry, irritated, watery, or bloodshot eyes, along with burning or a gritty sensation. Eye symptoms should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
