Rosacea

A flush on the cheeks is not just for embarrassing situations or when you see someone dear to you a human being? Do you feel stretching, tingling on your face? Your complexion is “coloured” pink! The disease is still found in the kuperozerythropoiesis, rosacea.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory, non-infectious skin disease that manifests redness and rashes on the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, sometimes affecting the eyes.

Rosacea is caused by a combination of factors:

more common in fair-skinned, blue-eyed people;
genetic predisposition – more likely to have red cheeks if there is a family history of people with the disease;
Environmental factors: sudden changes in ambient temperature (hot showers, sauna, hot tub, etc.), prolonged exposure to the sun without protective equipment;
more common in people who experience prolonged severe stress;
vasodilating foods that worsen the course of the disease (they do not cause the disease!!!): alcohol (especially red wine), spicy foods, very hot foods, heavy use of cinnamon etc.

If you feel and notice these skin changes, it’s likely that you have facial rosacea:

persistent redness of the face (especially in the cheeks);
prominent fine facial blood vessels – like pink stitches
cheeks;
a rash of red papules (‘pimples’);
a stretching, dry sensation that is not relieved by applying cream;
skin irritation, tingling, itching;
scaling of reddened areas;
enlarged couples

Avoiding provoking and aggravating factors is important for disease control, appropriate skin care products, and medication during an exacerbation. Facial rosacea is not completely curable, but with the most appropriate treatment for you, the disease is under control and healthy skin is achieved – only you know that the disease is still there, but your cheeks don’t show it.

It is recommended to treat only when the disease is noticed, as it requires the least effort to control and does not make such much impact on your quality of life.
