You’re Making Me Blush!
Embarrassment graces us all from time to time along with the blushing. But what if you keep blushing, even when you aren’t embarrassed? This frequent, often life-disrupting redness is known as rosacea.
Rosacea is a chronic condition more typically found in people with extremely fair skin. People experience chronic redness of the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead with rosacea. But it goes beyond blushing – people also experience bumps and pimples and even visible blood vessels.
A “flare-up” occurs when something irritates your skin or causes the blood vessels to expand. Common triggers are exercise, sun and wind exposure, stress and spicy foods. There are no cures and the cause is unknown. But what you can do is control the signs and symptoms of rosacea. Talking to one of our certified dermatologists is the first step!
