Rosacea

Reduce facial redness

Rosacea is a common and often frustrating skin condition. At Skincodes clinic, we have numerous treatments available to help reduce its appearance.

Rosacea usually first appears as subtle reddening on the face, and over time, can develop into inflammation and skin eruptions. Common symptoms of rosacea include flushing or blushing which occurs easily and lasts longer than normal, burning or stinging sensations, or visible red lines on the face. While rosacea usually affects the face, it can also occur on the chest, neck, ears, back and scalp.

Who gets rosacea?

Rosacea is most common in adults aged 30-60, affecting women and men.

What causes rosacea?

Exact causes of rosacea are still unknown, however a variety of lifestyle factors (such as particular foods and stress) can trigger rosacea outbreaks. More recently it has been postulated that H.pylori a bacteria affecting the gastrointestinal system can be attributing to the development of rosacea.

What to eat

Some people find certain foods and drinks trigger their symptoms more than others, so you may want to consider how your diet could be affecting your rosacea flare-ups. Spices such as black pepper, cayenne and chili powder or drinks such as hot coffee or tea may contribute to inflammation.
