Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, leading to persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It is often triggered by environmental factors, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and temperature extremes. While the exact cause remains unclear, factors such as genetics, immune response, and skin mites like Demodex folliculorum may contribute. Rosacea is most common in fair-skinned individuals over 30 and can worsen without proper treatment. Symptoms vary but often include facial flushing, sensitivity, burning sensations, and, in severe cases, thickened skin. Effective management involves lifestyle adjustments, medical treatments, and skincare tailored to minimize flare-ups and maintain skin health.
