What is rosacea?

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. 

Common causes of rosacea in SIngapore

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.
