Why Rosacea happens and how to treat it?

What is Rosacea? 

Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in your face. It often affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. While the exact cause of rosacea is unknown, several factors may contribute to its development, including genetics, environmental factors, and underlying health conditions. 

Common Symptoms of Rosacea 

• Facial flushing: A temporary redness of the face, often triggered by heat, cold, stress, or alcohol. 
• Persistent facial redness: A constant redness that doesn't go away. 
• Visible blood vessels: Tiny, red blood vessels may appear on the face, particularly the nose and cheeks. 
• Bumps and pimples: Small, red, pus-filled bumps may develop on the face. 
• Dry skin: The skin may become dry, sensitive, and easily irritated. 
• Eye problems: In some cases, rosacea can affect the eyes, causing dryness, redness, and sensitivity to light.

While there's no cure for rosacea, effective treatments can help manage symptoms and improve your skin's appearance. Here are some strategies to consider:
