Rosacea

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea often begins as redness across the face, giving a flushed appearance on the cheeks and forehead. It is caused by swelling of the blood vessels under the skin. Over time, as swelling continues, the redness can become permanent. In severe cases, it can also cause thickening and complications of the blood vessels on the nose.

In addition, Rosacea can produce small spots or bumps, often leading to misdiagnosis as acne. If you are concerned about facial redness and are based in Brighton, Hove, or Worthing, our expert team is here to help.

What causes Rosacea?

The exact cause of rosacea is unknown. However, certain factors are known to trigger or worsen the condition. These include:

Alcohol

Exercise

Extreme temperatures

Hot drinks

Emotional stress

Sunlight exposure

At our Sussex skin clinics, our consultants are skilled in identifying your specific rosacea triggers and advising on effective management.
