rosacea treatment singapore

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition in Singapore that causes redness, swelling, and sometimes small, pus-filled bumps on the face. 

It typically appears on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, but can also affect the eyes, causing redness, dryness, and sensitivity to light. Rosacea usually starts after the age of 30 and is more common in fair-skinned people. 

The exact cause of rosacea is currently unknown, but it is believed to be related to genetics, Sun exposure, and abnormalities in the immune system. 

Some likely causes of rosacea include:

• Genetics: rosacea tends to run in families. 
• Abnormalities in the immune system: it is believed that rosacea may be related to immune system problems that cause skin inflammation in the skin.
• Abnormalities in the blood vessels: rosacea is associated with the dilation of blood vessels in the face, which may be caused by abnormalities.
• Lifestyle factors: certain lifestyle triggers, such as Sun exposure, heat, cold, wind, alcohol, spicy foods, and stress, can cause rosacea symptoms to flare up.

The symptoms of rosacea can vary depending on the severity of the condition, but they generally include:

• Redness and inflammation: persistent redness on the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin, and usually gets worse over time.
• Flushing: many people with rosacea experience flushing or blushing in response to certain triggers, such as heat, sunlight, alcohol, or spicy foods.
• Bumps and pimples: some people with rosacea develop small, red, pus-filled bumps on the face.
• Enlarged blood vessels: rosacea can cause blood vessels in the face to become enlarged, leading to a condition known as telangiectasia that makes the skin look red and spidery.
• Eye problems: in some cases, rosacea can affect the eyes, causing symptoms such as dryness, burning, itching, and sensitivity to light.

Rosacea can affect anyone in Singapore, but certain factors may increase a person's risk of developing the condition. 

Some of the factors that may increase the risk of rosacea include:

• Fair skin: people with fair skin are more likely to develop rosacea than those with darker skin.
• Age: rosacea typically develops after the age of 30 and is more common in people over the age of 50.
• Gender: women are more likely to develop rosacea than men, although men can also experience severe symptoms.
• Family history: rosacea tends to run in families.
• Sun exposure: exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet (UV) radiation can worsen rosacea symptoms. 
• Alcohol consumption: drinking alcohol, particularly red wine, can trigger rosacea flare-ups.
• Certain medical conditions: rosacea may be more common in people with certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and migraine headaches.
