CONDITIONS
RED SKIN / ROSACEA
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that manifests as a persistent redness in the cheek and T-zone areas of the face.
It’s a relatively common ailment, impacting around 10% of the population and displaying a higher prevalence among individuals of Caucasian descent.
While severe forms of rosacea tend to afflict men, it frequently emerges among women aged 20 to 50.
The precise cause of this condition remains somewhat elusive, but it is suspected to be linked to issues within the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, as well as heightened blood vessel dilation and immune system irregularities.
Various factors can potentially trigger rosacea, including the consumption of alcohol, use of harsh cosmetic products, emotional stress, exposure to heat and sunlight, and heightened anxiety levels.
