Description

This week, we talk about all things rosacea! The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, although a number of possible factors have been suggested, including abnormalities in the blood vessels of the face and a reaction to microscopic mites commonly found on the face. There are still a lot of theories around it being an auto-immune disorder. Overall though, 415 million people in the world are affected by it!

There are four subtypes of rosacea:

• Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea vascular rosacea: Red areas of skin on the face, sometimes small blood vessels are visible.
• Subtype 2: Papulopustular Rosacea inflammatory rosacea: As well as facial redness, there are red bumps (papules) and pus-filled spots (pustules).
• Subtype 3: Phymatous Rosacea: The skin thickens and may become bumpy, particularly on the nose.
• Subtype 4: Ocular Rosacea: Symptoms that are centered around the eyes.
