Rosacea is a common, long-term skin condition that mainly affects the face. It often appears as persistent redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes raised spots or pustules or thickened skin. Symptoms may come and go in flare-ups.
We aim to help control persistent facial redness and flare-ups with expert dermatology care.
People with rosacea often have persistent facial redness, stinging, or sudden flushing, especially around the cheeks, nose, or forehead.
Feel Calm, Confident, & In Control of Your Skin Again
Living with rosacea can feel frustrating and unpredictable. It can affect self-esteem and confidence.
Rosacea often requires a multifaceted approach to treatment to reduce triggers, treat inflammation and treat redness due to dilated blood vessels in the skin.
Who gets Rosacea?
- More common in adults between 30 and 60 years old
- More frequently seen in fair-skinned individuals
- Both men and women can be affected, though men may develop more severe symptoms
Symptoms of Rosacea
Rosacea can vary from person to person, but common features include:
- Facial redness (usually across the cheeks, nose, forehead, or chin)
- Flushing or burning episodes of skin warmth
- Visible small blood vessels (telangiectasia)
- Raised spots or pustules
- Thickened skin in some cases, especially around the nose
- Eye symptoms (dryness, irritation, redness) – known as ocular rosacea
Demodex-related Rosacea
Recent research shows that in some patients, rosacea can be linked to Demodex mites.
What happens with treatment?
Once the Demodex are treated, patients often notice that their skin becomes smoother, less irritated, and less red.
What are Demodex mites?
Demodex are tiny mites that naturally live on human skin, especially in hair follicles and oil glands. In some people with rosacea, there may be a higher number of these mites, which can cause irritation and inflammation.
How does it feel?
Demodex-related rosacea can make the skin feel rough, similar to fine sandpaper, and may increase redness and sensitivity.
How do we diagnose this?
At our clinic, we use dermoscopy to assess the skin and check for the presence of Demodex mites.
