Symptoms of Rosacea

The symptom most commonly associated with rosacea is an overall redness of the skin. But despite some common beliefs, there are many more symptoms of rosacea. They include:

  • Redness: Rosacea causes varying degrees of redness on the facial skin. This is due to the fact that rosacea causes the blood vessels to enlarge and become more visible. The amount of redness varies depending on skin tone and severity of the rosacea.
  • Swollen bumps: It is very common for rosacea to cause swollen bumps to appear on the surface of the skin. To the uninformed, these bumps may appear to resemble acne . But unlike acne, they can be very painful and sensitive to the touch.
  • Skin thickening: The expansion of blood vessels during rosacea can also cause the skin to thicken and harden. This is especially prominent around the nose, which can appear bulbous or enlarged due to the condition.
  • Eye irritation: Rosacea also causes eye problems for many of those who suffer from it. Some of the eye issues rosacea can cause are swelling, irritation, dryness and reddened eyelids.

In many cases, eye irritation is the first sign that a person may be dealing with rosacea. Those who deal with rosacea typically suffer from flare-ups, where symptoms such as redness and bumpy skin increase for a short period of time.

Causes of Rosacea

There is no definitive cause of rosacea. It's possible that rosacea is hereditary, or it may stem from certain environmental factors. Certain risk factors can also contribute to worsening rosacea symptom, or lead to flare-ups.

Most of these risk factors cause flare-ups due to increasing blood flow to the skin or increasing the side of blood vessels. These causes of rosacea flare-ups include:

  • Certain medications
  • Hot water
  • Exercise
  • Stress
  • Excessive heat or cold
  • Sunlight exposure
  • Alcohol
  • Hot or spicy foods
  • Gut inflammation

While these issues are not the cause of rosacea themselves, they can cause more visible redness and may worsen the condition.
