Let’s talk about rosacea—a skin condition that’s more common (and more misunderstood) than you might think. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered why your cheeks look permanently flushed, or why your skin suddenly feels hot and angry for no good reason, you’re definitely not alone!

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition, mostly showing up on the central part of the face (think nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead). It usually kicks off after age 30 and can stick around for years, popping in and out of your life with flare-ups and remissions. The main calling cards? Persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps that totally aren’t acne.

There are a few different types of rosacea, so it doesn’t look the same for everyone:

• Erythematotelangiectatic: Facial redness and visible blood vessels.
• Papulopustular: Red bumps and pimples.
• Phymatous: Thickened skin, especially around the nose.
• Ocular: Eye symptoms—think red, irritated, or watery eyes.

Why does it happen? Well, no one knows for sure. It’s not contagious (so you can’t “catch” it), but things like sun exposure, stress, spicy food, alcohol, and even hot drinks can trigger those flaming cheeks.

Recognising Rosacea: The Main Symptoms

Persistent facial redness often appears as a blush or sunburn that just won’t go away. This redness tends to linger and can make the skin look constantly flushed.

Flushing refers to frequent episodes where the face suddenly feels hot or appears red, similar to blushing. These bouts can be triggered by a variety of factors, such as heat, stress, or spicy foods.

Visible blood vessels, known as telangiectasia, are another common sign. These tiny red lines usually show up on the nose and cheeks, becoming more noticeable over time.

Bumps and pustules can also develop. These look similar to acne spots, but unlike typical acne, they don’t have blackheads. The skin may feel rough or bumpy in these areas.

Over time, some people experience skin thickening, most commonly on the nose. This change usually occurs after years of untreated or severe rosacea and can make the nose appear swollen or bulbous.

Rosacea can also affect the eyes. This may cause red, irritated eyes and lead to swollen or sore eyelids, sometimes making it uncomfortable to see clearly.

You might also notice stinging, burning, dryness, or swelling. Symptoms can be different for everyone and tend to come and go—one day calm, the next day not so much.

Early Signs to Watch For

- Flushing that lasts a few minutes but keeps coming back
- Persistent facial redness that won’t fade
- Burning or stinging in response to water or skincare
- Visible tiny blood vessels on your cheeks or nose
- Dry or rough patches of skin
- Mild swelling (sometimes around the eyes)

If you spot these early signs, it’s worth taking action—because gentle care now can help keep things under control later.
