Do you have rosacea?

Rosacea often manifests as persistent redness, primarily on the central parts of the face, such as the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin.

Patients notice:

• Flushing and redness
• Persistent irritation and a hot sensation
• A stinging and burning sensation

What causes rosacea?

Rosacea triggers can vary widely from person to person. Some of the more common triggers include:

• Sun exposure
• Hot or spicy foods and beverages
• Alcohol consumption
• Stress and emotions
• Extreme temperatures

Demodex or tiny mites

Beyond neurovascular and immune system factors, a microscopic mite called Demodex folliculorum has been considered a potential contributor to rosacea. This mite is a normal inhabitant of human skin but is substantially more abundant in the facial skin of rosacea patients. Researchers have also discovered that two genetic variants of the human genome may be associated with the disorder.
