Did you know that April is Rosacea Awareness Month? For those that suffer from rosacea they are well aware of what rosacea is. Other people may not totally understand what rosacea is and how it affects those people that have it. Today Skin and Body Refinery wants to talk all about rosacea so that you can better understand it if you have it and you can learn more about it if you do not.
What is Rosacea?
Let’s start by defining rosacea. The Oxford dictionary defines rosacea as “a condition in which certain facial blood vessels enlarge, giving the cheeks and nose a flushed appearance.” Many times, it produces small, red, pus-filled bumps on your face as well. It is a chronic condition that causes long term problems for those that have it.
Rosacea Symptoms
Frequently when people experience the first signs of rosacea they are not sure what is happening so they ignore them. Ignoring the symptoms and not seeking treatment can cause larger issues. We want you to know what the symptoms are so that if it happens to you, you will know what it is.
• Redness on your cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead
• Sometimes these red spots will also appear on your neck, head, ears, or chest as well
• Broken blood vessels showing through your skin
• Swelling or pain, particularly around your eyes or nose
• Stinging and burning skin
• Patches of rough, dry skin
• Large pores
• Bumps on your eyelids
• Vision issues
Rosacea Flare-Up
The symptoms of rosacea will flare up for a few weeks, fade for a while, and then come back. The in and out symptoms are what cause many people to not seek treatment. If you have these symptoms you will want to address it right away.
