As with all skin conditions, how rosacea affects you might be completely different to how it affects someone else. It is know to affect women aged 30 – 50 more than any other demographic, but it can affect absolutely anyone. It’s known as a chronic relapsing condition as there is no known cure and flare ups are very unpredictable. Some sufferers may go a long time without noticing any symptoms and then all of a sudden their rosacea could become highly active.

In many cases, it isn’t something to worry about, but in some cases the symptoms are significantly worse. The redness that you see around the cheeks and the nose can be coupled with uncomfortable stinging sensations, spots, thickening of the skin, dry eyes, and light sensitivity depending on the type of rosacea you have. Some sufferers have certain triggers that cause symptoms to flare up, such as cold weather, hot showers, spicy foods and alcohol to name just a few. 

Learning to identify and avoid your triggers can help to make rosacea more manageable, but for some patients it simply isn’t enough and a more long-term solution is needed.
