Rosacea

Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea

This subtype is characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels (telangiectasia), and facial flushing. It may also lead to a burning or stinging sensation.

Papulopustular rosacea

Often referred to as acne rosacea, this subtype involves redness, papules, and pustules similar to acne. It may also cause skin sensitivity and burning

Phymatous rosacea

In this rare subtype, thickened skin and irregularities develop, primarily on the nose (rhinophyma) but can affect other areas of the face as well.

Ocular rosacea

This subtype affects the eyes, causing redness, dryness, irritation, and sometimes even vision problems. It can occur independently or alongside skin symptoms.

Spicy foods, chocolate, alcohol, sun exposure, stress, temperature extremes, and certain medications can all trigger rosacea.
